A garden tea party sounds like the most perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday or long weekend, so this beautiful photoshoot by Jonathan Coates seemed extremely fitting for today's feature! Jonathan Coates is a talented photographer based in Warwickshire, United Kingdom, and when he is not busy behind the lens, Jonathan is a songwriter and singer in a folk rock duo called Barricades Rise.

Jonathan explains: "My passion is for portraits or lifestyle/natural portraits to be exact. I love to capture people at ease and doing things that are not forced for the camera. Of course a nice staged shot can be beautiful and I’m happy to take them however, capturing a natural slice of time is what I find best tells a story. Whether this is a family shoot, a wedding or an event of any kind, this style of photography is where I find real beauty."
