Unique Bridal Shoot

New Photos!

I joined forces last week with some of my wedding supplier friends for a bridal photo shoot session! 

Bridal shoots are always fun and give a good opportunity to do multiple looks in one day - a good challenge for everybody involved!



So, I thought I'd include a few behind-the-scenes pictures of the shoot in this blog before you see some of the finished images, which I'll post soon.

The makeup stayed the same for all the looks as I wanted something to be constant throughout, but I changed the hair style for every new dress we shot.

The jewellery and hair accessories were all provided by Jess from Hearts n Crowns and I loved how her quirky, pretty and alternative pieces go so well with Ali's vintage-y, one-off Unique Dresses.

We were shooting in Ali's studio where she works her dress-making magic, which you'll see in the lovely garments in the finished pictures which I will post soon!

Thanks to Church Photography for taking the pics!

Look Good... Feel Better



Whoever thinks that makeup can't make a difference to the world... think again.

Look Good... Feel Better is a charity that runs classes in hospitals all over the country (and all over the world), where ladies going through the traumas of cancer and it's treatments can come together and learn about skin care and makeup. Their aim is to empower women with the ability to combat the visible side-effects of their treatment by restoring a positive self-image, confidence and a sense of control.

Participants of these small classes get a lovely goody bag filled with products (all donated by some of the best know beauty brands) and are talked through a step by step process of cleanse, tone, moisturise and makeup application, including eyebrow-pencilling and lashline-emphasising for ladies who are suffering hair loss.

I am proud to be a new volunteer for Look Good... Feel Better, and having just joined I am very much looking forward to my first class at Kingston Hospital in March.

If you know someone who would benefit from a class, or you're a makeup or skin care professional who's interested in volunteering, please go to the Look Good... Feel Better website for more information.
