A James Bond Inspired Style Shoot
So. Why a James Bond inspired shoot?
With the new Bond movie “Skyfall” being released the genius team of Linda Scannell Photography and Warwickshire Wedding Planner wanted to do an elegant Bond-themed wedding shoot to show how brides and grooms-to-be how they could incorporate Bond-inspired elements into their weddings. In my pure obsession with their work, even over Continents goes no further than to write a blog toasting a genius idea!
The theme
After researching previous Bond movies, the theme settled on was black tie with white, black, red and green inspired by casino tables.

The venue
Compton Verney was where the shoot took place. The former stately home is an amazing art gallery and one of the top 100 wedding venues according to Brides Magazine.

The car
James Bond has been associated with Aston Martins since the days of Sean Connery so Louise, the wedding coordinator and site designer tracked down a fabulous Aston Martin DBS, the same model and Quantum Silver color as the one driven by Daniel Craig in the previous Bond movie “Quantum of Solace” – an ideal car for the groom to make a stylish entrance on his wedding day.

The clothes
Their handsome “James Bond” wore his own classic single buttoned DJ, andthe gorgeous Bond girl bride, wore a flattering slim fitting ivory sleeveless dress with train by Rosa Couture, and a faux fur stole, both supplied by Village Brides of Long Compton.

Alternative flowers, jewelery and accessories
using alternative bouquets and buttonholes was a big part of getting the theme to really pop. The buttonhole and bouquet used lilies that look and feel completely real, but unlike real flowers will last for many years to come. The crystal necklaces, bracelet and head piece were also designed personally for this shoot.
