'What is the use of a book, without pictures or conversations?'

'What is the use of a book, without pictures or conversations?' asked Alice. Or in the more commonly used quote - a picture speaks a thousand words. And in the case of our Alice in Wonderland themed shoot at Scampston Hall, that is incredibly true.

It's been said at times that I have some random ideas and I have to admit that's a fair evaluation. So when I came up with an Alice in Wonderland theme for the latest shoot it seemed like a fabulous idea and for once, I was right! We chose the stunning Scampston Hall, with its beautiful grounds, lake and walled gardens - our very own wonderland.

As always, there was a lead photographer and a 'Shoot The Shoot' photographer - in this case the lovely Annemarie King and Chris Milner respectively.

We now have hundreds of truly fabulous images from our day in the sunshine and as a result, felt that the first blog should feature some of our favourites, just to give you a taster of the whole shoot. We've chosen a few pictures from both Annemarie and Chris which I can assure you was no easy task.... we hope you love them as much as we do.

Rather than bore you with lots of our thoughts in this blog, we're going to let the pictures speak for themselves - after all, what is the use of a book without pictures or conversations?
