A Modern London Romance

Photographed by Carr & Senteno, with creative direction and floral design by Emma Phoenix Flowers, this editorial delves into modern romance with a uniquely London perspective, set against the opulence of the Kimpton Fitzroy. The images, shot on both digital and 35mm film, strike a thoughtful balance between luxury and subtlety.

The collaboration emphasised intentional minimalism, complementing the architecture rather than overshadowing it. Sculptural, organic floral arrangements and sophisticated styling add softness and movement, creating a setting that is both purposeful and subtly dramatic.

The story revolves around a London couple, choosing the city to express their identity, where fashion and location are intertwined — blending the classic with the contemporary. Structured gowns anchor the narrative, inspiring a display of quiet, contextual elegance: modern and voluminous, enhanced by elements of traditional romance.

Captured with an intimate, mood-focused perspective, the images allow details to naturally unfold. The outcome is a modern wedding aesthetic that feels connected, distinctly London, and authentically romantic.
