A Couture Dream at Cruden Farm: Our Editorial Featuring the Nicole + Felicia Senstudio Gown
If you’re planning a high-end destination wedding and love fashion-forward bridal editorials, this Cruden Farm shoot featuring the Nicole + Felicia Senstudio gown is everything, luxury, couture, and cinematic romance.
There are places in the world that hold a quiet kind of magic, Cruden Farm is one of them. The historic estate, with its sculpted gardens, winding paths, and sun-drenched meadows, became the backdrop for our latest editorial, a celebration of modern couture and timeless romance. For this shoot, we had the immense pleasure of photographing the breathtaking Senstudio gown by Nicole + Felicia, a design house renowned for its architectural silhouettes and red-carpet drama.
From the moment the gown arrived, we knew this editorial would speak to our most discerning international clients, particularly our brides in New York, California, Texas, and beyond who seek wedding imagery that feels more like a fashion campaign than traditional photography.
The Vision: Fashion, Light, and Movement
Our creative direction centred around three pillars: movement, light play, and feminine strength.
The Senstudio gown is a sculptural masterpiece, structured yet ethereal, commanding yet delicate. We wanted to honour that duality by letting the gown breathe in natural light, allowing the fabric to respond to the elements. Wind swept through the gardens, lifting the veil and creating the kind of spontaneous, cinematic movement that has become synonymous with the Lost In Love aesthetic.
Every frame was designed to feel editorial, intentional, and emotionally charged. We leaned into luminous highlights, elongated silhouettes, and the interplay of shadow across the gown’s textured corsetry.
Cruden Farm: Old-World Elegance for the Modern Bride
For our American readers, Cruden Farm is an iconic Australian estate, think European garden romance meets refined countryside luxury. With its antique architecture, private lake, and richly manicured grounds, it parallels many of the estates favoured by East Coast and Californian couples: think Oheka Castle, Kestrel Park, Sunstone Winery, or private European-inspired manors.
The estate’s mix of lush greenery and classical stonework framed the gown with effortless sophistication, creating imagery that would feel at home in the pages of Vogue Weddings or Over The Moon.
Why This Editorial Speaks to Our U.S. Brides
More and more of our international couples are seeking photography that blurs the line between wedding documentation and high fashion storytelling. This editorial is a perfect example of that shift.
Here’s what resonates with our luxury U.S. clientele:
A couture gown treated as art
A location with global, old-world appeal
Editorial compositions inspired by fashion campaigns
A refined colour palette that feels expensive, elegant, and timeless
Imagery that elevates the bridal narrative beyond the wedding day itself
Our American clients want photographs that feel iconic—images that express their personality, style, and story with the same sophistication found in luxury fashion spreads. This shoot was created with that audience in mind.
Nicole + Felicia: The Art of Modern Couture
Nicole + Felicia continue to redefine bridal fashion with silhouettes that command attention. The Senstudio gown, with its architectural bodice, sculpted drop waist, and layers of textured fabric, feels like wearable art.
It’s bold. It’s feminine. It’s unforgettable.
And on the grounds of Cruden Farm, it became the centrepiece of a visual story about confidence, grace and modern luxury.

Whether your celebration is unfolding in Napa Valley, Palm Beach, Manhattan, Aspen, or a private villa in Lake Como, our editorial approach remains the same:
we transform your wedding into a work of art—timeless, stylish, and emotionally rich.
