The 17th of September

The 17th of September is one of my favourite days of the year (other than my birthday in March). And for a number of reasons.. One of them being, I got to do Nicola’s bridal makeup that day. It was a beautiful spring day, not a cloud in sight. Warm weather, luckily not to hot or cold.

I had met Nicola at a Morrells Bridal Showcase earlier in the year, she had booked me the following week. We had her trial fairly early in the year as she had an engagement shoot. I recommend a pre-wedding shoot as you get to know your photographer and understand how they work.  You and your fiancé get an idea of how to pose in front of the camera and become comfortable with your photographer. It is you most photographed day after all!

Nicola wore her hair as she always did, loose and straight. She had a beautiful diamond hair clip, clipped on the side for some detail. Simple and elegant. Nicola also had a spray tan done by me. She has a beautiful olive skin, so we did a natural colour to enhance her own tone as we were leaving our winter. Well, I hope Nicola’s wedding brings some warmth to your day, the weather is changing in Jozi. Winter is on her way.

A White Wedding

Man, has life suddenly turned up a notch or two! We have had all these lovely public holidays for us to share with friends and loved ones. Even I have found it difficult to snap out my holiday daze as well as keep up with a busy month of spray tanning and makeup. I also had an awesome gig with Jose Cuervo, DjFresh and Euphonik from 5Fm. Luckily we will be back on track from May onwards. My new website will be going live one of these days. I will send you all the details when my web designer and wonderful designer are done.

Well we can’t have all write and no play. I actually saw Kirsty the other day, she had recently given birth to her first daughter. She is majestic, just like her mother. Kirsty had actually dressed her bridesmaids in white. Who would have thought? Only Kirsty, I would protest if my bridesmaids, friends or family would have thought to suggest it. However when I saw Kirsty and all her girls in white, I was in awe! Ps Kirsty and a few of the girls had spray tans for the wedding that I had done for them. Natural and Kirsty's color is fab with her white dress.

I hope you had a wonderful long weekend x
