Eden 💕✨
Every bride is special, if you have the biggest, flash wedding ever or you are getting married in your garden, it makes no difference to me…a bride is a bride !
But this one really got me, she got me good !
I sat in my car after I had finished, as I usually do ..eating my car snacks. And I had a real moment 😭💕
Years ago I had looked after Eden for her school balls and now she was becoming a wife ..I had met her as a young girl and is now a young women starting married life 💕
So if you ever see me welling up on your driveway whilst stuffing usually a banana and protein bar guys, don’t be alarmed 😊

Let's set the record straight! Your wedding makeup should enhance your natural beauty, photograph beautifully, and most importantly, make you feel like the best version of yourself. 🤍

Which bridal makeup myth have you heard before?

A few school ball girls I’ve had the honour of glamming lately ✨
