Wedding Make up FAQs

When it comes to Wedding Makeup (and makeup in general) I get asked a lot of questions and decided to write a blog with some of the most common questions. 1. What foundation do you recommend for mature skin? My personal favourite is definitely Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation. I wear this myself and it’s a favourite of Mother of the Bride/Grooms. It’s more of a tinted moisturiser and is lovely and dewy. I would avoid a matte finish Foundation or anything too heavy, especially around the eye area, for more mature skin. 2. What concealer would you recommend for under eye area? Again, it’s a Charlotte Tilbury product (there’s a theme here, Charlotte knows her stuff). It’s a relatively new product that launched last year, it’s the Magic Away Concealer. This concealer is beautiful under the eye, it’s very light and blends beautifully. It comes with a sponge applicator which is great for personal use. 3. How do you ensure foundation lasts all day for a wedding? The ke…

The Importance of an Engagement Shoot

Engagement sessions are one of my favourite things to photograph. It’s a great opportunity to get to know my couples before their wedding and see how they interact with each other. A lot of people don’t feel comfortable being photographed. This gives them an idea of how I work and puts them at ease before the most important day of their lives!

Reasons I think engagement shoots are great and a must have….

The more time you spend with your photographer the more comfortable you’ll be in front of the lens. A relaxed and happy couple make for much nicer natural images of the two of you. Remember, your photographer will be with you for HOURS on your wedding day capturing all those intimate moments and preserving one of the most emotional days of your life. Not only does this give me the opportunity to get to know you but you also get to know me!
