Romantic Bridal Photo Shoot at Venachar Lochside - Nails for a Modern Couple
I was part of the creative team for a beautifully styled bridal photo shoot at Venachar Lochside, a breathtaking lochside venue in the heart of the Trossachs. With a rich, romantic colour palette, this shoot featured luxurious florals, dramatic styling, and a moody, elegant atmosphere.
The shoot featured a modern bridal couple, with two distinct but beautifully coordinated looks. I created natural, clean nails enhanced with chrome sheen and hand-painted, jewelled studded details - a subtle nod to texture and light that perfectly reflected the tone of the day.
This was a beautiful example of how editorial bridal nails can be both wearable and impactful, adding detail that’s captured perfectly in close-up shots and wedding portraits alike.
