The snow might have made a return to the streets of London, but my mind is already wandering towards the spring, and what better way to feel warmer than share this bridal hair inspiration shoot. As you might know, I don’t participate in very many ‘styled shoots’, purely because my heart lies so firmly in photographing real couples. But sometimes, when the project feels right and ignites a flame of sorts, I do collaborate with talented friends.

One day last autumn we gathered at the gorgeous Fetcham Park in Surrey to photograph bridal hair styles created by Severin Hubert of the Hepburn Collection. Steph of Fairynuf Flowers was at hand to demonstrate how to transform each do with beautiful blooms, while Ana Ospina did the make-up and Minna provided the dresses.

I hope these images will give future brides some ideas. And I do think (or perhaps just really badly wish!) that this summer will be the summer of the flower crown.
