Farewell Photo-shoot

For those in the Farewell/ Funeral World requiring Professional Quality Photos

20th October 2025

This Photo-shoot is aimed at those in the industry who require a top quality gallery of photos to be used in social media, business branding and marketing.

Its not easy photographing yourself or your flowers in a funeral/farewell setting due to the obvious delicacy of the occasion.

Let us take the sentimentality of an emotional and sad occasion and create a professional backdrop for you to showcase yourselves and your work.

We will capture you in images not ordinarily available to Celebrants or Farewell florists.

These images will show you, your branding and your work in personalised staged settings. There will be a variety of Eco caskets including willow and cardboard. These staged props will be set in woodland copse, meadow or a flower field setting.

Headshots and indoor barn/workshop based images will also be taken giving you a bank of images for your Social Media and Corporate profiles

Whether a Celebrant or Florist this bespoke photo-shoot gives opportunity to stage Farewell settings with your own floral product or branded staging.
