On a sunny but freezing April morning, the team gathered at the lake in Black Park, Buckinghamshire to capture the Sanyukta Shrestha ‘Enchanted Blooms’ collection in its full glory.

Black Park is neighbouring Pinewood Film Studios and therefore has been used as an outdoor location for many film and television productions. The park has been a significant location for several James Bond movies (Goldfinger, Octopussy, The World is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Casino Royale) and Harry Potter (The Philosophers Stone, The Chamber of Secrets, The Goblet of Fire and The Order of the Phoenix). We are incredibly honoured to having been able to shoot another Sanyukta Shrestha collection at the park, but this time, we went a bit more experimental and dramatic. We used different colored smoke to create a dreamy atmosphere with the sun shining through gently. A highlight for us all has been shooting the evening wear collection as its vivid colours truly complemented the scenery.

The beauty of the nature transpired though the eco-friendly fabrics of the dresses and let the gowns sparkle in their very own right. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t always on our side and showed its excursiveness which is typical for April. However, the photographer & whole team seamlessly managed to cope with the weather which kept changing from sunny to cloudy and rainy. We took advantage of the whole day and moved our shooting locations to different beautiful spots in the park and its breathtaking woods. Luckily, we had two beautiful models who were not only coping with a cold breeze but were also brave enough to pose in the lake, making it possible to capture truly stunning images.
