On a crisp January morning, Terri from Summer Lily Studio and myself put together a little wintery styled shoot in Terri's back garden. Now Terri's garden is by no means just any back garden, its HUGE and backs onto rolling countryside - the perfect setting! We invited along some suppliers and fellow photographers to join us on the day and make it a special one!

Nicola and Jay were our gorgeous bride and groom for the day, who are actually due to marry next year! Despite the bitter cold, and even a downpour of snow in the morning, the couple were all smiles and laughter! They were great sports and we are all truly grateful for them taking the time out of their day to mess around with us!

We had some fantastic suppliers involved on the day, from flowers to vintage props, please check out their websites in the links below!

Flowers - Stephanie Rose

Hair and Make Up - Belle's Beauty

Styling and Props - The White Emporium

Cake - Maisie Cakes

Light Up Love Letters - Summer Love Lights

They all did an incredible job and really made the whole look of the day come together!

We had two looks for the couple on the day, the first was a traditional and elegant winter look with peach detailing. Nicola's hair was styled in a twisted up-do with natural makeup and she wore a stunning pure white chiffon dress. Jay wore a very dapper grey check suit set off with a peach bowtie. 

The second was a more relaxed and playful look that saw Nicola's blonde curls set free and topped with a beautiful flower crown. Jay swapped his suit jacket for a waistcoat and donned a stunning mustard bowtie which I LOVED! The sun even came out during some of these photos which really suited the look we were going for. Also, check out the amazing giant light up Love Letters at the end, aren't they amazing?!

The day was even better than we imagined and we made some great friends and contacts for the future. Can't wait for the next styled shoot now! Did somebody say Summer? ;) xxx
