After rescheduling and rearranging multiple times throughout lockdown after lockdown, at last the 25th of July 2021 was the one that stuck for Laura and her husband. Delighted to finally get married Laura was such a joy to work with for her wedding morning and even more of a joy was to receive this message after from the lovely bride herself... "Honestly Jo, you were amazing to have as our make-up artist. Our make-up stayed on all day, we looked as good as we did when you had just finished at 3am! None of us could believe someone could be so talented at that! Thank you so much!" What a compliment,...

What's better than one wedding? How about two? Posie and Harry took getting married to the next level with their epic two day celebration of their love. The first day consisted of a very beautiful and traditional church wedding, only to be followed on the second day with a huge party which even included a military presence from the Queen's Guards. It's safe to say this couple really know how to celebrate in style, so to be included as part of the team pulling this day together was a real honour. The vibe of Posie's makeup was really about creating a natural emphasis, an understated no makeup...

It's always exciting when a wedding I work on makes a feature with one of our many amazing wedding media platforms we have here in the UK. Mostly because it's just so lovely to see all that hard work, planning, excitement and joy that I know the couple went through is now going to be passed on to inspire so many new couples. For Danielle and Ben that's exactly what their Love My Dress feature is all about, scrolling through the pages of dreamy shots by Georgina Harrison it's hard not to get filled with blissful thoughts and ideas of what you'd pinch for your own day. You might remember a couple...

I first chatted to Danielle around the end of March 2020, back whilst we were all still in Lockdown 1, which feels soooo long ago now. If only we knew then what we do now! Anyone else remember thinking it might of all blown over in a couple months at the most? Over a year later, with a lot of patience and careful planning, Danielle and Benjamin were thrilled to finally tie the knot on the 1st of July 2021. With original plans of a romantic Italian destination wedding, Danielle quickly shifted gears as the pandemic took hold and wisely chose an equally desirable second option, the Fig House...

The smallest wedding in the world... Okay I might be exaggerating but when Covid restrictions were still hitting weddings hard not so long ago, illustrators Francis and Nick decided to tie the knot just them and two friends! A four person ceremony, what a lovely intimate way to really make the moment special.     Just because it was a little ceremony doesn't mean Francis couldn't go big on somethings! Her bouquet by Willow and Bear Floral Design was an explosion of colour and texture with such a playful variety of gorgeous blooms it really did make for a lovely piece for our little...

As the nation prepared for lockdown number 3 back at the end of 2020, I was attending my last wedding of the year. With all the cancellations, uncertainty and moving of dates this lovely couple luckily squeezed in this gorgeous micro wedding to tie the knot just in time before weddings were taken out of the equation again for a number of months thanks to the pandemic.     It was the morning of the 4th of November 2020 and the sun was shining as if it were a good omen of the day to come whilst I met with bride to be Helen. We sat and chatted about the excitements...

Last week's blog we were jumping forward in time to AW21 with some Stila for designer Freya Lillie but this week we're throwing it all the way back to August 2019 for Maria and Sean's wedding. I couldn't help but want to share these shots by the always wonderful and talented Margarita Hope Photography that really capture the cool calm and joyful energy of their wedding day.   Maria and Sean are a young couple who you can really tell are truly, madly and deeply in love with each other that the happiness of their day was totally contagious. On the morning of Maria was super calm but still...

This time of year I am normally in the likes of Milan or Paris for fashion week, living my best life rushing between shows creating high end editorial looks for catwalk models. Instead thanks to Covid I am at home celebrating the latest news that we finally have a roadmap to get out of lockdown, which means wedding season is ON! I know it's still all hopeful target dates from Boris, but I will keep all of my fingers and toes crossed that the R rate stays down, vaccine rates stay up and we finally do have an end in sight to what has been truly the most challenging time for us all.
