Love Stories

The styled bridal session at Stanton Fitzwarren brought together four women in wedding dress, each photographed individually and together across a stone house courtyard and the rooms of the house itself. This is not documentary wedding photography — there is no ceremony, no day, no groom. What it is is something closer to fashion editorial:…
