Vintage Farmyard Engagement shoot with a miniature horse – Nicola + Pete
I like to do engagement shoots which are themed around the couples in them. Nicola is a horsey girl and both her and Pete are super stylish and love to dress up. It seemed obvious from the start that we would have to involve her beautiful chestnut thoroughbred, Demi. Then she mentioned something about a little miniature horse called Wonderboy, and I was sold. The shoot just had to be at the stables and the miniature horse just had to make an appearance!
Nicola is a big fan of arty photos and themed fashion shoots so I called on the ridiculously talented Drew Christie of Evolve salon and brilliant make up artist Lyndsay Nixon and we put our heads together to come up with a Vintage Farmyard Themed shoot with an artsy twist. I just love working with Drew and Lindsay, if you are looking for a hairdresser or make up artist … these two are so bloody brilliant! I also want to mention that Grant Davidson of Herr clothing designed and made the neck piece, scarf, pants and amazing jacket Pete is wearing. Oh I am too lucky to have some talented people in my world!!
Now I want a miniature horse more than ever!!!!!!!!!
