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!

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

Autumnal bridal inspiration shoot by the ocean

October 10, 2016 · 20 Comments

The original concept for this shoot might have started as something completely different and the circumstances, the weather, and the tide might have been against us, but in the end, I think this is where we were meant to end up. These were the images that we were supposed to create. The wind, the rugged Cornish coast, the modern bridal vibe, it all came together perfectly. I guess sometimes you just have to let go, enjoy the journey, and trust that it all works out!

It was such a pleasure to work with such an amazing team, and I fell head over heels in love with this separates gown by Ailsa Munro and the wildly perfect flowers by This Rugged Coast. I hope you enjoy looking at these windswept images as much as I enjoyed shooting them!

A Rustic autumnal charcuterie table

September 22, 2016 · 9 Comments

Now that autumn is most definitely in the air, I feel it’s appropriate to share this gorgeous charcuterie setup from our inspiration shoot with Hannah Berry Flowers and Kalm Kitchen at Millbridge Court. Autumn is generally not my favourite time of time of year, so I love anything that makes you feel like the crisp air and rustic colours are exactly what the doctor ordered, and I think this shoot delivers on that front! So, wrap up warm, scroll down and feast your eyes on all the yumminess!

Inspiration shoot : The pink doughnut wall of perfection

June 3, 2016 · 5 Comments

Happy Doughnut Day!

This might have been my favourite part of our inspiration shoot with Hannah Berry Flowers and Kalm Kitchen at Millbridge Court. I think you’ll agree that there are few things more delicious than an actual wall of doughnuts, and a pink one at that, too! I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing the scent was while shooting, such sweet torture (quite literally)!

I hope these cheerful doughnuts bring a bit of joy to your day, enjoy!
