I’m extremely flattered to have been asked to collaborate with the fabulously talented Candice Dowling of Jubilee Events, photographers Robert and Kathleen Trenske and Beth Chapman from The White Dress By The Shore on an upcoming photo shoot at the end of the month. Robert & Kathleen are bringing a group of photographers to Paris as part of their Taking Off photography seminar, and while they’re here we’ll be styling a romantic “Wedding in Paris” photo shoot. All of the pieces are coming together, and I’ll definitely post more info soon, but in the meantime, take a look at the sumptuous inspiration board for the shoot:
Spring is supposedly just around the corner, but judging by the big freeze in Paris (not to mention the incredible snow storm that dropped on the South of France this week), it still seems a long way off. But rather than moan and groan about the arctic chill that’s spread across France, why don’t we instead imagine ourselves chic and toasty, wrapped in layers of silk, satin and snugly (faux, s’il vous plait) fur- all ready for a late-winter wedding in Paris?
