Lauren and I met many moon cycles ago at work when I was doing her makeup and she was just starting out as a model. I'm sure you'll be able to tell from her stunning wedding images she's very good at her job.

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.

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...
