Vintage light bulbs, weddings & dining ‘al fresco’

We love to see how you’re using our stuff and with the wedding season fast approaching we thought we’d showcase how wedding photographers get creative with our vintage light bulbs.

Our vintage light bulbs come in different shapes, sizes and filament styles; our most popular seller is the pear-shaped vintage light bulb with squirrel cage filament. These are gorgeous filament bulbs, also known as Edison bulbs, which give off a beautifully atmospheric and romantic light. We can see why they’re so popular with wedding photographers.

The warm ambient light given off by our vintage light bulbs is perfect for creating just the right mood as the sun goes down and the festivities begin. The soft light is very flattering on all skin tones and gives everyone that healthy, happy glow. Great for your wedding pics!

Vintage light bulbs also look amazing, so you can make lighting an integral a feature of your wedding décor and photographs, rather than an afterthought.

Filament bulbs – moody industrial lighting for an unusual indoor wedding shoot

These amazingly moody and atmospheric wedding shots were taken by Paul Joseph Photography. By their own admission: “We are massive fans of anything urban, industrial, old. We love cars, films and light.”

They wanted to create a wedding shoot with a difference and inspired by the film Drive starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan they set to work on their unusual industrial warehouse set. We think they smashed it!
