Mad Hatters Teaparty at Bake-a-Boo, London!

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 Posted in Corporate Shoots

On Sunday I photographed Vicky’s Mad Hatter Fascinator Workshop at the gorgeous London teashop Bake-a-Boo, in Hampstead.

It was a riotous affair, with a troupe of hens plus bride, several brides to be and the lovely Miranda, Editor of Cosmo Bride all in attendance to make fine millinery creations.

Bake-a-Boo was the most fantastic location for the afternoon, I’ve never seen such a wonderful tearoom and definitely want to take my Mum back there for a lovely afternoon tea when next in London! They had gone to town with the Mad Hatter theme, and had fab biscuits in the shape of white rabbits, jam tarts and all manner of Alice in Wonderland type goodies! Vicky’s pal Alex had also used her talents to make some great ‘eat me’ and ‘drink me’ tags.

Clarabows Fascinator Workshop at Caffe Clifton, Bristol

Thursday, February 25, 2010 Posted in Corporate Shoots, Personal

My very talented and imaginative friend Vicky Rowe, who runs Vintage Teasets in Bristol has always been a dab hand at making her own hats and fascinators. She’s recently developed this side of her business into her new website www.clarabows.co.uk (created by my husband Lee!) and has started hosting the most fabulous fascinator workshops at gorgeous venues across the UK.

I joined her at Caffe Clifton in Bristol this Monday to shoot some images at one of her workshops for her new site, and what’s more I even got a chance to try my own hand at making a fascinator (a lovely little teal green number!).

I’ll be heading up to London with her for the next date which is a Mad Hatters Tea Party afternoon workshop on Sunday March 7th at uber cute Hampstead tearooms Bake-a-boo www.bake-a-boo.com/. We also plan to take in afternoon tea at the brilliant Sketch as a birthday treat (I’ll be 28 in two weeks time – eeek!).

For all the details of Vicky’s London workshop check out www.bake-a-boo.com/workshops – it would be great to see you there!

Combe House Hotel – Devon wedding photography shoot

Friday, November 27, 2009 Posted in bridal fashion

Combe House Hotel near Honiton, Devon was the venue for a fantastic wedding photography shoot for myself with the extremely talented wedding stylist Vicky Rowe from vintageteasets.co.uk on Tuesday!

The ever fabulous Sarah Brock was on hand to create a flawless 1920s inspired makeup look and Becky Simpson from Hair By Becks @ Thairapy Bristol did an amazing job of vintage style bridal hairstyles. Vicky set up the dining room with a veritable feast of era-themed favours and ideas, while we had the luxury of two amazing florists – Bella & Fifi Flowers and Julie from Floriture who created some bridal designs and floral table decorations with the 1920s in mind. I must also mention the beautiful little cakes made especially for the shoot by Clifton Cakes – hard to resist, but we did get the chance to enjoy them at the end and they were every bit as good as they looked!

Though it was raining in parts, we also popped outside as Combe House had organised a vintage car for us to shoot with as well. There were so many great areas to photograph inside the house – we started by shooting in the two dining areas, then moved into the grand hall entrance. During a spot of lunch I got some great shots of the girls against all the copper pots and pans and then we headed up to shoot in some of the stunning hotel bedrooms, including the famous Linen Suite which has been featured in Tatler Magazine.

Many thanks to all the amazing designers and suppliers who worked with us on the photoshoot and I hope you like the results! I’ll be posting Monday’s shoot from Mamhead House very soon!
