A Shropshire Wedding

Hadar and Matthew"s fairy tale marriage celebrations at Upton Cressett Hall.

The smiles, the love, the joy of friends and family made their day completely magical. Thank you to this beautiful couple for allowing me to share a few of their special moments. I am sure you will join me in wishing them a long and happy life together.

I took both observational photographs as well as having a few quiet moments with the couple. How would you like your wedding photographed?

A Shropshire Wedding
🤍
Hadar and Matthew travelled from France for their Shropshire wedding. Dual faith marriage celebrations, with guests gathered from across the globe were joined together in this idyllic and enchanting venue. In an environment of pure joy, this deeply romantic couple were surrounded by an abundance of love and admiration as family and friends all helped to make their day a dream come true. It was truly an honour to witness such happiness and beauty.
💐
At the last minute my colleague who was due to be videoing the day was taken ill, very kindly, Amelia Hart stepped in to take some jaw-droppingly gorgeous shots. Thank you Amelia!

Thank you to John Laurence Pedrick Music for the use of his dreamy track “Starlight”.

Ellen in the bluebell woods
🌿
Ellen (on instagram) is an extremely talented author and illustrator but somewhat shy in front of the camera. I was recently asked to help her take an author picture for her or her upcoming graphic novel, “Unreal”. The novel includes a fantasy world in an imaginary forest where Ellen would escape as a child to adventure in the dense foliage and winding trees.
It turned out our limited timeframe arrived on one of those beautiful April days with sunshine, shadows and a light breeze. So off to the woods we went. Ellen warned me she might be a “tricky” subject, and initially she was, see the first photograph of her looking terrified at the camera. After I suggested she take a moment and listen to the birds, showed her the results of the first few test shots I took, she soon relaxed and we continued the afternoon having a joyful tiptoe through the bluebells, (taking care not to harm any). See if you can catch a sight of her fabulous shoes, they might give you an idea of one of her early inspirations. Let me know if you can work that out. We also met a friendly puppy in the woods, popped into a curve of a rapeseed oil field and came out smiling.
I’m not sure if she will use any of these pictures, or if she will choose her selfie, I’ll find out when the book is published I guess.
Do you have a favourite shot?

Bouquets and Portraits

We all had a most joy-filled afternoon with Sarah of Severn Valley Flowers at her cutting garden in the extremely beautiful Shropshire countryside. It couldn’t have been a sunnier, happier afternoon, filled with more than a few of our favourite things.

I was happy to observe the concentration of the participants cutting flowers, making bouquets and then finished with some quick portraits to show off those wonderful bouquets. I think they did rather well, don't you?

Thank you to John Laurence Pedrick Music for the use of his music, “Bonny”.

Sarah’s workshops are always fun, and this one will have flower photography instructions too.
We are very pleased to add an extra workshop date in July.

Great to see Sarah Pitt of Severn Valley Flowers featured for her work with sustainable floristry for Farewell Flowers. I love seeing her passion for creating floral pieces with the environment in mind. I loved our recent photoshoot too!

Great to see some local publicity for us! I’ll be on the Farewell Flowers stand on Saturday talking to the public about the beauty of funeral flowers . Come and see us if you’re visiting 💛
