Cotswold Life shoot - Extra Images

We had a great day at Ellenborough Park shooting for Cotswold Life and Jack Murphy Clothing.  I've already posted most of the published shots but there were so many good images that I've put together the best of the rest here.

I've worked with Adam Robertson and Madame Bink several times but this was the first time I modelled with Binky (I'm usually doing hair and makeup for her or modelling with just Adam).  It was so nice to work with the team in a different way.  I'm usually a bit cautious when someone else is doing my makeup, no offence to the decent makeup artists out there but so many have given me eye infections down to bad hygiene, rubbed my skin raw with wipes or simply aren't up to professional standard that I would rather just do my own.  Vicki Waghorne (the makeup artist for this shoot) was luckily none of those things.  She was great to work with, a proper professional who can do my makeup anytime!  She used an airbrush base which I loved (its the next thing on my makeup kit list!).

Adam Robertson, Madame Bink & I all wrapped and happy

As for the venue.... Thomas Goodman started building the house in early 1600’s on the original Cheltenham racecourse estate. It has been restored and turned into a fabulous hotel and spa.  Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to visit the spa but the house was pretty special too.  This time though I was drawn to the exterior, I adore Cotswold stone and loved the towers and turrets on this building.  Inside it has a really homely feeling, especially in the great hall with its impressive fireplace and hidden staircases that lead to little elevated hideaways and galleries.  Ellenborough provides a beautiful setting for your wedding, weekend away, spa visit or even just dinner.  If you’re in the area it’s worth a look.

So here's my favorites from the shoot....
