Bath Weddings

Regular readers will know that we are big fans of florist Jo Shipp of "Passion". When shooting a wedding in Bristol or Bath, it is always incredibly reassuring to see Jo and her fab team dressing the ceremony or reception room. Now Jo also has a high street presence at The Loft in Bartlett Street, Bath, which opened on the 1st February - all very exciting and just wanted to wish Jo luck with this new venture - it looks great and I am sure will be hugely successful.

Today I am mostly learning how to use my Mac properly...

Passion & All Things Flower

Enjoyed a fab visit to Jo Shipp yesterday, who is the owner / creative force behind 'Flowers by Passion' - if you haven't come across the name, look in "Hello" or "Cosmo" magazine, as her work is often profiled. I've known Jo for about five or six years now - we're recommended at some of the same venues and it is always a huge pleasure to bump into Jo at a wedding. Its not just that the flowers will be fresh and top quality - and when I'm shooting still life's for the bride its really important that the flowers are perfect - its the creativity too. Jo has a wealth of props: vases, candelabras and all sorts to set the flowers perfectly and create looks that are unique. I always aim to bring a little extra to my wedding commissions and I know Jo is just the same when it comes to the floral artistry.

Jo is now based in Swainswick in Bath, in a wonderfully rural location. If you are planning your wedding and want the flowers to be a bit more special than the usual, then do give her a call or click on the link above.

Wedding Flowers

Had a great shoot today, producing a selection of flower images for Frances at Flowercube. Frances is such a talented florist - we met originally at a wedding at Kingscote Barn in Tetbury (lovely venue and fab people!) and started talking. Anyway, long story short, we work together every now and again, producing images for the local lifestyle magazines - always great fun and always a buzz to see my images published! I can't show you pictures from today's shoot yet, but the attached is one of the images from a summer 'picnic-theme' shoot. Capturing gorgeous flower shots is always part of our wedding coverage, so do ask if you would like to see more examples.
