el Gaucho Styled Shoot - Wedding Friends

Wedding Friends is extremely proud to share today's Gaucho inspired styled shoot with you, as compiled, planned and shot by the newly branded Estilo Photography. This styled shoot was the perfect opportunity for these creatives to let their minds run, to think outside of the box and most of all, to have fun. Have a look, as you will be inspired!

From the Photographer:

In the midst of the pastel trend that hit us hard and would.not.budge. - for a few seasons in a row - Dolce and Gabbana threw at us their 2015 collection like something out of a Cervantes novel: rich jewel colours, Spanish folklore and black lace.

But let's rewind a few steps first. We've had a bit of an obsession with the Argentinian gaucho clan for a few years now and have collected images and stories about this almost legendary nomadic people. They are horsemen, first and foremost. Cowboys really, but the South American variety.

We decided to mix these two interlinking themes into our Gaucho-inspired styled shoot, and hope to inspire brides-to-be with these colours and textures (and a bit of the dramatic).

Have a look at the behind the scenes video from this shoot.


The success of this shoot lies in the collaboration, of course, as we worked with the absolute créme de la créme in the industry. Sam Scarborough did the make-up, hair and nails (this woman is a miracle worker) on all four models. Hauke Digital shot the BTS footage; Biji of Biji Couture was an absolute star with the dresses and all the perfect accessories; Chrystalace designed and printed the gorgeous stationery; Eve of the Splendid Wedding Company designed the flowers for the unique neck- hair and centre pieces and we cannot forget our incredible models: Kylie, Carolyn, Mari-Lize and Kyla. This crew is unbelievable!


*Also, a special thanks to DJ Barry de Vaal of Soundworx for making his smoke machine available for the day, as well as the Coetzee family for allowing us to take over their home and their horses for the day and catering at five-star level!
