  • Photo Shoot in You & Your Wedding

    Monday, August 1st, 2011

    Posted in Wedding Press , Wedding Styling

    Earlier this year I met with the lovely Chanelle from Segerius-Bruce to discuss an idea I had for a photo shoot. This was my first styled shoot, and I was being fairly ambitious with what I wanted to achieve – it had to be heavily detail-oriented, incorporate two different styles within the main vintage theme, include an outdoors element and provide brides with inspiration that was realistically achievable for their own wedding design. No pressure there then!

    It was clear from my meeting with Chanelle that she was on board with my ideas from the word go, and in back in May, after several weeks of careful planning, I headed off to the George in Rye with a fabulous team of suppliers to bring my design to life. And here are the results, spread over 8 pages in the latest issue of You & Your Wedding magazine!

    I’m absolutely over the moon to see one of my weddings from last year featured in the January/February issue of Your London Wedding magazine . Katherine and Nic’s wedding in May was the first of the 2010 season, and after a rather dreary start to the year we were lucky enough to enjoy a beautiful warm and sunny spring day. You can read the article in full here ; also check out the portfolio gallery for more images and to see what Katherine and Nic had to say about their special day.
