I first appeared on Rougham Estate’s radar back in 2021 after gaining permission from Ady for a private shoot in their sunflower field.
Following some discussions, I landed what felt like the ultimate job for a Christmas lover: photographing the Christmas Shop at Blackthorpe Barn.
Famous for its bespoke and tastefully curated selection of all things Christmas (with every item hand-selected by Ady himself), it’s like stepping into Father Christmas’ grotto.
Since then, Rougham Estate, an active farm spanning over 2,700 acres, has delivered a masterclass in diversification, quickly becoming the go-to destination in Suffolk.
With the estate grounds opening up for walks, alongside the opening of Roots Café and The Garden Room Shop, my work with them expanded to capture everything they have to offer. From food photography in the café and product/lifestyle shots for the shop to documenting crafts workshops, fairs, and sunflower and pumpkin field experiences—the list goes on. Rougham Estate continues to adapt and grow, constantly creating new customer experiences.
Here’s a selection of images from the past few years.
