      Let me tell you something – there’s nothing quite like MonAnnie Cakes.

Owned by Segun and Fen, MonAnnie Cakes is known for providing a delightful experience that’s so much more than cakes, patisseries, and desserts. With a focus on creating bespoke, flavor-first, elegant wedding cakes, desserts, and patisserie, MonAnnie Cakes uses nothing but the finest ingredients to satisfy the palate of its well-traveled international clientele.

      When Fen contacted me about having a branding shoot for MonAnnie Cakes, I was over the moon. I’ve worked with Fen and Segun over the years. I’ve seen them grow their business into the successful brand that it is now. I also personally know them to be genuinely kind and caring persons who only give the best in anything they do. Safe to say, I’m lucky to know this wonderful couple and couldn’t be happier that they’ve chosen me for this shoot.

      We spent a rainy afternoon setting up their cakes and patisserie at the beautiful Thorpe Manor. The goal was to create beautiful images that MonAnnie Cakes can use for the launch of their new website. Our lovely friend Alex of Alexandra Rose Weddings styled the wonderful patisserie and cake setups as well as the stunning floral displays.

      Here’s what Fen of MonAnnie Cakes has to say about working with me:

      “I decided to book Cristina for my brand shoot because of her incredible talent and considered approach to design. With her, it’s not just about taking beautiful photos. But about capturing the essence of your brand and telling your brand story through the images. My favorite part of working with Cristina is her inspiring warm personality, and her ability to make me feel safe and comfortable in front of the lens. When I received by my photos I was blown away by all the shots! They were just perfect! I especially loved the detailed shoots. As a cake designer, a lot of work goes into the little details. Cristina takes the time to capture all intricacies beautifully. Cristina is a master at her craft and my go-to photographer for my branding imagery. With Cristina, you are in for an unforgettable visual experience.”
