Through our, bespoke to Welshot costumes it’s very much a nod to this eclectic and fascinating venue that’s perfect for you as a photographer. Each of the three models will have two outfits which have been especially made for them – and you won’t see these outfits anywhere else other than at Welshot!  We will be adding our own twist to the costumes and you can expect a dash of historical period costume to add to the explosion of colour!

Dangerous Liaisons - Mrs Lovett by Gill McGowan

Dangerous Liaisons – Scandal, Intrigue, Mystery and Beauty – all of which surround the Women who will be portrayed by our Models in this Welshot Themed Photo-Shoot.  Covering eras from the mid 18th century to the 1950’s – this Welshot inspired themed photo-shoot will portray at least four historical/fictitious, often infamous, Women – two of which can be seen here. Mrs Lovett from Sweeny Todd and Marie Antoinette.

At this Welshot event, with at least four Models (Male and Female) we will be using costumes from different historical periods – Most of the costumes will be bespoke to Welshot, having been made, or adapted, by our Team Creative.

As well as our bespoke costumes, we will have at least four different, specifically printed backdrops, that are unique to Welshot – all with an array of props for you to use throughout the day, ensuring you will leave this event with images to be proud of.

The full day themed photo-shoot event, Mad Hatters was a long time coming. It was well worth the wait however when Models, the Cambria Costume House and Team Welshot all came together at the Chester Crowne Plaza on Sunday 14th August to bring eighteen passionate photographers a great day of photography. From beginning to end the models danced, posed and portrayed the Lewis Carroll characters in six full studio set-ups, complete with bespoke backdrops and props which included a full-size dolls house, pink flamingos, knitted cupcakes, and a large assortment of teapots, cups and saucers.
