I am finally back to weddings! (well hair and eyes only just now) but it feels good. I had my first wedding of the year yesterday and the venue where I was getting the Bride ready was just stunning. The venue was near to Gatehouse of Fleet. I have visited the area for weddings but never got as far as the Coast line so it was lovely (and the sun shining helped after all the rain). Bride Belinda wanted a half updo with soft curls that would last the day. I created curls with

Late last year (when makeup briefly opened up) I was part of an amazing photoshoot with the fab Naomi House Photography The venue was the stunning Kinmount House. There were 3 looks in total, this was the Boho inspired one. It was great to be part of this shoot and even better to be featured in From Brides With Love. Thank you to everyone involved making this a great shoot and looking forward to working with you again. Dresses https://www.carolsbridalcarlisle.co.uk/ Menswea

Things have been a bit crazy this year but I have been lucky and managed a few wee weddings. In Scotland mobile makeup still isn't allowed (it hasn't been since March)! But I have been lucky enough to have a few elopements in Glencoe for hair styling. Laura was originally planning on going to Ibiza, but then Covid happened, so decided on eloping to Glencoe. It may not be Ibiza but the wedding looked magical going by the amazing photos from Abrightside Photgography. For Lau

Instead of pointing a camera at subjects all day and documenting what is happening in front of the lens, I look to utilise real visual storytelling through composition of the shots and making use of natural lighting and reflections in a creative manner. I also pay attention to any spoken words through the day and try tell

With plenty of time on my hands I have been practicing more hair styling. I had been keeping busy doing makeup looks on myself but feel that I need a change from my face ;) For this style I wanted to creat something more sleek and I used the cute Shooting Star Pin from Crown and Glory. I have a few bridal hair accessories coming soon, I'm looking forward to creating some styles using them. #hairstyle #weddinghair #weddinghairstyles #weddinghairscotland #bridalhairscotland #b

A look back to some of my favourite weddings in 2019.

I have struggled to write my blog over the past few weeks. I couldn't think of anything to write about. I now feel that I have a bit more of a routine at home.

On Monday I was in Glasgow to attend a Masterclass with the amazing and super talented Kasia Fortuna. As you know I have attended a few Hair masterclasses and courses and I have been practicing as much as possible. To have the chance to meet and watch Kasia working was amazing. I picked up so many hints and tips and feel I have come a long way in a short space of time. The morning session was a chance to watch Kasia and see the products and techniques she uses to create the

I was part of a fab photoshoot in Glencoe in January. I loved doing the hair and makeup for this shoot. Great team involved.

Festive Season is here. Merry Christmas to everyone from Makeup by Hania.

November has been a busy month for Weddings at Friars Carse. I still have one more to do there in 2019 and it's an elopement so I am looking forward to that, such a nice way to end the year. Last Saturday was the Beautiful Lyndsay's special day and the weather couldn't be better. It was a very cold and crisp day. It was perfect in every way. Lyndsay opted for a very natural eye look, with fresh and glowy skin and topped off with the lovely Charlotte Tilbury Dancefloor Pri
