Tea for Two: Beyonce Inspired Bridal Beauty Shoot | Ambient Jade Photography

Oh me oh my what a refreshing bridal beauty shoot I have to share with you today.
Contrary to what some might think when picking up a wedding magazine, bridal beauty comes in an array of different varieties and it’s a delight to see a talented team of wedding professionals wanting to represent different variations of beauty in their inspiration shoot.
This debut shoot is conceived by make up artist Ellieanorah (Elle) Ikiebe is inspired by Beyonce’s album – lemonade and celebrates the carefree black women movement of the moment with a historical context. with the black and white motif inspired by freedom from Beyonce’s Lemonade album.
Complemented by wedding dresses from Lucky Sixpence Bridal – who refer to themselves as an outfitter for “badassbrides” (take with that as you will!) it is the perfect pairing. Founder of Lucky Sixpence Bridal Anna, founded 2 years ago after her own wedding and was motivated to provide an alternative and affordable bridal fashion offering for brides who want to go against the norm.
As a small business aiming to disrupt and improve the industry, I love to collaborate with others doing things I admire. I met Elle through her sister who I had interviewed for a magazine a few years ago and loved her idea for the shoot and helping break down the stereotypical vibes of bridal shoots.As a bridal supplier I aim to work with beautiful girls of all ethnicities for my photoshoots and can’t wait for this to be the norm across the industry!

The models were captured in the historic Geffrye Museum gardens (London), having high Tea wearing vintage dresses and our genius photographer Robin, from Ambient Jade captured the classic and modern mood perfectly. Elle
This inspiration shoot is definitely something you won’t have seen before, from the fashion, to the models, to the braids and natural hair. Congratulations Elle and team for going against the grain and showcasing bridal beauty looks for women who are often forgotten about.


Being explicit about this shoot celebrating carefree black women was a gamble and it paid off.
