One of the first friends I made in the industry, over 10 years ago, was the lovely Chloë Honoré and she remains one of my closest friends to date. Not only is she a great mum to two amazing girls (who I snap at every available moment), wife to a Rock Star guitarist (I shot their wedding!!) and all round fabulous person but she is also a renown make-up artist. Chloë has worked with everyone from Cheryl Cole, Usher and Leighton Meester to Alice Temperley, Sarah Ferguson and Richard Branson.
Recently, Chloë and her friend and fellow make-up artist Ruth Warrior teamed up after being asked hundreds of times if they do wedding make-up. The two have created Warrior & Honoré a bespoke make-up service for brides who rock! So brides can look and feel like an A-Lister without having to be famous! And you can rest easy knowing that you are in the hands of two of fashion and beauty’s industry leading make-up artists! I’m proud to happily recommend these guys when my brides ask me for someone to take care of their make-up for the day.
Have a look at their beautiful website to see what they can provide…

Yesterday I spent a couple of hours photographing a team of trainers, nutritionist and other well-being therapists who work out of Lomax, this super cool unique space in St James Park. Everyone was extremely friendly, if not a little scary, with their amazingly obvious fitness levels. I also shot some of the yummy food that they serve on site or deliver to their clients. I’m possibly about to embark on a little project with these guys, so more information and updates soon.
I had a great morning this week with the team of the newly formed Salt Global. They wanted some portraits for their website and marketing which showed them as the approachable, friendly, professional bunch they are. I chose the amazing Milliners Loft at Snap Studio (a wonderful place which is like my 2nd home) as our backdrop and we shot a variety of portraits of each of the team. It was a fun shoot; blaring music, lots of laughs and everyone relaxed into it quickly… although that might have had less to do with me and more to do with the small bottles of pink fizz the girls picked up en-route to the studio… really ladies at 10am!?!?
One of my close friends Khurram got married last weekend to the lovely Jo. The whole day took place at The Petersham, a beautiful hotel in Richmond, and the weather was just perfect for them. They had a very intimate ceremony for family, with the adorable ring-bearer keeping us all entertained, followed by champagne and then lunch. As a friend I was very privileged to be there and share it with them (and take some shots to capture the day of course).
All of us friends will all be able to celebrate properly with Mr and Mrs, and LOTS of bubbles, some time next year when Jo can have more than just a sip, after the birth this summer of their first child. I can’t wait! Another excuse for me to take some pictures!
