Wuthering Heights is a novel that I have always been drawn back to as a reader. The dark, whimsical setting of the moors. The tragic love story of Heathcliff and Catherine. And the first and only published novel by Emily Brontë. A female voice, writer and artist that has always given me inspiration. To say the least, I was excited to be photographing a Wuthering Heights Styled Shoot for The NotWedding.
Working with a team of awesome vendors, together we planned our shoot. We began thinking about different ways to create an overall look and style that was inspired by Wuthering Heights. With the leadership of our event coordinator and designer, Adrienne Horty we found the perfect location for our shoot: Beech Hill Preserve in Rockport, ME. Together we climbed to the hilltop and found ourselves to the quaint Beech Nut, which resembles the isolated countryside of the moors, the setting of “Wuthering Heights”. We wanted our bride and groom to embody this theme as well. And with help of our stylist and local bridal designer we styled our bride and groom in the fashion, clothing, hair, makeup and accessories that we considered romantic and whimsical, yet dramatic and unique.
