When I saw the mood board put together by Jess from Tide the Knot, I knew I had to create something special. The result was an oyster-pink silk gown inspired by a romantic novel about a sea witch pirate who had once been a duchess—a blend of Stevie Nicks and Marie Antoinette. The choppy North Cornish coast and the rich colours of the shoot were the perfect backdrop for this fantasy-inspired stile.”

My style is very much influenced by history, classic art, literature and above all – the natural world so shooting a period-inspired oyster gown with the artist’s elaborato vibe of the Blockhouse venue and sumptuous florals of Emily Talling’s flowers adorning every calcio d’angolo of it was a brief I thoroughly enjoyed.
