Oh my my my! This concept of a studio 54 photosh

Oh my my my! This concept of a studio 54 photoshoot has been in my head for a few years now. So when Lisa from @photographyfarm and I decided to work together on a workshop. I knew it was time! The venue was perfect and as it’s was a workshop I had to go all out for Lisa and her clients, so I added maximalism in to the mix. So here we have it. The first look of 6!
Yes I said it 6 looks. But sooo many different set ups and scenes. I’m gonna be sharing these I can imaging for the rest of the year and some! Thanks again for all the suppliers that supported me and believed in my vision. Enjoy! Workshop @photographyfarm

On Tuesday 5th October. I got to work with some real legends in the game @thecostasisters (If you know you know). They create a retreat at the @thecanaryshed for photographers with education and a epic set ups to put all that knowledge into practice. They reached out to me after a recommendation to style the workshop part of the day. I created with the help of my gorgeous styling assistants beautiful styled tablescape, bar set up, disco area with a fabulous sparkly backdrop & metallic floor with all the disco balls I could fit. Then outside was a ceremony area. It was such a epic experience and seeing all the images from all the photographers and the suppliers is incredible. Thanks so much everyone. Keep a look out for all the gorgeous images of this shoot. .

Beautiful venue space and accommodation at Cheding

Beautiful venue space and accommodation at Chedington Court. We stayed at the Baqueira which has six en-suite double or twin bedrooms. It is a one-storey bungalow style, with a fabulous open plan living room and floor to ceiling gable windows. Baqueira has an indoor swimming pool and sauna which opens onto both a spacious enclosed garden and beautiful sunlit courtyard. It also has an outdoor BBQ and plenty of space for casual gatherings.

We have been featured on @rockmywedding This was my first studio shoot that I created the styling and decor for. Working with a blank canvas isn’t easy. But we smashed it! So myself and @boom_blooms got together and created this stunning colour palette with the help of the beautiful poppies that were just about still in season. I then wanted to add more of a citrus feel to the overall look. Yummy! What do you think? This was a beautiful collaboration with such talented artist. Check out the hand painted skirts on such beautiful two pieces by @beedaviesillustration It’s about creating a day that is your own. My motto is “ If you can’t see it, create it. “ And that is exactly what we have done on this shoot. So happy to have been a part of this.

Looking for inspiration for my bedroom in @bandq_uk and I remembered the colour combination of my clients colour palette for their outdoor wedding that I created. I loved it so much. So pink and green it is. So excited to get started on this. But first I better tackle the bathroom and my office and finish the hallway!

***** RED IS THE LUCKY COLOUR *****⁠
⁠
The name of this styled shoot was “Red, White & You. ⁠
⁠
This shoot was inspired by the Chinese culture of the models of this shoot. ⁠
⁠
Last year September/October time, I decided to create a styled shoot at the wonderful @Oastbrook vineyards. ⁠
⁠
Do you remember the time when UK wedding industry in particular only feature white models
(It’s was only last year). Then the movement BLM exploded and all of a sudden the industry jumped on supporting black models and creatives. Which was and is fantastic and was so needed. But then that was all you saw. The industry was flooded with beautiful images of black models. Which I applaud. ⁠
⁠
What I really wanted to see was inclusivity, not tokenism. That includes all people of colour and who have different ethnicity and cultures. ⁠
⁠
So I created something different. That’s my thing.⁠
⁠
So let’s talk about Red!⁠
⁠
Red is a lucky colour in Chinese culture⁠. ⁠
⁠
Red symbolises Happiness, Success and Good Fortune⁠
⁠
Red represents fire and is the most popular colour in China. It is also the national colour representing happiness, beauty, vitality, good luck, success and good fortune.⁠
⁠
Red envelopes for lucky money⁠.
⁠
Red is famously popular in relation to anything Chinese and is widely used during festivals and important events like weddings.⁠ If you look closely you can see the hand drawn image of the Oastbrook house. Also the wax stamp is of a peony which is again a luck flower in the Chinese culture.
⁠
Stationary by the wonderful Knock Knock Penny Studio. ⁠
⁠
Check out my website for more images of this shoot and of course lots more inspiration. Tichea x
