Autumn Reverie

An 18th-century country house hewn from weathered Cornish granite, framed by tree-dotted lawns and gardens that drift towards the sea, Tredudwell Manor is a setting made for love stories. Blending heritage and modernity with effortless grace, the historic manor and contemporary pavilion offer seclusion, timeless charm and the kind of romance that lingers long after sunset.

It was this heady blend of beauty and atmosphere that made it the perfect canvas for a fine art workshop and styled shoot hosted by photographer Victoria Amrose, Inspired by a luxurious, classic wedding aesthetic and the warm hues of autumn, the shoot weaves together the rich tones of auburn, peach, pink, beige and gold to capture a modern love story steeped in Cornish magic.

Florals take centre stage: abundant, artfully arranged seasonal blooms bring warmth and vibrancy to every scene, from ceremony to tablescape. Blush and auburn candles, gold-rimmed glassware and shimmering tableware catch the light, while shell-inspired details whisper of the nearby coast. Elegant stationery sealed with golden wax and a striking, sculptural cake complete the scene – a study in artistry, texture and modern romance.

The bridal fashions mirror the mood of the setting. Morning preparations begin in a robe of tumbling ruffles before a breathtaking transformation into a layered ballgown with an intricate floral bodice – a vision of luxe femininity paired with a sleek ponytail and delicate pearls. Later, as mist drifts across the clifftops, the bride steps into a clean, contemporary gown – minimal, dramatic and utterly captivating against the Cornish seascape. As dusk falls, she slips into a chic bridal mini with a statement back bow and shimmering choker – ready to dance the night away in this dreamlike setting.
