I Captured Modern-Day Disney Princesses And Their Fairytale Life In Cambridge

Alexa, play ‘A whole new world’!

Often touted as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, the medieval buildings interspersed with glorious greens make Cambridge, a city in the United Kingdom, look right out of a fairy tale book.

And to go with the fairy tale theme, Melissa Ong (@minuteswithmel) and Luxna Srinivasan (@luxsuperrich) re-imagined Disney princesses as modern-day women living their best life in Cambridge.

“We hope for every woman to feel beautiful in her own skin, regardless of the color of her skin or her body shape.”

Therefore, the best friend duo put a spin on the traditional Disney princesses and dressed them according to today’s fashion and trends – to make them more relatable to girls today.

Boasting a world-class university, bookstores such as Cambridge University Press form the cornerstone of the Cambridge student life. Did someone say Belle loves books, too?

Cambridge is so instagrammable, there’s a flower wall along Trumpington street to brighten up your Instagram feeds. Be spoilt with photo opportunities as you traverse the beautiful streets of Cambridge.

Deemed as one of Britain’s greatest treasure houses, The Fitzwilliam Museum is a must-visit in Cambridge. You would have no heart to leave the hallways decked with exquisite artifacts till the clock strikes midnight.

Remember the Agrabah marketplace in Aladdin? Yes, Cambridge has its own version! Cambridge’s Market Square is much adored by locals and tourists–you can find anything from delicious pastries to woven baskets.

This hot Disney baddie is captured beautifully in front of one of the many bridges along River Cam. The gorgeous stone structure provides a stunning backdrop, making the photograph right out of a medieval fairy tale.

A trip to Cambridge would not be complete without a punting trip! Relax in style on your magical boat ride as you are treated to the weird and wonderful stories of Cambridge by your punting guide. Luxna, dressed as the modern-day Pocahontas, looks absolutely breathtaking against the luscious greens on the riverbanks of River Cam.

Luxna strikes a pose at Senate House Passage, a beautiful street featuring a beautiful amalgamation of wall indents with Moroccan arches and traditional English cast iron gas lamps.

The beautiful round church in Cambridge, reminiscent of the cottage in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, is captured beautifully by photographer Melissa.
