D750, I hired out a f2.8 14-25mm Nikon lens, to see how much of the stairwell I could Fit in Manual HoldInspiration
I tend to hire out Margam Castle once a year for photo shoots, have seen many beautiful wide angle versions of the place but never managed to get that fabulous effect until hiring out a wide angle lens for the day. The dress was actually on loan by a designer who does a lot of work with the model.Editing
I did a lot of cleaning up, there was a lot of dirt on the carpet etc, used google chrome to provide a neutral density between the top and bottom, added a bit of warmth as well.In my camera bag

Definitely need a wide angle, fish eye to provide the atmosphere of the shot.. better to plan out this kind of shoot ahead of the day, that way you won't be disappointed. Don't be afraid to hire equipment, can work out a lot cheaper in the end if it's not equipment your going to use very often..
