Adam & Lynsey: A LOVE shoot...Sun, Sea and Surf

Adam & Lynsey: An engagement shoot on West Wittering Beach

One fine September's day, beach lovers Adam and Lynsey set to the sand followed by their adorable dog Bourbon closely in tow. Being a fellow beach lover myself, it was a joy to hear that West Wittering is of special significance to Adam & Lynsey, who are either walking Bourbon across the vast sands or kite surfing the shallows. It was an absolute pleasure keeping up with this action packed couple, shooting across sand and sea, from paddle boarding to sand dune frolicking. And... oh my, the weather was oh so kind. We enjoyed an afternoon bathed in golden rays..one we can only but dream of in this drizzly grey October. Images are powerful visual memories. I hope this set will be make for happy reminiscing of sunny days full of smooching and laughter. LOVE x

Islandesque: Luxury kaftan shoot...and a little wanderlust...

Calling all beach lovers, brides-to-be and thoughtful husbands-to-be.... With great excitement I am thrilled to announce the launch of Islandesque -  www.islandesque.com a lusciously feminine luxury kaftan range lovingly created by founder Alexandra Anastasio. I had the pleasure of shooting the collections and lookbook with associate photographer Lorna Stone www.lornastone.com. 

As a fellow island obsessive with a love of nature, this project was a dream to photograph. Alexandra's passion for lush flora and fauna, coupled with her wish to keep nostalgic memories alive, has inspired a swoon-worthy assortment of loveliness. Prints are inspired by the rich island hues and tropical flowers of the Isles of the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean, in addition to globe-trotting adventures discovering the vibrant flora of Europe, Asia and the South Pacific.

Beautiful beach brides, you must take a peek at the bridal range. And perhaps for those lucky far flung honeymooners, your special island memories could be captured forever for you to reminisce over, in the form of a stunning kaftan - a gift from a wonderful hubby-to-be perhaps? ;) 

Here are a few of my images from the shoot. However, be sure to go to www.islandesque.com  for lots more pretty. Ahhhhh beach dreaming........ LOVE x
