Post-wedding Experience: Be Hollywood Stars for a Day

So many post wedding shoots are all about the bride - but today I'm sharing a post-wedding treat for you as a couple. An extension of the magic of your wedding day, an experience to share together with pampering and luxury, the chance to dress up for your very own Hollywood Vogue couple's shoot.

Your own post-wedding glamorous photo shoot

McAvoy Photography have created Hollywood Vogue to be all about glamour, love and romance. After the intensity of wedding planning, the heady excitement of your wedding day, here's your chance to extend that fabulous euphoric feeling that can deflate quickly once the honeymoon is over. Jenny and Keith McAvoy created Hollywood Vogue shoots as a real treat with champagne, cupcakes, a hotel stay and a fabulous shoot to create lasting memories.

Jenny told me, "We wanted to celebrate this in a way that oozes glamour and timeless sophistication. We want to create an experience that matches your own personality and the scenes we created are just a small selection. You may be more of a Katharine Hepburn: independent, intelligent, forthright; or a cool ice princess like Grace Kelly; a sexy siren like Ava Gardner; or a willowy modern woman - Nicole Kidman. The inspiration is within you. We just want to capture your inner diva and make sure your leading man is there to share fully in the romance-whether he is Cary Grant, James Cagney, George Clooney, Sean Connery or Bradley Cooper."

Hollywood Vogue and Illustries

McAvoy Photography have teamed up with Illustries, the bespoke memory book company, to offer you luxurious keepsakes of your Hollywood Vogue shoot. Your Illustry is a beautifully designed album telling your Hollywood Vogue story in words and pictures.

Illustries' introduction to the Hollywood Vogue shoot is compelling: "Hol­ly­wood in its Golden Age: sophis­ti­ca­tion, glam­our and mys­tery in equal mea­sure. A time when movie stars far eclipsed today’s actors, when they were icons, icons that shine as bright today as in those hal­cyon days. When the ead­ing man oozed charm and power on and off screen. And when the lead­ing lady smoul­dered behind a cool, flaw­less facade.“Those Hol­ly­wood pin ups were cap­tured for­ever on the sil­ver screen and in the stu­dio por­traits that helped cre­ate their fame and their sig­na­ture look. The sexy blonde bomb­shell, the ice-cold princess, the tem­pes­tu­ous rebel – roles and char­ac­ters both cre­ated and pro­moted in those iconic shots. Beau­ti­fully lit, immac­u­lately made up and styled to per­fec­tion, Hollywood’s most sen­sa­tional stars appeared in some of the most glam­orous cos­tumes ever seen, the ladies with every volup­tuous curve draped and high­lighted, the men immac­u­lately suited and groomed.“But despite the art of the cos­tu­mier, it is the beauty and mag­net­ism of the stars in those images that endures. Now you too can cap­ture a lit­tle Hol­ly­wood magic with the supremely deca­dent Hol­ly­wood Vogue photo-shoot. Inspired by the stars and stu­dios of yes­ter­year, Jenny and Keith McAvoy have launched a post-wedding ser­vice that revives that Hol­ly­wood atmos­phere for even the most mod­ern of brides and grooms. Jenny and Keith cre­ate the ulti­mate Hol­ly­wood shots, each one given a dust­ing of star­dust with authen­tic light­ing, styling and tech­nique to make you and your lead­ing lady or man the stars of your very own pic­ture show.”

McAvoy Pho­tog­ra­phy also offer this ser­vice as an engage­ment shoot — what bet­ter way to set the mood for your wed­ding? It could be adapted for a fab­u­lously deca­dent hen party or an orig­i­nal anniver­sary gift.
