A Vintage-Styled Photo Shoot in Great Malvern

When a vintage photography event is organised about 10 minutes away from where you live, giving you the opportunity to meet new friends, talk photography, and take some gorgeous photos – how can you say no?

Planned by Theresa, this event was by far one of the best I have ever attended. The models were so incredibly gorgeous, beautifully styled. The locations were top notch – Malvern, anyone? Eleven photographers showed up and we had the best day together.

Here are my favourite images from the day:

This is the stunning Melanie Armsden. I absolutely love her look and vintage style – plus she looks gorgeous in red – and I could not get enough of her tattoos!

This is the beautiful and multi-talented Chara Jackson. She is an excellent model and I was very impressed with how she handled herself in front of the camera.

And this redheaded bombshell is the fabulous Clare Hughes. We kept telling her she looked like a real life version of Jessica Rabbit. That dress looked totally stunning on her.

Locations:
1) The Malvern Priory
2) The Abbey Hotel, Great Malvern
3) The Great Malvern Rail Station

List of Vendors:
Le Keux Events for hair, makeup and styling
Vivien of Holloway for attire
Barrington Chauffer Services for two 1950 vintage cars
Miss Ruby Sue for vintage inspired headdress

Models:
In order of appearance
Melanie Armsden
Chara Jackson
Clare Hughes

And a HUGE THANKS to Theresa for organising such an AMAZING day!

Hi Alex, thank you so much for taking the time to reply – very much appreciated. I’ve looked up ShutterRock as you suggested. It’s a closed group but I have asked to join.
I’ve been looking at your work by the way – absolutely love it!! Some inspirational stuff and some ideas there which are close to what I am trying to achieve.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Hey Geoff, I think it was more of a one time kind of thing – search for ShutterRock UK on Facebook. They organise lots of free shoots, meet ups events for professionals and amateurs alike! :) I hope that helps you find what you are looking for. Good luck and big hugs! xoxo

Hi there, was looking at your pictures of the vintage photoshoot. Do you think the event will be repeated and would it be open to a paying amateur to join in?

I love this, Alex. They are beautiful. The color is great and my favorites are the ones with the flowers blurred right in front of your lens. I love how hard you work — how you are always creating something new to shoot. It’s extremely inspiring. xoxo.
