A dreamy, nostalgic, and romantic semi-custom website for UK wedding photographer, Astrea With Love. Using our Olivia Rose template as a foundation, we swapped in her imagery and branding assets, designed new sections, and crafted an elevated website for her business in under 2 weeks. Our collaboration included: copyediting, brand consulting, and template customization (Website Rejuvenation Lite).

“Savannah is someone you can work with, knowing the connection is mutual, someone who sees you and cares for your space as if it were her own. Savannah is a homemaker for artists; she creates this little corner for you, gives you a hug, and hands you the keys. Having her by my side throughout this process has been a journey full of love. She has nurtured my art with care and transparency. I can’t recommend her enough.”
I knew working with you was going to be a beautiful, intense, and rewarding experience, and I was surprised that the hype I’d been building for two years was well-deserved and justified. Not because I expected you or this project to fail, but because expectations aligned with reality, and that’s a rare thing.

Intention
Back in late 2023, a sweet woman (whose work I’ve always admired) appeared in my messages, sharing how she recently added “working together” to her 2024 vision board. At the time, I found this to be such a surreal moment in my business – to be seen in a way that just so happens to inspire future action. And a few years later, we finally got to step into each other’s worlds, fully.
To be trusted, especially in these early chapters (the tender, foundational moments that often feel the most vulnerable and symbolic), is something I find truly meaningful about the work that I do.
And Astrea with Love is exactly that as well – a love wish. A space for connection in its most real and vulnerable form. A gentle time capsule of intimacy, softness, and memory. You can feel it in everything she creates. Warm, ethereal, and a little dreamlike. And yes, some might even say your very own fairytale. With that being said, the intention for this project was to create a website that could hold all parts of her while showcasing her art in a way that felt elevated, down-to-earth, dreamy, and desirable.
Process & Approach
Beginning with a copyedit, we revised Yolanda’s website copy to better convey the thoughts she holds as a human – especially in relation to photography, the world, and her clients. We wanted to make sure that when potential clients land on her page, they are able to connect with her way of being. We also used this opportunity to share more details about her approach and overall philosophy as an artist.
Together, we crafted her very first home using our Olivia Rose template as our foundation while weaving in her branding assets (created by Yolanda herself) and designed new vignettes that feel like little pockets of her.
“With today being launch day, I’ve been reflecting on how enriching this whole experience has been, from the moment of our first message until now. I want to thank you for joining me on this journey, but also applaud how incredibly hard you work. Those of us who appreciate your work see every effort and intention you put into it: the detailed PDFs, the guides, the resources, your instant feedback, your patience, warm and professional approach, your social media presence, and every meaningful interaction with each one of us. I hope you know that we see you too, and you are appreciated.”
Before working together, I was looking to connect with myself and my art, create a home for my clients, and overcome my imposter syndrome. For me, it’s been more of an emotional journey than a professional transaction. This process has been deeper and richer than I expected, but you helped me overcome any obstacles or doubts I had. Improved every detail. For example, my copy wasn’t perfect, and I had many insecurities because English isn’t my native language, and you very kindly and without me even asking, improved it while being true to my original text. I am incredibly grateful for that.
Having taken the step after so long feels right, and I’m so glad I did it with you. Knowing there’s a place where my clients can now browse my world is a step forward in many ways – a conversation without words. The sense of individuality was also clear to me. I could feel that you were fully present with me, crafting this space, and the experience felt 100% personalised and curated. The website’s aesthetics and every single detail speak for themselves. I’m in love and already thinking about the next step to work together in the future.
