Matt & Sarah...an Engagement Shoot

I had such a lovely time last week styling this gorgeous engagement shoot for Matt & Sarah, who have to be  one of the most relaxed, fun and thoughtful couples I have ever met. I am so looking forward to styling their wedding in April! We spent the evening in the grounds of a lovely hotel in Cromford and also at a gorgeous bookshop for the rest of the shoot. We were joined by the lovely Rachael Connerton and her equally lovely husband Ian who captured some amazing images that you will be able to see in a few weeks! But I couldn't resist giving you a little sneak peek from my camera of some of the details in the meantime! Matt & Sarah love all things vintage, travel, books and music...the perfect clients!! I set up a cute little lace tent and added lots of vintage details and gorgeous pink and peach florals for a perfect summer evening.

Hope you've enjoyed! Look out for Rachaels images soon!x

John & Emily...polka dots and teepee's!

I had a lovely time at the beginning of the summer styling this engagement shoot for John and Emily...such a cute couple! The gorgeous pictures were taken by the amazing Jade Alana...what can I say...always incredible! I created a setting to reflect their upcoming wedding style...lovely pinks and mauves, polka dots, mason jars, country style flowers...and of course a polka dot teepee!! I couldn't resist! Hope you enjoy!

Andy & Lucinda...a wedding full of memories..

It was lovely to take a trip down somebody else's 'memory lane' at this weekends wedding! Andy & Lucinda married at Norbury Church in Derbyshire and followed with a reception at Smallwood Manor, Lucinda's childhood prep school. It was lovely to hear guests stories of days spent at the school and watch them find their names on the plaques on the walls! It was such a personal day for everybody and a privilege to be part of. 

My lovely daughter Meganne came along to assist me and took all these photos. I think she did a great job!

Andy & Lucinda chose a very rustic, vintage style for their day whilst still making the most of the school surroundings and theme...beautiful solid wood dining tables and benches, blackboard table names of classes, lots of natural moss and candles, herb favours for guests and centrepieces of mason jars filled with vintage tone roses, astilbe and herbs. I made gorgeous linen table runners which added a lovely natural base for their table design.

I decorated the cake in the same rustic vintage style...

Guests could leave messages for the bride and groom using this amazing vintage typewriter!

I handmade this personalized wedding sign for Andy & Lucinda and it turned out great! I make these to order so if you are interested in having one for your special day just give me a call!

I wish Andy & Lucinda all the best for their future together! Thanks for stopping by!
