SPAIN – My first stop in Europe… I manifested Europe this year…and it happened. Manifest. Manifest. Manifest… it works :)

What an amazing Spanish adventure. Shooting with Mister Zimi being one of the highlights! What an epic couple of days, such an awesome crew!

And thank you Malen from LAYER BOOTS who took me under her wing and looked after me in my state of zombie like jet-lag, she introduced me to Barcelona and let me stay in her home and sent all my winter clothes back to Australia for me (yep, i packed for winter, had no idea European summers were so hot!)

But those beaches in northern Spain… drool. absolutely stunning!! no words! Definately a highlight!

Next stop… VENICE, ITALY…

TACOOLA

Such a dreamy beautiful collection by new label Tacoola Swimwear. We shot in a cool house located in Byron Bay, on a cold winters morning, greeted by rainbows and rain. Grace Pitts sang for us on her guitar, sweet sweet tunes to keep us all smiling. We made some magic! With a fab team…

BYRON BRIDES 2015

 A selection of pics from some of the Byron Bay wedding’s i’ve done over the past year… :)

Wedding season is pretty epic in Byron! –  Im pretty much booked out every weekend from September through to Dec, it’s a busy but wonderful time! …i get to see so many happy brides looking so beautiful! I did most of the HAIR in this blog except for one wedding (long haired blonde bride Chantelle, walking down isle with her dad, me on makeup & @Jarrah_Hustler_Hair). The lovely Alexis (@spicymelons on instagram) does a lot of the makeup at the weddings i am involved in. When there’s too many faces for me to do all on my own, I call upon Alexis or Jarrah (@jarrah_hustler_hair),Ashlea Penfold or Ava Belle Bridal.

As Saturday approaches, so does another wedding, lots of love and happiness to all the Brides out there this weekend!

(Thank-you to the brides for letting me share your photos on my Blog, much love xxx)

SPELL BRIDAL ’15

No words to describe this island except – Paradise. Was such a treat shooting the very first SPELL BRIDAL campaign here on Rawa Island with the sweet angel Louise Mikkelsen. I kept her look very natural, embracing the island vibe of tanned duey skin, and beachy blonde textured waves. Spelly worked her magic on-set creating a dream island bridal setting which was beautiful captured by Johnny Abegg, behind the camera.

Hope you enjoy this shoot as much as me! Dream bride!!
