When Mark Keogh asked if we would like to be part of an upcoming editorial bridal shoot at Mar Hall, we jumped at the chance.

So what is a styled bridal shoot?  This is where a team of bridal professionals gets together and lets their creativity flow.  The end result is incredible images and videography.

What truly stood out to me was the peaceful and private experience you offer. Each bride gets her own fitting room and personal space, without the distraction of other clients or loud crowds. It felt so calm, intimate, and respectful—just the way a bridal fitting should be.

The shop itself is very luxurious and I was surprised by the range of different styles and designers that were available. I liked that I had the space to myself, as it didn’t make me feel rushed when browsing and trying dresses on.

From the moment I arrived with my mum and maid of honour the store looked luxurious, we were welcomed by Charlotte who was so friendly, she made me and my mum feel so welcome and relaxed. 

Ines took great care of me and advised me to have a look around and turn the dresses that caught my eye on the hanger and we could try them on, we started with 5, I tried on 2 dresses before I tried my dress on and as soon as I put it on I felt the most comfortable I had in any dress, before I had even seen it, when I walked out and seen myself in the mirror I literally gasped!

My advice is to just enjoy the process, it’s such a special time looking for your wedding dress. Don’t be afraid to try on something outside of your comfort zone, and be open to advice from the girls at Sophia Grace - they are so helpful!
