Being Irrelevant: An Editorial Shoot. Rebellion in Bridal Form

Editorial Wedding Photography in Edinburgh & Glasgow

An Editorial Shoot that asks, Do we exist in a world where everybody wants to be somebody else? Driven by unnecessary noise, trends and pressure from tomorrows chip paper social media? Are we trying to fit into a hole we may not be suited to? Why does anybody else’s opinion even matter? Yet we crave validation because of the pavlovian cycle we are slaves to which demands we stay relevant.

This collection of images challenges the need to be anything other than yourself, wherever you are comfortable.

The Editorial

This editorial collection, created by Edinburgh wedding photographer Ryan Murrant, throws out the rulebook. Shot across still, poetic yet out of context spaces, the series asks a challenging question: do we really need to be anything other than ourselves? Are we simply playing into a cycle of dopamine and distraction, shaped by social media’s ever-fleeting approval?

At the heart of this work is freedom. The freedom to be yourself, even if that self is quiet, strange, soft, or gloriously off-trend.

Editorial Wedding Photographer in Edinburgh & Glasgow

This is where editorial meets introspection. As an editorial wedding photographer in Edinburgh and an Editorial wedding photographer in Glasgow, Ryan Murrant captures stories that lean away from the expected and into the meaningful. That spirit pulses through every frame of this shoot, from the surreal elegance of the aerial image, to the mirrored gaze of model and Afghan hound, to the raw intimacy behind veils of crystal and gold.

A Collective of Creative Souls

This was a collaboration rooted in intentional artistry. With florals by the wonderful Julie of A Curious Arrangement, millinery by the queen of WOW, Virna Pasquinelli, hair by the lovely Chelsea and makeup by Flynn, a diamond. The team conjured a mood that exists far beyond trends. This wasn’t about relevance. It was about resonance.

Being irrelevant has never looked so powerful.

Julita London: Bridalwear for the Unapologetically Individual

Julita London’s bridalwear acts as both armour and expression. These dresses are not about fitting in they are about falling into yourself. With ethereal structure, tactile detail, and timeless silhouettes, each Julita piece whispers strength rather than shouting for attention. They are heirlooms for women who reject the disposable. Pieces to wear when becoming the truest version of you, not a version fed through someone else’s filter.
