Carpe Diem Studios is one of Surrey’s top wedding photography teams, known for capturing breathtaking portraits and timeless wedding moments. They wanted a way to showcase their work that felt just as premium as their photography something more than a portfolio, something clients would savor.
The goal? A high-end magazine that wasn’t just pretty it had to tell love stories, spotlight their artistry, and ultimately bring more couples through the door.
We started by getting crystal clear on what makes luxury wedding magazines work.
Researched top editorial styles: Looked at leading bridal publications and boutique print layouts to see how they balanced imagery with white space.
Considered the audience: Engaged couples planning their big day looking for inspiration, trust, and a little magic.
Mapped flow: Structured each section to move from stunning feature spreads to intimate testimonials, guiding readers through an emotional journey.
Logo: A clean, modern wordmark with a subtle construction-inspired edge. Strong lines, no gimmicks.
Color palette: Dark, confident tones with traditional accents to signal experience and trust.
Business cards: Sleek, high-contrast, and premium-feeling something you’d feel confident handing to a GC or investor.
Brand guidelines: To keep everything consistent, no matter where or how the brand is used.
30% More Inquiries: Couples reached out after seeing the magazine many said it was what convinced them to book.
Premium Brand Perception: Carpe Diem Studios stood out clearly as a luxury choice among Surrey wedding photographers.
Social Sharing: The digital flipbook was shared widely by brides, grooms, and planners, boosting online engagement.
“The magazine is stunning it feels like something you’d find in the best bridal shops. It’s helped us get more couples excited to book with us and shows off our work beautifully.”
