Valentine's Day Inspirations: Pretty Heart Pie...

When the weather is a cold as it is at the moment and it's snowing outside we thought about a Valentines Day of keeping warm, snug & cosy! A romantic walk followed by a delicious dinner and this beautiful photograph by one of our favourite photographers, Elizabeth Messina of Kiss the Groom, is the perfect hand made and home made idea - a pretty heart pie!

The red filling and heart shaped pastry covering the top of the pie are just ideal and it's something a bit different. For myself this would be a great challenge to create and so I think it would go down well!

Serve it on a pretty cake or pie stand with hot chocolate and get cosy in front of the fire...

Valentine's Day Inspirations: Me and You Pencils

Valentines day is approaching and we have been gathering cute little ideas to share! We love Valentines Day ourselves but always prefer something personal, thoughtful, cute or quirky. One year James { the romantic man that he is } created a treasure hunt for me! It was great fun trying to solve the clues he left for me of where to go next, and it ended in a super cute, snugly & yummy picnic at one of our favourite countryside spots - on a deck looking out over the water.

So our cute Valentines Day gift idea today are these lovely new pencils from Knot & Bow, called Me & You Pencils. Each pencil is engraved with a different gold stamp such as...

Me & You

Salt & Pepper

Bread & Butter

Tea & Biscuits

etc.

I'd love to find these at my studio desk! {Slight hint there perhaps James! }

Wedding Inspirations: The Best Gift Idea

Being Photographers ourselves too (yes we are a creative pair!) we know the value of beautiful photography and capturing those beautiful moments in your life. From gender reveal sessions to announce if a couple is expecting a baby boy or girl, to wedding photography capturing the special details of your day - photographs are an amazing gift to treasure and also share.

We were so delighted when we came across this beautiful moment captured by Alyse French Photography and the story that went with it. We just had to share it!

This beautiful Bride, Jenn was shocked to receive a touching, heartfelt, unique and to us a priceless gift from her Groom, Josh as she was getting ready on their wedding day. She had no idea that her thoughtful Groom had hired a Photographer who secretly photographed the moment he proposed to her and so just as they were about to get married she was presented with the framed photograph! The best gift idea!
