I have had an absolutely AMAZEBALLS few days. Seriously. Three days of shooting. A wonderful wedding which I second shot for Adele Haywood of Blue Lights Photography (gotta love a man in uniform), a ShutterRock shoot-up on the beautiful beach in Littlehampton (with some incredible first time models – I cannot WAIT to share that with you all) and then a breathtaking styled shoot day at Wiston House in West Sussex, a 16th century Grade I listed building surrounded by thousands of acres of magnificent parkland – perfect for the Jane Austen theme of the day. Obviously, I have hundreds of images form the three shoots and I am trying to choose my favourites to share here on the blog…but it is so HARD! Ugh. I have gone through the first scene of the Jane Austen shoot though. A beautiful bride taking afternoon tea with a classic novel in the orangery. Check it out…




Is it just me or does this lovely lady remind you of Natalie Portman? A little bit? Maybe? She is so very pretty!





I just loved the awesome vintage crockery, I must say. And I cannot even begin to tell you how tempted I was to indulge in some of the edible props. Crikey. It’s a good job lunch included a hefty portion of Eton Mess because otherwise I’m not so sure I’d have been able to hold back…




I’ll be posting more images from the day plus the other shoots over the coming weeks, but I wanted to get these up straight away and say a huge thank you to the organisers, vendors and the 40 strong team of photographers who made yesterday’s styled shoot such an incredibly lovely day to be a part of. I highly recommend you take a peek at the links below to find out more about the incredibly talented team that made it all possible. I really hope i get to work with them all again some time in the not too distant future!
