In late April, Hastings & King partnered with Bretagne Studio to create an extraordinary editorial that highlights the atelier’s stunning Spring/Summer 2024 bridal collection. Renowned for their bespoke haute couture wedding gowns, Bretagne Studio’s designs embody opulence and intricate artistry. This collaboration brought those elements to life, with Hastings & King crafting a visual narrative rich in light, texture, and movement.
The goal of this project was to explore the balance between softness and strength—melding hyper-feminine details with bold, sensual silhouettes. The final images offer a unique perspective on bridal fashion, blending timeless elegance with avant-garde sophistication.
Bretagne Studio: The Art of Haute Couture Bridal Gowns
Bretagne Studio’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection is a celebration of detail and luxury. Each gown features intricate beadwork, ornate embellishments, and refined craftsmanship. Hastings & King worked to accentuate these qualities by playing with light and motion, creating dramatic compositions that draw attention to the gowns’ artistry.
The designs are a study in contrasts—soft, delicate textures meet powerful, structured silhouettes. This duality gives the collection its unique allure, appealing to modern brides seeking a fusion of coquette style and enduring elegance.
Ornaigh Accessories: Elevating Bridal Drama
To complement Bretagne Studio’s gowns, the shoot incorporated neo-traditional accessories by Ornaigh, including intricate headpieces and veils. These accessories added layers of texture and depth, creating a high-fashion aesthetic that perfectly harmonized with the couture designs.
The accessories enhanced the opulence of the gowns, lending a sense of theatricality and sophistication. Hastings & King’s lens captured the interplay of these elements, delivering images that feel both ethereal and editorial.
