ARIANE POOLE

Dare I even mention Autumn Winter 2021 clothing? I know we haven't even had our great British summer of freedom we're all hoping for yet, but over on location with Freya Lillie we're getting a head start on crunchy leaves and sweater weather for a shoot featuring their AW21 range.  Obviously, I'm not gonna be showcasing the collection for them, the professional images will be released when they're launching the line in August. However it's such a thrill to be back at work that I was excited to show you these behind the scenes sneak peaks we took and chat to you about trying out some latest...

After a suprise proposal at Middleton Lodge it was only right that on 12th of July 2019 Helen and Jo returned for their fabulous wedding reception after a traditional church ceremony at the nearby St Michael & All Angels in Middleton Tyas. These pictures by  MIKI Photo + Film Studio really capture the essence of the exact day they wanted, a relaxed but elegant and traditional british summer wedding with minimalistic yet sophisticated decor using a white palette with hints of orange and fuschia florals. For Helen's make-up we wanted a timeless glam that complimented the gorgeous styling...

It's only been a few months since Charlotte and Daniel's December wedding, but it feels like many more moons ago when we could all gather together and enjoy a beautiful wedding. It's been a tragic few weeks but don't worry I'm not here to talk about the C word, I think we've all had enough virus chat and worry in our lives lately. I think instead it's a great time to remember what we have to look forward to in the future by binging on some serious wedding inspo, and this gallery will certainly do the trick! Looking back on these shots by the fantastic Katy Melling you can really get a sense of the festive...

In a sea of bright and fanciful wedding photography that is gorgeous in its own right, Nigel John brings to life a different energy in his images. Having worked with him in 2019 twice for the weddings of two gorgeous brides I got the opportunity to see him work his magic and the mesmerising images that were produced after the fact. There is such a deep and earthy feel to what he captures that really feels as if you are in a poignant moment with his subjects when you're viewing them. Just a quick scroll through his Instagram is enough to make you instantly fall in love with his work. There were...

Feeling inspired this week by a quote I wanted to share with you all by Edgar Allan Poe, from his poem 'A Dream Within A Dream': "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" I felt this was a fitting thought to ponder on whilst I show you these pensive shots of some dreamy make-up. These shots were taken in Staithes, North Yorkshire and the make-up I have created was influenced by a 1960's vibe. I used one of my all time favourite products in my kit which is the  Ariane Poole Ultimate Face Tint  to really add to the model's already gorgeous complexion to give it a glowing flawless...

It's Christmas Eve and 2018 is soon coming to a close so I wanted to share with you a set of gorgeous images from one of my last bits of work this year. However first I wanted to take a moment to reflect on how grateful I am for the work I have had the opportunity to be part of in the last 12 months. To have graced the pages of beautiful magazines such as Jules B, Belle Bridal, La Di Da and Unveiled. To have participated in workshops talks, demos in the UK sharing and doing work to support the wonderful charity the Teenage Cancer Trust. I have been so lucky to travel working fashion shows...

Lartington Hall is like one of those hidden gems in the beautiful area of Barnard Castle.   You drive down a long dramatic driveway surrounded by trees and wow you arrive at the entrance with breathtaking amount of marble flooring and floor to ceiling mirrors.   You curve round the corner of the hallway and are welcomed by subtle colours of French duck egg blue and the most exquisite furniture. I have been sitting here trying to decide how to describe this wedding, the only words I can think of is “celebrity wedding oozing with style “ Kyleigh, the bride, was just breathtakingly beautiful...
