The styled shoot and creative team
A creative collaboration in Riga
This styled wedding shoot was created at Grand Palace Hotel in Riga, with models and a team working on fashion, hair, makeup, flowers and stationery. It is an editorial collaboration rather than coverage of a couple’s wedding day.
That distinction matters when using photographs as inspiration. A styled shoot allows time to arrange clothing and details for the camera. A real wedding includes a ceremony, guests and events that unfold without being repeated, so the two kinds of gallery answer different questions.
Use this collection to consider the details you are drawn to: the relationship between clothing and surroundings, the styling of flowers and paper goods, and the balance of individual portraits and photographs together. For a wedding, choose the ideas that fit your plans rather than trying to reproduce an entire shoot.
If you would like photographs inside a hotel, check which rooms can be used, whether access needs to be booked and how photography fits around other guests. Give your photographer and styling team a shared schedule so hair, makeup and dressing do not use up the time intended for portraits.
See wedding photography in Latvia and Eleonore and Victor’s real wedding at Rumene Manor for a different kind of celebration.
