Lovely Mel Badsey , intimate wedding and elopement photographer, got in touch with me to share a beautiful styled wedding photography idea. She was gathering resources for an elopement photo shoot the Australian Grampians, and she asked if I would like to supply a painted jacket that captured the theme. I said yes!! Then followed a super speedy design process, and the fastest jacket painting I have ever done to ensure the piece reach Mel in Australia ahead of the shoot. There was also quite a lot of wishing, hoping and preying to the god of Postal Deliveries . All the preying and finger crossing worked and my painted jacket got to Mel just in time. Take a look at how the shoot came together, it’s beautiful!

Shot just before the Covid19 pandemic hit the word and plunged so many weddings and celebrations into so much uncertainty the intimate elopement concept – just a birde a groom and a celebrant really resonates. Ivory Tribe wedding blog shared the shoot to inspire couples who may need to rethink their wedding plans. @ivorytribe See the article feature on Ivory Tribe ELOPEMENT ELEGANCE IN THE GRAMPIANS

Here a three beautiful recent custom painted wedding jacket commissions with cherished fur babies incorporated into the design. Adding your pets makes for the the most personal and beautiful wedding day keepsake, and it allowed one of the brides to take her dogs (in spirit) half way across the world to be part of her destination wedding. In both of these feature dog designs the floral elements are bespoke choices too. They are native flowers representing important place for the brides. Of course it’s not just dogs you can add in to your bespoke design – see the third jacket here for some sweet little pet rats roaming around the flowers of the wedding bouquet. To start your commission just get in touch by email or drop me a message on Instagram I would love to hear from you. Carole xx
