Ellen & Barney

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.

The Gorgeous Aya & Jacob’s Wedding, December 26 2018.

It was a beautiful day for a backyard wedding tucked away in the outskirts of Kerikeri. My last wedding for the year with just the Bride & one Bridesmaid to style hair for.

These women had met doing English language classes together, the Bride Thai & Bridesmaid Japanese. I love hearing these stories. Both had met their partners while living here.
