This amazing photo shoot was testament to how friendly collaboration can truly work at its best. Through a combined network of like-minded talented connections, a fabulous ensemble came together from the moment Jacqui put her initial shout out. Within a week all the suppliers were on board, brimming with inspiration and eager to get creative! With images of a romantic, bohemian, musically themed shoot featuring an adorable poetic couple, Stephanie’s folksy style and thoughtfully curated dresses provided the stylistic inspiration as the contributors quickly came together.
With Zoey’s exceptional eye for styling, Kate’s fabulous flowers, Laura’s spectacular cakes, and Natalie’s sophisticated stationery our stunning couple Molly and Andy joined us at the Parsonage in Didsbury to dress up and get creative!
The evocative garden surroundings of the historic Parsonage provided the perfect backdrop to intimately capture Andy and Molly as they ambled and serenaded one another amongst the trees.
With her sultry brown eyes enhanced by deep copper tones and flawless natural makeup from Jacqui Scanlan, Molly exuded her free-spirited charm in a stunning handcrafted vintage style dress from Wilderness Bride, inspired by nature and perfectly accompanied by the elegant ethereal floral arrangements from Perfect Bouquet Full Of Flowers, with rustic ribbon adornment from Silk and Purl.
Complementing the fabulous occasion was the vibrant jewel-like macaroons and stunning hand painted cake from Sugar Fancies as well as the elegant stationery from the very talented Jellypress.
As the photographer, I thought the entire shoot was an absolute dream. A particular highlight for me was being able to get in close and capture the finer details of Molly’s dress, hair and makeup. I loved everything about this shoot – the setting was perfect, the makeup divine, the flowers and overall styling were flawless – but the collaboration will be the lasting memory for me. Creative suppliers working together to realise a vision, almost effortlessly.
The parsonage in Didsbury, Manchester is an absolutely gorgeous hidden gem in the heart of the city and with its secluded, almost secret, walled garden it became the backdrop for our cool, bohemian, musical themed styled shoot.
