Claire Brown got married at the perfectly styled countryside location of Coltsfoot Country Retreat Hertfordshire on the only warm sunny day over the Bank Holiday weekend in August! Claire wanted a hairtsyle with plenty of volume and drama as it’s the one time in a girls life when she can afford to have a dramatic hairstyle and something she wouldn’t be able to re-create herself. Here are a few pictures.

Natasha got married on the 24th July in Hemel, Hertfordshire and it was an absolute pleasure in helping Natasha create her dream hairstyle and make up look! The brief was to achieve a flawless finish using the minimum amount of base and eye make up my bride wanted to keep it natural but have enough impact to wow her guests and of course the groom. I’m happy that I helped in making Natasha’s wedding day even more memorable.

Today my travels took me to the very picturesque and tranquil settings of Notley Abbey, situated just outside of Thame Notley Abbey dates back to the 12th century and is thoroughly modernised bringing it into the 21st century. The venue boasts fabulous grounds and therefore wonderful photo opportunities. My bride Stacy who was getting married here is originally from Kent but fell in love with Notley Abbey after having researched many venues in Kent and surrounding counties she felt that it justified the extra travel for her and her guests, I agree!

Laura contacted me a couple of months ago and although it was short notice I was able to help Laura out and create her dream hairstyle and make up look for her wedding which took place in Waltham Abbey on a gloriously hot afternoon! As you can see from the pictures Laura selected a messy updo with curls and beautiful pearls set within some of the curls, we also used very pretty silk roses that set the hairstyle off beautifully giving the bride a wonderfully fresh, stylish and contemporary bridal updo!

This weekend was yet another busy one and I can now say that the wedding season has started and I love it! All my happy brides, bridesmaids and mums. It’s wonderful to be part of the preparations on the special day and it’s a huge compliment when I and my assistant can help make the atmosphere and bring a sense of fun, calm and control to a chaotic time.
My trips this weekend took me to Welwyn for 7am on Saturday morning where my 2 brides were getting ready for their ceremony to take place pretty early in the morning!! After this it was off to Bedfordshire and Biggleswade then back to London Colney and finally a client in St Albans…phew yes a busy Saturday.
Sunday was long day in London and I’m not a huge fan of driving in the capital but Sundays aren’t too bad as parking is less restricted my brides to be were very pleased with their results and I’m hoping to get some fresh pictures up soon.
Finally, it’s always a huge sense of joy and signals the end of another busy day, when I can finally tap in home in the car sat nav system……get me home double quick!

I recently met Mikaela Morgan at a wedding at the Gatsby Berkamsted where she captured the mood, atmosphere and colour of this wedding I was really impressed at how she managed to take such wonderful images without us noticing as some photographers can get under your feet as the bridal party are getting ready! So bear this in mind brides-to-be when selecting a photographer.
Mikaela believes that your wedding or civil partnership photography should capture the essence and joy of your day. Her style of wedding photography is not just about photographing an event… it’s about people and it’s about capturing all the excitement, anticipation and emotion that drive a wedding.
Mikaela’s style is very natural, relaxed and unobtrusive and she will photograph your wedding in her contemporary, documentary style.
Mikaela covers Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Essex and some parts of London contact her direct for a consultation;
