Following my previous shoot at Coughton Court, I was delighted to be invited back by Cab Campaign to capture the “living” side of the estate. The brief shifted from the quiet stillness of the architecture to the warmth of lifestyle photography, focusing on natural, candid moments that showcase the site as a welcoming space for all.
To maintain a soft editorial feel, I relied entirely on natural light and a shallow depth of field, avoiding the stiff, staged look of traditional commercial photography. By focusing on movement-children running through the gardens, families sharing a laugh, and quiet moments of discovery-I aimed to capture the authentic connection between the visitors and the historic surroundings.
The resulting collection balances grand hero shots with intimate, tactile details, creating a visual narrative that feels both aspirational and accessible. It was a pleasure to document how heritage and everyday enjoyment seamlessly overlap at such a storied location.

A big thanks to the Coughton Court Estate, Cab Campaign, and our wonderful models for a fantastic day on-site.
