Layer Marney Tower Styled Shoot

In April of this year, I had the absolute pleasure of working on a stunning styled shoot at the iconic Layer Marney Tower, coordinated by the talented Beth Dowdell Photography. With spring in the air and summer just around the corner, this shoot was filled with bright, bold colours that perfectly captured the essence of a lively and vibrant wedding celebration. The rich hues, lush florals, and modern details came together beautifully, offering the perfect inspiration for couples looking to add a pop of colour to their big day.

Layer Marney Tower, with its historic charm and picturesque surroundings, was the ideal backdrop for this bright and bold wedding inspiration shoot. As soon as I saw the vision come to life, I knew we were in for something special.

The Colour Palette

One of the standout features of this styled shoot was its daring use of bright colours. From vibrant oranges to rich pinks, the colour scheme was full of energy, and it was a joy to see how the bold tones complemented the stunning architecture of the venue. It was a celebration of spring and summer at its finest—full of life, fun, and unforgettable style.
