Styled Doesn’t Have to Mean Staged: Chloe & Ed’s Golden Hour Field Shoot

Vibe Led, Story Driven: a lo-fi, high-style session


Lately, there’s been a loud buzz in the photography world: to be ‘authentic,’ your work has to be hands-off - no direction, no staging. The belief is that true documentary art only comes from letting moments unfold completely unstaged.

But here’s the thing - we believe the art is in knowing exactly when to step in and when to step back.

Chloe & Ed’s shoot is proof that genuine connection and direction can exist in the same frame.

It wasn’t a wedding. No strict timeline. No forced moments. Just two people, a clear vision, and space to be themselves. Styled with intention. Shot with feeling.

Creative Direction with Purpose

We headed out to a field at golden hour - nothing fancy, just a wide open space, killer light (well, for at least 30 seconds before the sun disappeared behind a veil of clouds!) and a vibe that felt right. A couple of pink and red striped fold-out chairs, a few disco balls, retro Coke bottles clinking in hand… the energy was effortlessly cool, but intentional.

There was styling. There was a look. But none of it was forced. This was Chloe + Ed - their personalities, laid-back, nostalgic, and totally present - captured on digital and 35mm film.

It’s not about recreating Pinterest. It’s about creating something that actually feels aligned with you. So your photos are true and authentic to your personalities and style.

Something honest, but still elevated. Real, but considered. It’s about capturing the way you love.

That’s the space we love to work in. Not staged. Not random. Just thoughtful storytelling that actually looks how it felt.

And trust us - this one felt good.
