A few weeks ago, in the middle of a busy wedding season.. I gathered some creative friends for a mini floral photo shoot at one of my favourite wedding venues ~ Langley Abbey, England. The backdrop of this 12th century building was perfect for my floral designs,mixing the faded gothic beauty of the Abbey with florals of an old Dutch painting… I began.
Steering away from a ‘typical’ bridal shoot, I wanted the photographs to have a sense of history to them. Amy’s striking looks are perfect.. Love this girl!
Flowers were chosen from my garden | locally & at market.
I didn’t have to search far for the photographer .. Camilla Felgate being the obvious choice, I have worked with Camilla on shoots & wedding’s .. We know each others styles..
… But I have to say I was blown away with some of these images.
Vines & moss decorated the Abbey’s walls..
Flamingo Amy joined us to do the make up for our models.. I adore this lip colour! And worked alongside me on the hair / flowers.
Delicate florals, antique urns & ancient walls…
The vast walls of this Abbey offer interesting nooks & ledges to add floral arrangements…
As well as larger scale table designs.. On banquet tables..
Flamingo Amy’s beautiful braids entwined with flowers..
Thankyou to all involved in this shoot
