Is that Bolton Castle or Dragonstone?

 

Is that Bolton Castle or ‘Dragonstone’?

Beautiful Bolton Castle is often hired as a backdrop for films and TV dramas, thanks to its extraordinary setting and the little evidence of 21st century life within and surrounding the castle.  Late last year, the castle played a key part in a recent photo shoot for the UK’s premier Alternative Wedding Magazine – a glossy publication showcasing weddings with a difference.  The ‘Game of Thrones-style’ photographs have been published and the team at the castle are proud to show Bolton Castle as you’ve never seen it before.

The shoot team from the magazine created a range of wedding settings to inspire couples who wanted something just that little bit more and Bolton Castle truly played its part.  This complex, well-organised photo shoot included a team of models, hair and make-up artists, a range of dresses and accessories, shot with an overall moody feel and a muted colour pallet which complimented the castle beautifully.  The magazine team then added a stunning white stallion and fire eaters, plus themed wedding cakes, and the shoot was complete. 

Jacqui Naylor, general manager at Bolton Castle says: “We love all types of weddings and we are privileged to have hosted a diverse range of themes in our time.  Couples love our Owl delivering the wedding rings, our roaring fires and fabulous views, so we are very lucky to have such a beautiful location to work with.  This photo shoot was just as detailed as a film shoot, and required much planning.  For once we didn’t want a sunny day!  We absolutely loved working with the Alternative Wedding Magazine and we’re delighted to share the results.”  Visit Alternative Wedding Magazine Autumn issue for the full feature.
