I have a little girl, she's 5 years old and takes ballet classes every Saturday morning. And she dreams of being a ballet dancer when she grows up.

"The aim was to showcase to Brides, wedding looks that they can incorporate into their wedding styling.
We focused on two main looks – a strong contrast monochrome 'black swan' look, and a softer, more feminine and pretty 'white swan' look. Our beautiful models -Jess, Megan and Karen – are all trained ballerinas;

"Our venue was The Monastery in Manchester, which is one of the most incredible wedding venues I have ever seen.

When the main space is set up for a wedding or event it looks absolutely breathtaking…"
"It was a truly fabulous day and I feel so grateful and privileged to have worked with such talented and creative people. The team were amazing, sourcing and creating pieces especially for the shoot, and exceeding my expectations at every turn (and they were pretty high!)."
