Local Albany photographer Holly Medway organised a Spring Micro Wedding Shoot at Phillips Brook Estate in November 2020. A lovely mix of vintage urns, repurposed vessels and home made recycled candelabras from my collection filled the delightfully rustic space which together with our home grown flowers was beautiful.

Spring in the garden at Riverdale Farm means an abundance of delicate blooms and scented garden roses. This spring bounty of floral material inspired a collaboration with a group of talented wedding vendors at the farm.

A simply styled spring wedding celebration at our small flower farm with the first of the spring blooms was a colourful seasonal and sensory delight. All captured beautifully by Jemma Keech Photography.

The Riverdale survey title is Plantagenet Location 771, created in 1898. We purchased the property in 2004 and run a herd of Murray Grey cattle and have an extensive country style garden #countrystyle from which we enjoy vegetables, fruits and harvest pinot grapes for wine.

On a warm summer’s day in early January, Abbey and I inspired by the parched paddocks surrounding the extensive gardens at Riverdale Farm #riverdalefarmalbany #riverdalefarm designed a bouquet and table setting.

Taking time to catch up on some blog posts to share some of the beautiful imagery sitting on my computer....whilst staying at home during the current world wide pandemic.
