Silk & Stone

June 1, 2016
Editorial, Portrait

Inspired by the beauty and colours of the landscapes and chateaus in the South of France I shot this French inspired editorial shoot Silk & Stone at Hassop Hall in Derbyshire for Rock My Wedding.

With a backdrop of Hassop Hall and a team of talented suppliers I put together this inspirational shoot for boho brides. Inspiration for modern couples who want a relaxed yet beautiful theme for their wedding.

Our warm yet muted colour scheme can be easily recreated. The dresses and accessories we chose are effortlessly easy to wear, no matter where you’re getting married.

The bias cut silk gowns by Kate Beaumont and blush beaded shoes by the amazing Emmy Shoes were the perfect pairing for our chateau inspired backdrop. The beautifully draped fabrics caught the light and looked so elegant on our model Sophia.

Stylist Nina Marika created a rustic tablescape complete with fresh fruit, pastel macaroons and hand calligraphed stationery by Claire Gould.

Hair and make-up artist Sarah Morten created a series of soft and romantic styles to complement each dress. Each look was based around creating something that would be achievable for the modern bride.

Florist Anna Potter from Swallow & Damsons put together natural bouquets in a green, grey and dusty pink colour scheme. The florals were teamed up with hand dyed silk ribbons by Lancaster and Cornish. Perfect for our silk & stone vision.

With an abundance of natural light and so many glorious backdrops to choose from, I was spoilt for choice on this fine art editorial shoot. I shot on a combination of film and digital to create this ethereal series of images for Rock My Wedding.

WHY we're the perfect match

WE ARE SOULMATES

I photograph weddings for couples who prefer a relaxed yet beautiful style of wedding photography. My unobtrusive style enables me to capture the special moments & genuine emotions of the day. I pair these documentary style images with beautifully styled fine art fashion portraits & detail shots, to create a series of images that tell your unique wedding story in those most elegant way that I can. I enjoy working with natural light as much as possible, so that the images of your special day look exactly how you remember them.

My fine art approach, and use of soft natural light and a warm pastel colour palette, allows me to create fresh and luminous photography.

I focus on the intimate and sincere moments of your wedding, creating images that tell an honest and genuine story that will last forever. I will not just document the ceremony and the formalities, but those extra little moments which will give so much pleasure in years to come.

My style is for the romantics, the daydreamers & the lovers of the beauty of timeless simplicity.

"HER WORK IS STUNNING. SHE MAKES BEAUTIFUL USE OF NATURAL LIGHT."

"What can I say! Emma was just incredible throughout our day...she's captured moments we didn't even realise anyone had noticed. 

Her work is stunning. She makes beautiful use of natural light and our whole album is so bright, airy and clean just how I wanted it. The end result is just the most perfect album which captured not just moments but actual emotions too. 

From the bottom of our hearts - thank you so much Emma, I'm so glad we found you! xxx"

And with the images, the aftercare, plus the professionalism and fast response rates throughout, you will never regret booking Emma. Our wedding album is so dreamy and everything we could have asked for. Thank you Emma."

JEN & GEMMA

"Emma captured our wedding day perfectly! So many amazing shots to choose from, from our styled photos to our natural ones and all the little touches and scenery - they are incredible. Emma is so lovely and professional and she made us feel at ease even when we at our most nervous before the wedding. She even helped me in my final moments to make sure I was ready! She went above and beyond for us and all our guests have commented on how gorgeous the photos are. We can’t thank her enough"
