Retro 1950s Cinema Inspired Engagement Shoot

Retro 1950s Cinema Inspired Engagement Shoot

May 23, 2011 | Engagement Shoots, INSPIRATION

Good morning! What better way to brighten up a Monday morning than with a retro fabulous E-shoot?

Ashton of Ashton Jean-Pierre Photography is a big fan of 1950s style so he jumped at the chance to do a 1950s cinema-style shoot! He advised the couple what to wear and even brought his own props such as the bottle and poster but ‘not the old sofa! ‘ he said, ‘Luckily I found it!!’

I can’t begin to tell you how much I LOVE this shoot!

What’s not to love?

♥ A girl {Sophie} in a darling 50s dress, complete with petticoat, hair band and red heels

♥ A boy {Robert} in a smart casual ensemble and retro sunglasses

♥ A loved up couple having fun out and about on the streets of West London

♥ A random old {aka ‘vintage’} sofa, cute cinema inspired props, including a stripy popcorn box and…

♥ FANTASTIC photography!

The infamous old chair…such a great find for this shoot, don’t you think?

These shots below are brilliant! Sophie’s got the sweet, innocent pin up look down to a tee & Robert is super energetic!

Sophie and Robert are having a vintage wedding in just under 3 weeks!!

After seeing their engagement shoot I have no doubt it will be a stylish, fun affair. Wishing them both a stress free few weeks leading up to the big day, a wonderful wedding and a love-filled marriage!

I ‘met’ Sophie on Twitter last night & she told me that ‘working with Ashton was a wonderful experience’. How lovely!

Thanks so much to Ashton for sharing this shoot. To see more of his photography visit his blog and Facebook page.

Hope you have a {retro} fabulous Monday!
