Jess & Steve in Russell

Jess & Steve came home from Hong Kong to celebrate their wedding with their family and friends at Omata Estate in Russell

I joined them along with Suzy Poole for make up early on Jan 19

These lovely ladies were friends from way back in primary school

They had the most gourgeous red/watermellon coloured dresses and Jess’s dress was exquisite

Here are my quick shots until i get some of their professional one…enjoy

Mel & Ryan

Mel & Ryan came all the way from Western Austrailia to share their wedding with their families in Kerikeri.

What a beautiful day it was.

I joined the girls at their little hideaway at Wharepuke Cottages, along with Lynnette Watson for make up. We had a lovely time.

Such beautiful women and exquisite dresses.

Shine Photographers from Waiheke Is captured these lovely shots in our little paradise up here.

Thanks for including me in your day

My amazing time with Patrick Cameron

Since winning the ‘Patrick Cameron Photographic Challenge 2012’, I have been looking forward to receiving the BIG part of my prize.

Namely spending 4 hours training one on one with Patrick and the rest of the afternoon with him and a few others lunching.

Wow, what an experience.

I learnt 5 major styles and them others thown in as we progressed throughout our time.

Training with Patrick is so great, as he works step by step. So I learnt a style from it’s foundation up.

Now I’ll be able to adapt these styles as I wish for my own clients.

Infact since last Monday I have used what I learnt every day.

Yes, I’ve had two weddings, two wedding trials and two friend going to a wedding…full on, but oh so good.

check out my styles.
