Behind the scenes at a Pure Weddings photo shoot at Hoghton Tower in Lancashire

With its royal connections the 16th century house was the perfect location to showcase gowns fit for any Lancashire, Cheshire or Yorkshire princess, kindly supplied by The Bridal Gallery Group.

The shoot, which appears in the Spring/Summer 11 issue of Pure Weddings features professional photography by Matthew Stansfield (rather than our behind-the-scenes snaps!), flowers by Flower Design from Lytham St Annes, hair by Mark Power, make up by Sana Ali and model Faith, from Nemesis Model Agency in Manchester.
