Oh Ireland� sometimes you are too beautiful for your own good! There is something about this fair land that reels you in and captures you. And this shoot from Paula O'Hara, styled by Ciara O'Halloran shows it's beauty in a way my words can't adequately convey!! Of course it was a no brainer to feature this in Magnolia Rouge Magazine!

Sweeping woodlands command the landscape over the Vale of Avoca in County Wicklow. Not much has changed in this corner of Ireland in the last century, so much so that winding up the tree lined avenue of Clonwilliam House allowed us to step from one world to another. This was the basis for our inspiration; a land of sleeping beauty, where time had come to a standstill. This story was set against a palette of copper, mauve and dusty rose, accented with poetic Spanish moss and the craftsmanship of delicate lace and shimmering veils. The dappled sunshine danced like forest fairies and the breeze through the trees whispered of ancient love stories, which only added to the sense of alchemy in the air.

Story of Eve captured all the magic of the day in this beautiful short film.
