Florals for the feral

Summary: We bloom where the wild things are. Wayfarer is a small dried and wild floral based design service in North Wales. Catering to the wild folk and those who walk the edgelands, my designs are inspired by the wheel of the year, folklore and the seasons. I try to use found and foraged bones, feathers and wild blooms to conjure something truly feral and unique

The alternative wedding world has grown enormously since these images were taken. New suppliers have appeared. New events and communities have been created. The breadth of what an alternative wedding can look like has expanded, and, somewhere along the way, two independent wedding collectives eventually found their paths converging to become Dark Wedding Collective.

Why choosing a wedding photographer is about more than finding photographs you like.

Put two brilliant photographers in the same place, at the same moment, with the same couple in front of them and you might assume you'd end up with two similar wedding galleries… you won't. That was one of the unexpected gifts of our Wuthering Heights editorial at Sheriff Hutton Castle.

There is something wonderfully strange about the way we've turned the heart into a symbol of love. The real thing isn't symmetrical. It isn't pink. It certainly doesn't come with an arrow through it. It's muscle and valves and blood. It beats somewhere beneath your ribs without asking permission, keeping you alive while you fall in love, have your heart broken, mend it, risk it and ultimately decide to give it to somebody else. Which, when you think about it, makes the anatomical heart a rather perfect wedding symbol.
