behind the scenes HAND IN HAND

Unveiling LVR Bridals' Inaugural Collection 'Hand in Hand'"

We're thrilled to take you behind the scenes of the spectacular photoshoot that brought "Hand in Hand" to life. Collaborating with the talented and renowned photographer & friend, Emma Anderson, based in the heart of New York, and featuring the incredible Tia Woods, both a friend of LVR and the perfect muse for this collection, the day was nothing short of magic.

Even in the face of challenges, including myself (Lauren) battling Covid, the shoot turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Working alongside friends, sharing laughs, beers, and art direction made it a day filled with warmth and creativity.

This blog post is a tribute to the extraordinary team that made it all possible and a celebration of the pride we feel in presenting the culmination of our hard work – the Hand in Hand collection & the perfect photoshoot to launch it.

The LVR gals looking very glamourous behind the scenes, as always! On the most picturesque private location shooting the Dhani Dress & Lia Skirt combo with Asher (the horse) and the very brave Tia who had no qualms barebacking in a tulle skirt with a 2m train! A true MVP!

Our trusty 35mm film camera comes with us everywhere, and helped us document all these in between moments throughout the day. We love looking at them next to Emma’s final images - it really helps to tell the story of the day, and bring us right back to that moment.

Obsessed with how this look turned out! The Claude Blouse and Trousers from our Wynn Hamlyn Collab styled with our Heartbreaker veil, and of course - a pearl trouser chain.

After shooting this look in the golden light, we moved to the seaside to capture the last looks. We couldn’t resist the contrast of the black rocks of the west coast & the delicate silk & lace of the Riley Corset & Zahra Cardi.

The Priscilla Mini glistened in the sunlight, before we headed off to capture the full Wynn Hamlyn X LVR Bridal Collab look as the sun sets.

Honestly!!! That’s a wrap on the most amazing shoot we’ve ever been part of.

Here’s to more women supporting women and running the world!

We wrapped up the day with a beer on the beach, sunkissed shoulders, and lots of group hugs.

Thanks for coming along on this journey! xx Lauren
