🖤✨ Vampires in the Park: A Hauntingly Beautiful Photo Shoot at Gildrege Park ✨🖤


This past weekend, Divine Photography Eastbourne transformed Gildredge Park into a scene straight from a gothic fairytale, setting the stage for an epic vampire-inspired photo shoot. Our goal? To create a dark, mysterious, and magical experience that brought the eerie charm of vampiric beauty to life. From stunning costumes and makeup to captivating florals, each element added to the allure of this haunting event.


Bringing the Vision to Life: Gothic Glamour and Spooky Elegance


The creative process began with our model, Zoe, who effortlessly embodied the elegance and mystique of a modern-day vampire. With flawless gothic makeup and a wardrobe that captured the essence of dark beauty, Zoe’s presence set the tone for each shot. Her looks, alternating between ethereal grace and haunting allure, were the perfect muse for this vampiric aesthetic.


Florals by Zayna added an unforgettable touch, delivering a Halloween-inspired bouquet that perfectly balanced spooky sophistication with natural beauty. Dark roses, rich foliage, and moody accents gave our shoot an authentic touch of Halloween magic—ideal for crafting a sense of haunted elegance.


Capturing the Magic: Photography with a Twist


As husband-and-wife photographers at Divine Photography Eastbourne, we each bring a unique perspective to every project, blending two distinct styles to capture the magic from different angles. For this shoot, one lens focused on Zoe’s captivating expressions, while the other explored the ambiance of Gildredge Park, creating images that feel cinematic and immersive. The interplay of shadow and light emphasized the darker elements of the theme, making each photo come alive with a touch of mystery.


The Atmosphere: Gildredge Park Meets Halloween Glam


Gildredge Park in Eastbourne served as the perfect backdrop. With its lush greenery, secluded spots, and natural shadows, the park took on an almost otherworldly vibe under the dim autumn light. The soft mist in the air and the rich colors of fallen leaves added a depth and richness to the photos, enhancing the Halloween aesthetic. Combined with Zoe’s vampiric grace, the setting created a striking contrast of gothic glamour against nature’s beauty.


A Look at the Final Shots


Each image from the session embodies a story—a moment where fantasy meets reality. Zoe’s expressions, the atmospheric park, and the artistry of gothic makeup and florals come together in harmony, creating a visual journey into a world of haunting allure.
