As an editor, taking perfect photos is one of the happiest thing during my work. I like sharing stories with genuine emotions and taking less of traditional style shoots, but I do love working with like-minded suppliers. During this particular shoot process, we managed to have a lovely team of local suppliers and the atmosphere throughout the shoot was very relaxed and fun, which is always very important to me.
The inspiration came when I first saw the gorgeous floral dress by Louise Rose Couture. Louise is a young independent business owner and we had worked together in the past. I wanted to photograph it when I saw a sneak peek of her sundress. Instead of more obvious pastel colours, I choose to follow palette of blue and yellow tones: bold and yet elegant.
Since we wanted to achieve an authentic look, I hope to have a real couple at the beginning especially for a black bride as they are so underrepresented in this industry. I’ve been dreaming to shoot someone like Carissa for a very long time and when I saw her, a mom of two chidren and a blogger, on Instagram, I knew straight away she would be perfect.
Additionly, it was very important to me that Carissa was a genuine natural beauty. I think as photographers, we too often tend to display ideal beauties rather than real images that reflect and celebrate the diversity of women’s beautiful, natural bodies.
For the makeup and hair, we were also lucky to have Joyce Connor. As a successful makeup artist and a black woman herself, Joyce also offers training on how to apply the right make up on women of colour for other makeup artists.
The venue was the lovely Herons farm. These natural scenery, the raw beauty of its barn and the green surroundings complemented our theme perfectly. Sally and her husband Ralph, from ‘With These Hands’ brought everything together with their creative props and the gorgeous floral arrangements. Also you can make it for what you want.
