My friends Matt and Kristine were married last year. It was a great day. A small, intimate affair, with close friends and family. I have now finally managed to upload these pics from the morning and her makeover. Kristine is so easy going and left her make up look totally to me.
When I arrived she was sporting a very familiar checked shirt she pinched from me when pregnant with their son, Jude, I thought, Thats my girl!
She didn't even have a trial. " do what you want, you always get it right- Craig" she told me.''mmmmmmm, lets see" I said. Resisting to draw on a moustache I set to work. Even if I had , she would have found it funny. Don't think she would have walked down the aisle with it though. She asked me to do her hair too. I don't normally do both hair and make up on the day but as it was just her to be pampered and preened it allowed me time to do both.
Bridie - her mum was on hand too. Inspecting the proceedings and casting an eye over every brush stroke and spritz of hairspray. A straight talking, retired 'old school' nursing sister, she pulls no punches. " What a difference Kristine"she said. "it just goes to show what you can do". Yup thats Bridie for you and we wouldn't have her any other way. Then the words "you look beautiful" came and it was all good. I had passed. Sighing Kristine and I necked another glass of bubbly.
I had a vintage feel in mind to match the style of her dress and I took into account her own unique style. I wanted her skin to be dewy and not a classic flat 50's base. A winged liner, some smouldering socket work and hey presto. The red lips worked perfectly with her bouquet of red roses and her gorgeous scarlet shoes. I also dressed up her shoulders, arms and legs with some pearly highlighting powder, just to give her skin a lift on the dance floor and on camera.
Enjoy the pics.
