Andrea & Patrick

Andrea and Patrick married February 8 2020 before life got tricky here in NZ. They live in Melbourne and Andrea’s family traveled from Canada to join them.

Their ceremony was held at the beautiful Liddington Gardens.

The day saw Makeup Artist Samantha Buhl and I join the Ladies at The Stone Store Lodge for their wedding prep. This was an intimate affair where we did the Bride and her family, no offical Bridesmaids.

Photographer Jess Burges captured their day. Flowers Paradise Florist.

One weekend, two weddings, both couples living in Singapore, both got married in Russell,Bay of Islands, NZ.

The weekend of January 25 & 26 2020 was a crazy busy weekend.
Yes that’s right we had two weddings, both couples live in Singapore, both into sports, both got married in Russell & had their reception at The Duke of Marlborough. Using myself, makeup artist, photographer & florist. Even the Bridesmaids gowns were similar. 😍

Saturday’s wedding was smaller with Merle & Andrew.

Our second couple Kelly & Adam had a much larger group of 10 to do. Mums, Flowers Girls, Bridesmaids and of course our Bride.

Our lovely Bride & wedding party had a very early start(5am) over summer at Waitangi. The Bride & Groom were set to do a ‘first look’ at 12. We had them ready by 11am, allowing the girls to finish getting ready and get a few more photos.
TheRe were a variety of styles for the Bridesmaids and a beautiful messy low bun for Ellen, who’s hair was just in the should length, fine and naturally curly. Add in some gorgeous flowers and she was good to go. Love how her whole look came together.

Its always fun when you arrive to wedding hair and realise that you know some of the wedding party.

These young women were good fun to bee with and help glam them up for Amy’s big day.

Amy had superfine hair and was a bit worried she wouldn’t have enough volume for this style. I love fine hair so I was in my element.

love these moments

It’s always cool when I’m involved with friends getting married. Doing the Bride’s & her Family’s hair, then getting myself ready and joining them at their wedding. So it was with Steve & Jan in September.
Loved getting Jan and her girls hair ready at her home in Auckland, then off to Mt Eden park up the RV, change and head to Mantells for the wedding.

Every detail so gorgeous. Check out the images below.
