Every now and again, I receive the biggest possible compliment from another wedding industry contact:) The lovely Cara who is the mastermind and big boss at The Mosaic Wedding Company, approached me to do a few new portraits for her website:) I’ve worked with her once or twice at weddings before, and I can say in all honesty that this is a lady who has found her calling! She and I have very similar views on wedding service providers, and how we are all not only selling a service and brand, but with all our strengths and quirks, we’re putting a bit of our true selves into every occasion. It’s so easy in this day and age to create a brand that isn’t necessarily true to our personalities. With us working so closely alongside people on such a personal moment in their lives, it’s really important that our clients and future clients know who we are when we’re being ourselves. For this reason, Cara asked me to try and photograph her as naturally as possible … not too much silly posing, or making her conform to the cookie cutter image of what a wedding coordinator “should” look like. I’m besotted with the result! Here she is in her joyful, sentimentally tattooed, and completely charming natural state:) All my love, Claire xxx
