Weddings

I loved the trip to the Scottish Borders to be part of Caroline & Shea's wedding. Held in the beautiful Chirnside/ Kelso area, this part of the country never fails to impress me and makes for an idyllic wedding day backdrop. With the weather blessing the lovely couple with a warm glorious day the countryside setting truly came to life under the warm glow of the sun. A private wedding took place on the family farm where I endeavoured to replicate the aforementioned glow from the sunshine in Caroline's bridal make-up. It was important to Caroline her look was in keeping with the outdoor location...

She is all about...

The member of our creative trio is Gareth Lambert, who never fails...

Where do I begin with the wedding of Mr and Mrs Goddard? As I am writing this blog post and scheduling it to go out, it is exactly two years ago we were put into that first fateful lockdown and all weddings were postponed until further notice. It feels like so much longer now as we all start to catch up with our new normal and almost everyone who has faced a postponement has finally said their vows. The mad rush to fit every Bride in and the non-stop work I have been ever so grateful for to get back on my feet, it's been a whirlwind.   Amongst that whirlwind was the wonderful...

This year with the backing of three fantastic make-up sponsors the catwalk looked better than ever before.   Steamcream provided us with...
