Death Will Not Part Us - a devotion beyond life itself.

Written By Charlotte Yates

A world where love defies the boundaries of time is captured perfectly by Eloise Pitcher Photography in this styled shoot organised buy Ella Bella Weddings and Events in collaboration with Quirky Weddings. This gorgeous feature, enveloped in rich red florals that ignite passion and life, centres around a striking coffin archway and intertwines everlasting love with gothic beauty.

Love’s invitation is universal and this shoot perfectly brings to life the age old adage - love knows know bounds (not even death), and we are proud to welcome Ella Bella Weddings and Events to share their inspiration for the styled shoot.

The Death Will Not Part Us was born from the idea—a gothic, romantic take on commitment that embraces devotion beyond the boundaries of life itself. Taken from the well known phrase 'til death do us part', this shoot flips the script, defying their unbreakable bond and mortality. With dark aesthetics, vintage romance and hints of the supernatural.

Every element of this shoot was curated to evoke passion, mystery, and afterlife devotion.

- Dramatic florals that signify time and eternity.

- Stunning bespoke wedding outfits and accessories representing timeless romance.

- Moody décor, with antique gold accents, skull motifs for a storybook-meets-afterlife aesthetic.

- Vintage hair and make up to bring it all together.

- A gothic-inspired cake—a decadent work of art.

- With a celebrant led ceremony to create the personal touches.

Bringing this vision to life was an easy collaboration, from concept mood boards to seeing it all come together with an amazing team, that were an absolute joy to work with and I hope to work with again — pure magic.

For couples who dare to be different, this shoot is a reminder that love stories don’t have to fit a traditional mold. Whether it’s through bold fashion choices, unique venues, or deeply personal symbolism, weddings should reflect the couple’s story—whatever that may be.

The wedding industry is evolving, with more couples embracing authenticity over tradition. From intimate elopements to themed celebrations, weddings today are about breaking the rules to create something meaningful. My advice? Follow your heart—whether that means an unconventional outfit a themed celebration, or skipping traditions that just don’t resonate. Your wedding is your love story—tell it your way.
