The city of Paris holds many happy memories for Jen and Jamie so they decided that this would be the best place for us to explore in their engagement pictures. I knew it would be a brilliant day when a parrot landed on Jenny’s head and they just worked it into a shot – such pros! Jamie being a whizz-kid graphic designer and Jen a very talented textiles artist (Jen Rowland), I cannot wait to see their colourful wedding vision realised this August. Thank you guys for a most memorable day in Paris x

  • John Pring - Beautiful pictures, but don’t understand why you didn’t take them in Market Road. Surely far more beautiful than Montmartre. And I am bemused by the absence of pigeons. How was it possible to take so many Paris pictures with no pigeons in sight?ReplyCancel

  • Alexander Leaman - Lovely set of pictures, consistently charming top to bottom. There’s real personality here and a great setting. They must be brimming with excitement anticipating their wedding pictures… Trés Bon!ReplyCancel

Claire Pettibone’s dresses have always captured my imagination. They are soft, light and ethereal often inspired by nature with unusual laces, romantic flowers, embroidered embellishments and pretty jewels. To me, her gowns bring to mind the stuff of British folklore; Victorian faery paintings, Shakespeare, John Keats, Lord Alfred Tennyson and I wanted to somehow capture this in a shoot.

“I met a lady in the meads, Full beautiful—a faery’s child, Her hair was long, her foot was light, And her eyes were wild.”  – La Belle Dame Sans Merci, John Keats.

“The bluebell wood is an extremely hazardous place to be – a place of faerie-woven spells and enchantments” – Faeries (an illustrated examination of the myths & legends of Faeries), Brain Froud & Alan Lee.

I met Lily a year or so ago through a mutual friend. I was struck by her faerie-like features and tumbling auburn hair so was thrilled to have her model for the project. Adjhani Barton did a great job in keeping her hair and makeup simple, natural and luminous.

LK Lily created floral pieces on site in order to incorporate pieces of flora she had gathered from the woodland floor. She sourced orchids with spotty toadstool patterns, created a beautiful mushroom laced hair garland and an enchanted woodland swing.

The jewellery was sourced from Rachel Helen Design’s collection, The Juniper Tree which, “recycles forgotten treasures of broken and unloved jewellery, inspired by a love of nature and the dark side of fairy tales”.

Special thanks to John and Susan for letting us loose on your enchanted land!

Katie and Ed are such a warm and welcoming couple, it was a real honour to be part of their big day. We shot their engagement session in the beautiful English countryside earlier this Spring and their wedding to follow was very much a London thing. An intimate ceremony at St Boltophs Church where their baby daughter was christened followed by a 40’s inspired knees up at The Britannia pub, Victoria Park. There was a dressing up box, much silliness and a few familiar faces… Thank you Katie and Ed for being you x
