Dream Catcher...“Everything you can imagine is real” ― Pablo Picasso
“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.”
― Carl Sagan
― Carl Sagan
“Imagination is the golden-eyed monster that never sleeps. It must be fed; it cannot be ignored.” ― Patricia A. McKillip
“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight...”
― Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist
Every now and then, I am itching to unleash a little creativity in the form of a test shoot, as I feel it important to let one's imagination run wild by becoming involved in a purely creative, non commercial shoot. Collaborating with a team of creatives to conjure up a melting pot of ideas can be wonderful for inspiring the soul and opening up the imagination. Here are a few images from a recent collaboration featuring an amazingly gifted and graceful trained acrobat Siobhan J. The shoot would not have been possible without wardrobe stylist Emma Ewer's gem picks and Harry Andreou's hair and make-up wizardry. Special thanks to Sarah Dally for her kind photography assisting skills.
With a Dream Catcher theme set, Siobhan decorated her aerial hoop with eye catching feathers and we rolled from there using the New Forest to provide a suitably magical setting. As the sun set, the forest came alive with an ethereal ambiance...real magic of nature... LOVE x

Adam & Lynsey ...a sun kissed Watergate Bay wedding...
Well the weather experts announced the wettest April ever on record, but there was glorious Cornish sunshine for Lynsey and Adam. Guests travelled far and wide to celebrate their sun kissed celebrations at The Watergate Hotel, overlooking a spectacular piece of beach. The day was awash with a mixture of chilled surfer vibes coupled with a wave of girly excitement and happy tears...the tissues in the Bridesmaid's survival kit were a great idea! Vows were exchanged against a beautiful backdrop, the azure sea sparkled under a deep blue sky. Much to Adam's delight, there was even a kite surfer riding the waves as promises were made. It couldn't have been a more magical location for a surfer couple. Day turned to night as the sun dramatically changed from blue to a fiery orange leaving many happy memories of a beautiful day. When the party started the dance floor was jumping, led by a couple of cool kids who certainly threw a few dance moves or two! Being a fellow beach lover myself, it was an absolute dream and privilege to photograph at such a stunning location. What a beach to mark the beginning of married life with....may there be many more happy memories ahead and lots and lots of beaches! LOVE x
