So this week I am afraid I have some bad news. I had to say goodbye to one of my best friends at the beginning of this week and it has not been easy. I have spent everyday with her for the last year, waking up and saying hello to her, eating breakfast, lunch and…
It’s not often we feature engagement shoots but when we find one as fun as Olivia and Steve’s we feel it is our duty to share it with you. This couple certainly know how to make it personal as this photoshoot is a true reflection of their personalities and lives together. Here is what Olivia…
Can you believe it’s Sunday already?! I’m freaking out because I’m leaving for Glastonbury in 3 days and I literally haven’t sorted anything out! It’s the clothes I’m most worried about, trying to pack light for warm weather, hot weather, cold weather, rainy weather and mud is not done easily in my books! Luckily for…
Hands up if you feel comfortable letting a stranger photograph you? Hands up if you feel more comfortable letting a friend photograph you? My bets are that there were a hell of a lot more hands on the second question. When you’re comfortable it shows in your photos, and who wouldn’t want to look comfortable and…
Wow hasn’t the weather just been amazing this week! I know its a little old fashioned to start a conversation with a comment about the weather but it would be rude to ignore it surely? This week has been just a little bit exciting, as you know we met with the lovely Emily Fisher and…
It is no secret that I am in love with the natural world and am a keen conservationist. I believe in order to make a real difference in conservation we need to find alternatives. It would be no good heading out to the rainforest and demanding no more trees be cut down. At the end of…
Ahhhh. I have loved this week! It truly has been awesome! Especially the latter part of it when the sun was shining! Me and James decided we would celebrate my Birthday a little early by taking a day trip to Cheddar and had a picnic at the top of Jacob’s Ladder then continued on to…
**THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED** Do you have a large blank wall that you just don’t know what to do with? Maybe you have that one special photo that you would love to have put on a canvas? How about some art or a retro print on a wall mural, that would be perfect for…
**THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED** We have to admit we rarely talk about the groom or his groomsmen on Bespoke Bride and we promise we will try doing it more… There is no time like the present to start trying, so today we are talking about groomsmen gifts. It can be difficult to know what…
After such a beautiful start to the week I am a little disappointed that the weather has taken a turn for the worse this weekend but I’m thankful for even a couple of days of sun in the UK as it seems to be such a rarity. Today we are off to Bristol for a photo shoot…
I’m writing this in my tracksuit bottoms with a cup of tea thinking about what a week it has been! I’ve just come home from a wedding in Gloucester and what a wedding it was! I felt so privileged to photograph Laura and Mark’s wedding yesterday purely because I have known Laura all of my life, the…
Wow isn’t April just flying by!!! May begins next week and I feel (although still a tad nippy!) that spring is well and truly here. I’ve been spending lots of time outside this week enjoying the fresh air, the sun and trying my hand at gardening. The highlight of my week was my other half returning home…
Happy Sunday you lovely lot! What a lush weekend it has been, the sun actually came out for us! Everything is better when the sun is out! This week we’ve been prancing around by the daffodils, photographing interiors (more to come!) and doing a spot of cooking! What’s made you happy this week? Here’s…
When I heard that my friend Nicholas Parnell was getting into styling, I couldn’t have been more excited! In the many years that I’ve known him it’s clear that he’s always had a great eye for fashion, style and creating a look that stands out from the crowd which is exactly what we’re about here…
Welcome to the weekend! I’m not going to lie, I am slightly disappointed that the heatwave we were eagerly awaiting this weekend has been a complete wash out, instead I am cuddled up on the sofa under a blanket, roll on summer! For most of this weekend I have been visiting my family, I try to devote…
Happy Sunday!! Well that week went pretty darn fast didn’t it? I don’t know about you but I am still trying to resist the temptation to dive in to munching on all my Easter eggs, I had 5 in total, yes 5! How lucky am I! I am being a good girl however and just…
Thanks to the lovely Isabel While from Bridal Styling we’ve now got a couple of hair DIY’s to share with you! First up…How to create a plaited, beach style waves look! It’s super easy to do to! However, we do agree in saying that doing your own hair on the morning of your wedding could…
This week has been so much fun! We’ve been setting up hair tutorials, eating yummy tapas, having catch up cocktails with friends & even attended a hen tea party! This has however meant we have been out of the office a lot (slap wrist!) Just kidding…We still got all of our work done 😉 …
