What’s not to love about flowers? Feel-good beauty in each unique petal, stunning scents and an array of amazing colours.

One of my other most favourite things is photographing awesome people, so you can imagine my excitement when I got to combine the two a few weeks ago working on a project for Zeller at the incredible Thistle Flowers.

Matt and Chris, like myself, are fairly new to Port Macquarie and have recently moved in alongside the stunning Hollow Store on Murray Street.

The space is relaxed and calm, the lighting soft and the welcome is warm. I was fortunate to be able to photograph Matt and Chris over an hour of their busy morning and it’s instantly obvious how much care and love they pour into their work. Each bouquet is thoughtfully designed, every stem placed for maximum effect.

I was lucky enough to glimpse some wedding flowers which Matt & Chris were prepping, the flower crowns were so detailed and utterly beautiful.

Not only do they show their fresh, locally grown flowers a whole lot of love and care, that same welcome is evident for every person who walked into the store. A friendly chat, lots of smiles and a wealth of knowledge about their trade.

So much pretty! I could go on and on with sharing photos from the morning, it was such a joy to be there and to meet Chris, Matt and the Hollow Store team too.
