What else would we be doing on a slightly sunny March morning but carrying large pots full of beautiful plants as we dress the set for a super collaborative photo shoot!
Georgina & Beth directing Jamie...this photoshoot malarky can be such hard work!
Not sure what my hair is doing...I have been moving plants!
Brought together by Gilly Page & Bethany Stanley we converged on the beautiful setting of Lees Farm for a wild woodland inspired shoot out in the stunning Shropshire countryside. We were hosted by the fabulous Emma Cantillion from The Barn at Lees farm, new luxury accommodation nestled in the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, yes really!
Outside the yurt......saving the wonders of the inside for the full shoot pics...You'll just have to wait!
The week before saw some late evenings as I played with ideas for the shoot and our gown, created especially to compliment Gillys' flower crown and the woodland setting....
Considering initial ideas on the stand
Adding the detailing to the front of the bodice.
Quite pleased with my efforts, I am sure you will agree!
I love this lace with its Cameo style edging.
Excited about the extra tulle pieces in the train to add a free, boho feel to the back of the gown.
And here is Tor in the finished gown...Our models for the day were the fab Tor & Jack, super fun and perfect for the day.....and yes, we were joined by a horse!
Gilly Pages's wonderful floral creation adds the finishing touch to the lovely Victoria's gown for the day. I just love these beautiful; pastel colours, the perfect Summer combination.
Very proud of my carefully arranged wood pile...I am taking the credit for that!
Sneak peek of Jack & Tor inside the Yurt.
Once the set was all dressed it was time to introduce the additional models for the day...
Tor & Jack meet the Horse model for the first time! Isn't he lovely!
Bethany & Jamie start shooting
Much more interested in the stick than all the excitement going on around.
The idyllic setting all dressed & ready for the day.
Trish from Cameo Creative Stationary & George wait on the sidelines..... snug as a bug in a rug...literally!
Having fun with Strawberries!
Tor looking beautiful in our bespoke gown in Champagne & Ivory silk, lace & tulle with Gilly Pages Flower Crown.
We are really excited to see the final imagery from Bethany Stanley Photography and I will share this with you all as soon as I can.
A great day had by all and it was fab to work with such wonderful people.
