Halloween Bride in the cornfield

October 30, 2017 · 5 Comments

Happy Halloween! Here’s something in equal measures spooky and cute (I don’t really do scary and grim :D) for you. Lucie, whom I work with regularly, has been pleading for us to do a Halloween-themed shoot for ages, and finally, I relented! My only wish was that we’d keep things on the pretty side, and that’s where make-up artist Abi Murray came in. She created this gorgeous pink toned candy skull make-up for Lucie, which played on the theme beautifully without being too gruesome.

Whether you love Halloween or not, I hope you’ll enjoy this candy skull bride in her cornfield kingdom!

St Pancras Renaissance Wedding Photography

October 9, 2017 · 14 Comments

I’m so late blogging this London vow renewal and wedding celebration! I don’t quite know how the summer is already in the rearview mirror and we’re heading straight into winter. It feels like only yesterday when we gathered at St Mary Abbots for a beautiful ceremony and, afterwards, hopped onto a Routemaster that took us to St Pancras Renaissance Hotel for the Wedding Breakfast and evening celebration.

There were beautiful flowers by Lavender Green Flowers, a gorgeous cake by Abigail Bloom Cake Company, and of course the stunning Courtney, who looked amazing in her customised Amanda Wyatt gown and Emmy London shoes. Jess from St Pancras Renaissance Hotel was in charge of catering, and it was so lovely to have a mini reunion with some of my favourite vendors, the Wedding Smashers who got everyone on the dancefloor, and Gorgeous Films, who were there to capture the day on video.

Ever since their engagement shoot in Cornwall, I knew that their day would be something special, and I wasn’t wrong! Thank you so much for letting me play my little part in everything! xo

Family Session by the sea in Cornwall

October 2, 2017 · 1 Comment

We had to postpone the Michell Family photo shoot in Cornwall multiple times as it just would not stop raining! But eventually, we decided to just go for it and the sun agreed and came out in all its glory! The North Cornish coast was the perfect backdrop to capturing beautiful moments for this young family, and I enjoyed every minute of our time together!

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!
