Laurel Stratford Hair Stylist

Hayley, Michael & their family came to Russell to get married November 1 instead of staying in Australia to do it.

Haha the weather did not do the business, Wild wint and rain. Not the best but such is life. So the ceremony was held at The Duke of Marlborough where their reception was planned.

Loved doing hair for Hayley and her Family for this challenging weather scenario and stoked to see how it performed.

The gorgeous Sophie.

First time as a model, she was fantastic. Helped also having a big sister who loves being in front of the camera and takes plenty of shots behind as well.

Sophie had fine long hair.

Often I have Brides & Bridesmaids who worry that nothing can be done with their very fine hair. I guess working in the salon environment I have built up a lot of experience with all hair types. Also having a broad knowledge of products is a huge help.

Fine hair is my favourite hair type to work with. It photographs so well. It’s delicate and it’s softness is perfect for undo’s.
