I quite like the Union Jack. I am fond of both ornate and simple, and often juxtapose the two. And, I love detail. This shoot gave me the opportunity to combine all of this. When Amy, of Ames Photography, and I started talking about a bridal shoot, we tossed around some subtle accent colours like blush, champagne and grey. Then, my faded little Union Jack flag caught my eye, and we decided to throw neutrals to the wind and play with that classic combination. We invited some of our favourite local vendors to be a part of the fun, and Missy, of Sweet Little Sentiments, created beautiful invitations and detailed stationary. Hattie, of Hattitude Jewellery, lent us a set of her gorgeous, hand-crafted jewellery. Jennifer, of Zandy Cakes, caught our vision and delivered a cake and cupcakes that were beautifully British. Toby, of Petals of Love, gave us all the baby’s breath we could ever want. Isabel, of Retreat Salon, spun Anny’s hair into a completely classy up-do. Jonathan, a childhood friend, popped by and let us play with his perfect Mini Cooper. And of course, Anny and Rob, who have been married for 10 years, stole the show. I had the very great privilege of styling the shoot, and providing the furniture, props, costumes and the little touches to pull it off. After all, I do love detail.
