This past weekend, Divine Photography Eastbourne transformed Gildredge Park into a gothic fairytale for a dramatic, vampire-inspired photo shoot. With haunting beauty and moody elegance, the session brought together everything we love about dark, romantic storytelling.
A Vision of Gothic Elegance
Our stunning model, Zoe, embodied the spirit of a modern-day vampire. Styled with flawless gothic makeup and a wardrobe rich in texture and tone, she shifted effortlessly between soft mystique and commanding presence. She was the heart of our concept—graceful, bold, and captivating.
Adding to the drama, Florals by Zayna delivered a Halloween-inspired bouquet. With deep red roses and rich, moody foliage, the florals brought the perfect blend of dark romance and natural elegance.
Capturing the Dark Magic
As a husband-and-wife photography team, we each bring our own artistic lens. For this shoot, one of us focused on Zoe’s expressions, while the other captured the eerie atmosphere of Gildredge Park. Our aim was to tell a story through contrast—light and shadow, beauty and mystery.
With fallen leaves, soft mist, and fading daylight, each image felt like a moment pulled from a gothic novel. Every detail worked together to create that cinematic, haunting mood we envisioned.
The Perfect Setting: Gildredge Park, Eastbourne
Nestled in Eastbourne, Gildredge Park became the perfect backdrop. Its quiet pathways, autumn hues, and natural shadows helped us build a world where fantasy meets reality. Under the soft autumn sky, the park felt like a character in the story—silent, powerful, and beautifully eerie.
Final Shots: When Fantasy Becomes Real
Every image from this shoot tells its own story. Zoe’s compelling poses, paired with dramatic florals and thoughtful lighting, turned this session into more than just a Halloween shoot—it became a visual narrative of gothic glamour and dark elegance.
Thank You
A huge thank you to Zoe and Florals by Zayna for bringing this vision to life with style and passion. And to our community: stay tuned for more creative shoots from Divine Photography Eastbourne, where we embrace the unexpected and turn imagination into art.
🖤 Until next time, embrace the shadows.
