In delving around in my portfolio, I remembered this shoot from March – and realised that I never shared it in its entirety anywhere. It was such a beautiful shoot, I may as well put it out in the world late, rather than never! 

The amazing Jess managed to work absolute magic and blag us 1 hour in the Rylands Library before it opened. It’s an opportunity so few people have and I’m endlessly grateful for her getting us that access. Also a big thanks to Matt and SwingOut Manchester for making it all happen and trusting me with this shoot. 

I’m amazed by what we achieved in an hour – it was such a rush and there are definitely things I’d change about the shoot if I was to re-do it now, but it’s still a lovely result nonetheless. 

Also a huge thank you to Broady for being a gem of a behind the scenes second shooter. Here are some of his golden captures.
