Faith and I dreamt up this beautiful woodland elopement inspiration shoot while drinking tea in an East London cafe. We decided to create a romantic woodland shoot to showcase some beautiful pieces from local UK designers in a stunning forest setting in London. Faith’s ‘Florence’ dress from her brand new label: She Walks In Beauty, is a gorgeous gown made from champagne and ivory silk satin, with an embellished tulle overlay. Kelly’s stunning woodland inspired gold head pieces perfectly compliment the whimsical, elegant feel of this woodland elopement. Lauren’s cakes, Sarah’s flowers, Caroline’s stationery & Elle Au Naturel’s hair & makeup all combined so perfectly to complete the looks.

I love how this shoot came together with an amazing team of talented women including Kelly Spence winner of the national award for Best Accessory Designer in the United Kingdom at the Wedding Industry Awards 2015 (congratulations Kelly!).
