🌺Almost a month ago already when I went to the palatial for Aimee’s wedding morning prep.

(OMG have you been there? It was my first visit and it’s just gorgeous!)

🌺Aimee wanted to look natural with definition around her eyes, so we went for my all time favourite soft brown, Wedge by
subtle enhances of amber and golden pigments, allowed some light to be drawn to the eyes, while we framed them with a soft kohl pencil.

🌺Peachy warm cheeks & lips finished the look & complimented the flowers and the accent colours of the wedding theme (I mean you have to think about these things)

🌺Thanks so much for having me Aimee, you had the most lovely bridal squad and it was a pleasure to be part of your day.

Thanks for having me as part of your day Charlotte. 💋

It was my joy and pleasure to work with on her new project aiming to empower women through her portrait photography. These gorgeous souls trusted us to make them look and feel amazing and I think the photographs speak for themselves.

Real women leading real lives and living it deliciously.

Did I ever mention I’m really good a keeping secrets? 🤫
Well now this safely guarded little gem is very much out of the bag I can show you these glorious pictures of my dear friend Rebecca on her secret wedding day back in June.

Throwing every perceived wedding norm out of the window Bex and Charlie did their day, in their own way. And I couldn’t be prouder of them for it! With only a few essential people knowing what was going to unfold they took the stress off themselves and stripped the day back to what really mattered to them.

Their relationship is the stuff of dreams. Understanding, compassionate, and respectful. Supporting each other through this complex life. Knowing the other is heard, respected and appreciated.
It was such an emotional morning for all of us. And it was my absolute honour and pleasure to be part of it.

(who also did another of my friends , it might be her thang!)

So happy to see the launch of this fabulous campaign today…. Beautiful Laura rocking the pink!

Beautiful Hannah, what a pleasure it was to make up this face! Gorgeous delicate skin, doe eyes, a true natural beauty.

This was a very busy morning at with a crew of 9 ladies for hair and makeup we were full on, but good planning kept the morning relaxed on one of the hottest days of the year! ☀️

📸 The most lovely and talented man 🤩

was on hand capturing all the important moments.

Yesterday it was my absolute pleasure to be part of this beautiful ladies bridal team. Various covid related postponements and some big life events made the day filled with emotions, even more so then usual. But Becky, her lovely bridesmaids and mum Sue made the morning flow with all the love and care a girl needs on her big day, and I was so happy to be part of it.

Ace team:

(little shout out to Beth here, only the second time I have worked with her but her hair up’s were exceptionally good, give her a follow as I’m sure she’ll post pictures of the back of Becky’s hair… serious wow factor!!)

A little note to those waiting for an email response from me, this week has been so busy I’ve been kept away from my inbox 💻
I’ve met with 4 glorious brides and have my 5th wedding of the week tomorrow. It’s an unprecedented time of the year, I am sorry if I’m slower to respond than normal.
Things are a little calmer next week…. Any urgent queries please drop me a WhatsApp.

In the mean time how about my beautiful Jodie?!? Just such a lovely lady inside and out, I am so blessed with my clients, which makes all the hard work so worth it.
