A day in the life of Maia // Portraits

This is my awesome friend Maia and the other day we strolled the streets of Hamilton and took some photos for fun. A fun fact about us is we often get mistaken for the same person or sisters!

OLIVIA // BRIDAL FASHION PORTRAITS

This shoot, what can i say?  I loved everything about it, the light filled space, the simple beautiful dress, the handcrafted flowers and our gorgeous model all really helped pull this off.  So myself & Tara had been planning a shoot for before I left for NZ for ages and it finally happened.  Here are some of the photos from the shoot! 

 

 

Model: Olivia

Location: Exeter Phoenix

So as most of you know i am now in New Zealand for a while so I might not be posting for a while.  I have started another blog so will link that in when I have the time.

EMILY // LIFESTYLE PORTRAITS

This is my sweet, talented friend Emily.  We had a good catch up while shooting by the beach in Cornwall on a windy day in April.  We dipped our feet (or wellies in my case) in the water and skipped away from the larger waves.  The sea was great for surfers so there was lots around.  One day i am going to learn to surf, I have decided!  Anyways, here are some of the shots form our seaside adventure.

In other news, I am headed to New Zealand for a few months this July.  I'm really excited to start this adventure and will definitely take lots of photos!

LIFESTYLE PORTRAITS // BRYONY

This is my beautiful friend Bryony.  She's a talented costume designer and I love that we live in the same village so can shoot when she's back from University.  We met up the other day for a catch up and mini shoot to test my new lens. 

 Got a couple more shoots to share with you in the next few days, stay tuned.

EMILY // BY THE QUAYSIDE

 A couple of weeks ago I met up with Emily and we wandered around Exeter, drank Starbucks (twice) and caught up.  Emily also does photography and graphic design, it was really great to work with a fellow creative and share ideas.

Bridal inspired portraits // Bryony

 Spending time with my friends is something I love, and photographing beautiful* people in beautiful light.  

So, what better way to spend my evening than shooting with my friends in a beautiful location?!

These photo's are from a couple of weeks ago when I collaborated with Tara and Bryony to create some bridal inspired portraits.  

The light was just gorgeous as the long streak of great weather continued (i don't think it rained for almost 3 weeks which is so rare here in the UK!!) and it was really feeling like summer.

We crafted a bouquet of wildflowers and added a pop of colour with carnations.  We laughed and photographed 'till the sun went down.  I had so much fun working with my friends and I hope you enjoy looking at what we created!

 *everybody is beautiful whether they think so or not

a couple of BTS pics...

^^ this was Bryony's view all evening!

I hope to do more shoots like this in the future and I'd love to collaborate with different models and wedding vendors.
