It's only been a few months since Charlotte and Daniel's December wedding, but it feels like many more moons ago when we could all gather together and enjoy a beautiful wedding. It's been a tragic few weeks but don't worry I'm not here to talk about the C word, I think we've all had enough virus chat and worry in our lives lately. I think instead it's a great time to remember what we have to look forward to in the future by binging on some serious wedding inspo, and this gallery will certainly do the trick! Looking back on these shots by the fantastic Katy Melling you can really get a sense of the festive...

It's great to come back from all the fashion week madness, have a few cups of tea at home and a snuggle with my cat whilst I catch up life and check in on my latest bits of work that have been published.  Just before I set off I got the chance to work with the critically acclaimed jewellery brand Ruby & Oscar in conjunction with Belle Bridal for their latest wedding range. Their contemporary men's and women's ranges especially designed for the bride, groom and their respective parties are tasteful modern pieces still in keeping with traditional wedding style to give your big day an extra...

It was a total privilege to be working again this season for truly one of my all time favourite designers Erdem on one of my favourites shows so far for their AW 2020/2021 collection. On a team of super talented artists working under Lynsey Alexander we brought the designers vision to life using Nars Cosmetics. Backstage was full of moments of beauty and laughter all captured in these shots by Jamie Stoker for Vogue Italia. Bold stripes, florals and wallpaper prints were adorned upon long skirts, shift jackets, frills and puffed sleeves. Feminine and elegant in perfectly tailored yet exaggerated...

In a sea of bright and fanciful wedding photography that is gorgeous in its own right, Nigel John brings to life a different energy in his images. Having worked with him in 2019 twice for the weddings of two gorgeous brides I got the opportunity to see him work his magic and the mesmerising images that were produced after the fact. There is such a deep and earthy feel to what he captures that really feels as if you are in a poignant moment with his subjects when you're viewing them. Just a quick scroll through his Instagram is enough to make you instantly fall in love with his work. There were...

This one is a bit of an oldie but a goodie, throwing it back to 2018 at Saltmarshe Hall with major UK Bridal fashion houses Grace Phillips, Ian Stuart & House of Mooshki for the Belle Bridal Magazine editorial Love in Bloom. The concept behind it was to marry bridal and mother of the bride stylings with a strong 1950's vibe and a specific nod to the imitable Jackie O for the mother of the bride looks. The shoot brought classic clean styles with a touch of personality and sass together in an airy minimal setting. Meanwhilst flowery blooms brought a summery punch of colour alongside the statement...

After finishing another show season earlier this year I landed back in the UK reeling with inspiration and excitement. Luckily for me that coincided with an opportunity to work with some new make-up I'd yet to try. I teamed up with coveted photographer Lee Scullion to put brush to skin and dip into my creative energy with a handful of new Shiseido products. We wanted to create a photo set with japanese influences full of spirit that captured the essence of the moment with a warm and soft focus on the eyes as the windows to the soul. Beauty Modé is the crossroads where spirituality meets cosmetic...
