This week's blog is something super fun, it's so cool to look back over at the final product now it's been released. Recently I joined the team over at END. for a shoot paying homage to the phoenix-like resurgence of the OG Nike Dunk throughout 2020.
They've opted to use a yearbook style format to cast each pair in a manner that emulates the varisty nostalgia they so deserve as the 'Class of 2020'. After all 35 years in the making this franchise is still going from strength to strength continuing its legacy and the rich culture behind them. For me my task was to work along side the production...
After a suprise proposal at Middleton Lodge it was only right that on 12th of July 2019 Helen and Jo returned for their fabulous wedding reception after a traditional church ceremony at the nearby St Michael & All Angels in Middleton Tyas. These pictures by MIKI Photo + Film Studio really capture the essence of the exact day they wanted, a relaxed but elegant and traditional british summer wedding with minimalistic yet sophisticated decor using a white palette with hints of orange and fuschia florals.
For Helen's make-up we wanted a timeless glam that complimented the gorgeous styling...
Whilst keeping inspired looking back on last years weddings and reminding myself of the beautiful days to come again, photographer Jo Bradbury was kind enough to share with me some of the beautiful shots she took from Faye and Adam's big day in 2019.
If you're looking for some serious floral envy and inspiration you're in for a treat with this one. With cottage garden blooms adorning every chair, stairway, door and tabletop as well as the gorgeous hair pieces and bouquets you will get your botanical fix from this wedding. The arrangements all by Picked At Dawn perfectly complimented the natural...
A Virtual Photoshoot
During this uncertain time in our lives amidst a global pandemic, we've all got to make adjustments to the way we live and finding our new normal modern lives of 2020. Teaming up with good friend and killer photographer Malorie Shmyr we decided to embark on a new exciting concept for both of us, a virtual photoshoot over facetime. My mind has been working overtime with possibilities, so sitting down and taking time actually get creative was super exciting, and a relief express myself artistically and take a break from all the bad news.
Wanting an organic and raw shoot...
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 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...
Hot of the press it's the latest editorial in issue 11 of rakesprogress magazine, a modern publication on a mission to showcase the glory of mother nature. It's an undeniable truth that it is good for all of us to take a little time to connect with the great outdoors and rakesprogress inspires just that. From striking editorials to helpful guides on all things green fingered, it's a beautiful way to bridge the gap between the natural and media worlds.
For this shoot by the incredible Asia Werbel featuring Mulberry pieces you can expect a selection of stylised film images of portraits...

It's avantgarde fashion made for the trailblazers and speedracers of tomorrow.
To match this aesthetic I created luxurious...
If you cast your minds back to the end of July this year you might remember that crazy heatwave we had here in Europe. The weather was stunning and I was lucky enough to experience all that sunshine in a truly breathtaking setting in France at the Chateau Challain thanks to a shoot for Belle Bridal Magazine. Although it was beautiful the weather brought it's challenges and you can catch my blog post of behind the scenes with the star products I used to combat the extreme heat here, from making sure things stay put with any sweating to protection from the UV rays!
Today I am here to share with...
Once again that wonderful time of year for Spring Summer Fashion Weeks has come and gone and I have made it through all the beauty and busyness to share some of it with you. Here's a look back stage working for one of my favourite designers Erdem, presenting their new 2020 Spring/Summer collection at Grays Inn Gardens for London Fashion Week. The gorgeous show displayed bursts of bright floral prints on ankle length gowns paired with wide brimmed hats that brought together a chic victoriana vibe.
As always it was my pleasure to be part of the team for the legendary Val Garland for the day,...
