Some photoshoots leave you enchanted long after the last candle is blown out – and this one is exactly that. Grungy, Gleaming, and Sensational was born out of the perfect mix of raw textures, sparkling glamour, and undeniable romance. Set against the rustic stone walls of the breathtaking Diamante Estate, this styled shoot was a dream brought to life.

From the start, the vision was clear: a contrast of rough, moody tones with the luminous glow of hundreds of candles and shimmering chandeliers. New Vintage Events styled and coordinated every detail flawlessly, weaving together elegance and edge in a way that felt both modern and timeless.

The bride stunned in gowns and jewellery by Jeanne & Co, each look making its own statement – from a feather-trimmed sparkle mini to the dramatic bow-backed satin dress. Her style was perfected with soft yet striking hair and makeup artistry by Sunet Basson, perfectly complementing the romantic but bold atmosphere of the shoot. Candles, candles, and more candles – thanks to Candles 4 U, every frame glowed with warmth and intimacy. Towering glass holders created dramatic layers of light, while chandeliers from Baie Goeters rained down luxury from above.

Every detail of this shoot spoke of contrast – grungy textures against gleaming lights, bold fashion paired with soft romance. Together, it created a mood that was nothing short of sensational. If you’re a couple who loves the unconventional, who dreams of mixing edgy aesthetics with timeless luxury, then let this shoot inspire you: your wedding can be both grungy and glamorous, sensational in every way.
