Pacific Wines - Passion in Every Glass


In the heart of Angel, Islington, where the vibrant city life of London meets the serene beauty of an independent wine shop, I recently had the pleasure of a photoshoot with Pacific Wines. This unique venue, curated by the passionate founder, Rachel, is a haven for wine enthusiasts seeking the best from the American Pacific coast.


What makes this venue truly stand out is its dedication to showcasing an exquisite collection of wines to suit every taste and budget. Pacific Wines is more than just a shop; it's an experience. The carefully selected bottles adorn rustic wooden shelves in a beautiful setting that exudes an air of sophistication and charm.


During the shoot, there was one particular element that added a touch of whimsy to the day. Meet Bo, Rachel's charming canine companion. Bo, sporting a Halloween-themed bandana, couldn't have been a more adorable and willing participant in the shoot. His presence brought a warm, friendly vibe to the photographs, reminding us that it's not just about wine; it's about the moments and memories created within these walls.

In our conversation with Rachel, we uncovered an interesting facet of Pacific Wines. Besides being a wine shop, it doubles as a venue for wine tasting events. This shoot aimed to highlight not only the carefully curated wine selection but also the versatile venue space, where gatherings and celebrations can come to life. The venue can host events ranging from intimate gatherings to grand soirées, and the shoot allowed us to capture the essence of these occasions.


As a London Portrait Photographer, I'm constantly in search of unique stories and settings that capture the essence of individuals and businesses. Pacific Wines is a prime example of a place where passion, dedication, and genuine love for what you do shine through. It's a haven for those who appreciate the finer things in life, and the warm atmosphere and exquisite wines make it a setting worth celebrating.


In a city as diverse and lively as London, finding such gems is truly a pleasure. The moments we captured during this shoot are a testament to the importance of genuine emotions and creating lasting memories. Pacific Wines isn't just about wine; it's about building connections, celebrating life, and creating cherished moments.


My background is in portraiture and street photography. I love trying to capture a person’s essence in a photograph. I am a curious person by nature and always want to know the real story, what a person is really like behind their public facade.
