On Saturday 13th September 2025, we will be shooting in this breathtaking stately home. Our theme is 'Couture Gowns' and our models will be wearing a collection of four stunning, delicate gowns in bold colours and metallics. 

Our amazing location has been used for film & TV, including most recently in BBC's 'Ludwig' and is a stunning example of 18th-century English architecture. Originally built in the late 17th century, the mansion was extensively redesigned and expanded in the Palladian style during the early 1700s under the direction of architect Sir James Thornhill, who also worked on the interior paintings, and later, Italian architect Giacomo Leoni. Its opulent design reflects the aristocratic tastes of the era, with grand reception rooms, elegant staircases, and breathtaking murals that tell stories of classical mythology and allegory. A truly breathtaking location and an amazing place to spend a day shooting four amazing models.

There will be a combination of lighting set up for you or we will use natural light plus reflectors (I'll be on hand to assist) meaning you don't need to worry about anything but taking amazing pictures. OR, you are welcome to bring your own battery operated lights.

 I’ve deliberately kept group sizes small to ensure a relaxed shoot where everyone has the same opportunity to shoot and work with our models. You will be working in groups of 4 with timed 121 time, working with one model on rotation before moving on to the next.

The cost? An astonishingly good value £325 per person for a session full of amazing gowns, fabulous modelling and a few laughs guaranteed. 

£75 pp deposit to secure your space, with the final balance payable 28 days before event.

Our location:

Our location is stunning, evoking a mood of the grand French palaces. See for yourself below. Please note due to the size of the building and rooms, there is a dance workshop running concurrently.

• Great Hall - a huge space with painted walls and beautiful doorways
• Balcony - a stunning space above the great hall
