Firstly, thank you for visiting and congratulations if you’re newly engaged! I hope you find my blog posts inspirational for your big day. Please reach out to say hi and tell me your engagement story.
2018 was a busy year for me – it ended with an incredible shoot and one of my biggest business bucket list goals ticked off! I was asked to photograph the Lookbook for Brides magazine and it was everything as you’ll see…
The brains
The shoot was planned and co-ordinated by LAMP Productions, an incredible team that I’ve had the honour of working with before at this home marquee wedding. Anna, Lotte and the team produced a hugely creative and forward thinking set up.
The venue
Nestled in south London, the Horniman Museum & Gardens provided the perfect backdrop for this shoot. The setting, a Victorian conservatory with some serious wow factor. I was familiar with the venue having photographed this White wedding there a couple of years ago which was also featured in Brides magazine.
Shortly after the shoot, Pantone announced that the Pantone Colour of the Year for 2019 is Living Coral. LAMP Productions are ahead of the curve as always!
The shoot concept was to produce a luxurious weddingscape using local suppliers with considered sustainability by using design elements that could be used again.
