All Hallows Eve (or Halloween as now popularly known) marks the end of the summer and the harvest. As winter commences the ghosts of the dead return to roam the Earth. The former asylum (or madhouse) of Mombello, Italy is rumoured to be one of the ten scariest and most haunted places in the world. And it provided the perfect dramatic backdrop for this haunting styled shoot, sent to us by the team at DEMAS bridalwear. Dare you enter the Asylums labyrinth of rooms which are steeped in the history of madness?
A haunting love story
The shoot tells the story of Annalisa, a restless and tormented soul, who realises that her love for Marco has now come to an end. In the corridors of Mombello asylum in Italy, Annalisa meets Jasmine, a patient of the “Agitati” (or isolation) ward. Their likeminded souls meet and she immediately falls madly in love.
That same evening, Annalisa, in the midst of madness and imbalance, organizes Marco’s murder; but she is discovered. She is placed in the same ward as Jasmine where their souls will remain forever entwined for eternity. Still to this day you can hear the noises of laughter, running feet and slamming doors from the haunted ward!

We LOVE this shoot for so many spooky and chilling reasons
The photos taken by Enrico Pezzaldi Photography are full of drama & decadence. There is a perfect balance between the darkness & light. Smokebombs have been used to dramatic effect!
You know we LOVE black wedding dresses here at UW HQ and these are no exception to that rule. We loving the alternative wedding dresses together alongside the contrast of the modern white gown.

The wedding flowers draw inspiration from Halloween and the Autumn. They feature Orange Crush Roses alongside white & black roses. The hand tied bouquet features Beargrass and Spargina.
We LOVE how the hair and make up matches the style of the shoot perfectly. The loose and wavy hair styling reflects the chaos of the love story.
