Pretty in Pastel: multiway dresses at Enys Gardens

September 25, 2017 · 1 Comment

In August, I had the pleasure of photographing gorgeous dresses on four gorgeous girls in an equally gorgeous setting. While this was a commercial shoot, the likes of which usually live on my commercial site, I felt that the style and theme of this shoot suited this blog much better. Wouldn’t you agree?

These amazing Lavalia multiway dresses come in a rainbow of gorgeous colours and they are perfect for having bridesmaids in one colour or shade but allowing them to tie the dress in their own style! For this shoot, we chose pretty pastel shades that looked amazing in the beautiful setting of Enys Garden. We even managed to catch some sunshine, which has been eluding us most of the summer!

Thank you to the whole team for making this one of the prettiest shoots I’ve ever done! xo

Brand Portraits for Creatives in Cornwall

September 15, 2017 · 2 Comments

Carrie runs Jewelbox Cornwall, a small creative business where she hand paints beautiful frames for people’s heirlooms. It was a joy to take some brand portraits for her new website, even if we were experiencing the strongest winds Cornwall had seen in a while, which made our trip to the beach a literal whirlwind!

Aynhoe Park Wedding Photography

It was such a pleasure to get to return to Aynhoe Park for another beautiful and unique wedding day. The summer weather was showing its best, and the grounds of this beautiful venue transformed into a wonderland with cocktails on the lawn and deer coming up to see what was happening. There were out-of-this-world-beautiful floral arrangements, flamingoes, unicorns and plenty of laughter. Thank you once again Aynhoe for providing such a perfect backdrop for celebrating love!

Cliffside Engagement Session in Cornwall

July 26, 2017 · 4 Comments

Technically, Courtney & Arron are already married, but because of the timing of their nuptials, they didn’t have an opportunity to arrange a proper wedding party until now. While the ceremony on the day will be called a Vow Renewal, the day is most definitely a genuine wedding day for them and their family. They even travelled down to Cornwall for their engagement session, which I couldn’t have been happier about!

These two are possibly the sweetest couple I’ve ever had the pleasure of spending time with, and I can’t wait for their London wedding day in just a few weeks!

Countryside Summer Wedding at Soho Farmhouse

June 26, 2017 · 9 Comments

It felt like such a long time since Anne & Archie’s London engagement session, but when their beautiful countryside wedding day at Soho Farmhouse finally arrived it was certainly worth the wait! The day started in such an idyllic setting, with the girls getting ready at the cutest cabin where Gemma Sutton was in charge of hair & makeup. When Anne got into her exquisite Mira Zwillinger wedding gown and put on her Aquazzura wedding shoes, there was not a dry eye in the room!

A horse-drawn carriage took the bridesmaids to the ceremony before returning with Anne’s father on board to fetch her. The perfect summer day added to the atmosphere of the most picturesque day in the country.

The reception, organised and catered by Soho Farmhouse, continued the summery theme. Anne’s home country of Norway was incorporated into the look of the floral decorations and the traditions (such as getting the bride & groom to stand on a table and kiss at the clink of a glass!), making the whole event feel like a real life midsummer’s dream. I have to also give a shout out to The London Essentials, who were truly amazing, entertaining the guests with their music in their own energetic interactive way. Definitely a hit with the crowd!

It was such a pleasure to be there to photograph this gorgeous day, thank you so much for having us, Anne & Archie! Wishing you all the sunshine for your future! xo
