Floristry On the Wild Side | A floral design workshop

Floristry On the Wild Side | A floral design workshop

Floral Design: Bringing the beauty of nature indoors is for everyone.

Floral design which is wild and unstructured is a growing trend – for weddings, events, or just for pleasure. And I have to say I am most excited about that! I am so in love with this style of floral design that I contacted Charlie Ryrie to visit her Cut Flower Garden in West Dorset, where I heard a little of her story as one of the pioneers of this movement over a decade ago.

Naturally then I was delighted when she invited me to document her Spring 2017 workshop Floristry on the Wild Side.  I captured the stunning arrangements of her pupils with both my digital and beloved film cameras.  Frankly it is much harder than it looks to go wild.  I also took the opportunity to photograph her amazing garden and grounds – which I will share later.

Charlie has more courses coming up this summer, do check them out here.

My images from this workshop – together with some inspiring words from Charlie – was featured by The Natural Wedding Company on their blog for stylish, eco-conscious couples.

Love Is Enough | Branding Editorial

Love Is Enough | Branding Editorial

English interiors, poetry and art.

Celebrating English interiors, literature, art and architecture, this branding editorial is shot in film for its luxurious tones.  Fine English poetry mingles with exquisite oil paintings.  Elegant Georgian interiors display modern and European influences. A candle is lit, a glass is poured, and the Pre-Raphaelite verse is opened as she waits faithfully – for love is enough.

LOVE is enough: though the World be a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,
Though the sky be too dark for dim eyes to discover
The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder,
Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder,
And this day draw a veil over all deeds pass’d over,
Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter;
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.

– William Morris
