EDITORIAL PHOTO SHOOT AT WILLINGTON HALL

Here are the final images photographed by the very talented photographer Daniella McGreavy at Willington Hall.

Our stunning model Beth's first shoot was a glamorous vintage inspired look!  I wanted the hair to be very glamorous for this so I went for a beautiful wavy style.  The key make-up products I used to create this look were Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Eye Palette in The Vintage Vamp and Kevyn Aucoin Lip Colour in Bloodroses!  For the skin I used a number of Laura Mercier products including Silk creme oil free foundation, universal powder, secret camouflage and secret concealer.   Beth wore a vintage style gold evening dress supplied by one of our stylists Jilly.

Andrew's first look for the shoot was very classic and sophisticated!  

Another look for Beth a 50s inspired look, but keeping it very current too.  I created a very sleek side bun on Beth and changed her lip colour to a a beautiful nude shade using By Terry rouge terribly lipstick in 100 and a little of Kevyn Aucoin The Lip Gloss in Dahliana.  The lovely false lashes are Ardell demi wispies.

Andrew has the most amazing bone structure and stunning eyes so we decided to do a edgy rock inspired look on him.  I used Laura Mercier silk creme oil free foundation with universal powder and Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit in the skin,  For the eyes used shades from the Urban Decay Vice 3 palette!  

Beth's third look was boho themed so I added some more peachy shades to the make-up that included a matt eyeshadow by Inglot and MAC blusher in Dainty!

Thank you so much to Willington Hall for letting us use such a beautiful venue for the photo shoot!  It was a fantastic day with a talented team!

EDITORIAL PHOTO SHOOT AT WILLINGTON HALL - BEHIND THE SCENES

This week I was part of a fabulous team doing an Editorial Photo Shoot at the Stunning Willington Hall in Tarporley.  Willington Hall was the perfect location for the shoot as it is the most stunning property right in the Cheshire Countryside.  It is also a lovely choice for a wedding, I actually did the hair and make-up for a wedding there a year back and the wedding looked truly magical!

I am getting the beautiful model Beth ready for her first look here,

While my friend and Hair & Make-up Assistant Amy Jones and I got the lovely Beth ready for the shoot, the rest of the team made a start on Model Andrew Kenwright's pictures.  Here is Stylist Jilly Shires, Photographer Daniella McGreavy, Model Andrew Kenwright and Stylist Fenella Shires all set to start the shoot!  We were so lucky with the weather as it was such a gorgeous day.

For Andrew's second look I did a rock inspired make-up. He has the most amazing cheekbones and eyes so he carried the look off perfectly!

'I have always had a passion for photography. It started out as a hobby, photographing landscapes and animals. This quickly turned from a hobby into an obsession! It was at this point that I realised I wanted to start a business capturing the special moments. Since then I have completed a btec national diploma in photography and shot numerous weddings, Christining and other special events. No matter what the subject is, if it is special to you, I want to help make it a memory to treasure forever xxx'
