  • Swedish Christmas style | Surrey interiors photographer

    If you’re like me, you’ll be getting a little excited about decorating your home for Christmas around about now.

    Before setting up my own business, I spent several years working as an interiors editor in London, so every year I got to feast my eyes on the most beautiful festive homes from around the world. Almost always, the Swedish ones were my favourites. As a lover of all things simple, natural and minimalist, they definitely appealed to my aesthetic so I was fully inspired with creative Christmas ideas every year.

    I photographed this beautiful Surrey family home last December, owned by Swedish-born Denise and her property developer husband, Nick. Denise helps run The Dining Chair Company and has a natural flair for interior design. She wanted to share her Swedish Christmas style and traditions with their young family so she created this incredible festive interior full of beautiful handcrafted pieces and homemade food, with quiet, sophisticated elements throughout. I love how the use of colour and natural materials conjures up images of snow-covered cabins and warm log fires.

  • Hotel Convento do Salvador | travel, design and photography

    Life has changed. But change is always good.

    I no longer get to spontaneously jump on a plane to wherever I feel like, but I still get that fuzzy feeling when a chance to travel somewhere new comes along.  Lisbon was one of those places I hadn’t got round to seeing yet, but I knew it was on my list. Travel, design and photography are some of my favourite things, especially when they all come together. So, after only a year of planning, myself and two great friends made our escape on British Airways for a Portuguese adventure.

    Hotel Convento do Salvador , located in the beautiful and historical neighbourhood of Alfama, was recommended to us by a friend who had stayed there previously. It is a former convent which is now run as a non-profit organisation to support cultural activities for local children. The design is very clean and modern, with artwork from some of Portugal’s finest artists on display throughout.

    It was a perfect place to stay for our weekend in Lisbon. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were very comfortable and clean and the food was great. The central courtyard was so beautifully designed, I think I could have quite happily sat there for the whole weekend.

    Of course, we were far too busy wandering slowly along the narrow streets, and having fun everywhere we went, to see all that Lisbon has to offer: a weekend is NOT enough for me.

    So I will definitely be returning next year, I need some more change in my life!

  • Okishima & Simmonds London | Bespoke wedding florists | Kings Road, Chelsea

    I first discovered Chikae and Jessica, aka Okishima & Simmonds, whilst working on a creative photography project, and was completely blown away by their artistry with flowers. There is something truly wonderful in the way they combine their love of nature with contemporary design.

    Recently, they opened a pop-up store on the Kings Road in Chelsea, so I called in to say hello and take a few pics over the weekend. As expected, every area of the store is thoughtfully curated with beautiful, natural details, modern colour palettes, and the most incredible floral designs everywhere.

    Jessica’s friendly dog Bruno was also on hand to greet customers and show them around.

    If you are in the area (or planning your 2016 wedding or event) keep an eye out for it. It is located in the old Hand and Flower pub at 617 Kings Road and is well worth a visit.
