Ballet themed shoot at Wollaton Hall


Theme: Ballet Dancer
Location: Wollaton Hall
Photographer: Gina Dover-Jacques
Make-up Artist: Rochelle O'Brien
 
When I'm not doing bridal makeup I like to get a bit more creative and do something a little different. When Gina Dover-Jacques (Photographer) approached me about doing a Ballet themed shoot I was very excited to get involved in the project. Wollaton Hall was the chosen location for the shoot to get the atmosphere right for the theme.
 
To be a little more creative the skirt was made of  just two bits of net made to look like a dress and it was shot taken in the tower room at Wollaton Hall.   It just about killed me carrying my kit all the way up to the top (66 stone spiral steps if you're interested) but the room was amazing and the light looks gorgeous in these pictures.  Then we had a quick change of makeup and literally only had five minutes to do a change as the Hall was closing and they wanted us out.   We then changed the makeup to dark eyes and yes, that is Batman in the background!

Sasha's vintage bridal makeup and hair, 1940's style


Bride: Sasha
Make-up Artist: Rochelle O'Brien
Hair Stylist: Charlotte Wesson
Photographer: Lissa Alexandra
 
I'm always so pleased to get official photos from my brides, they just don't compare to anything I take on my BlackBerry.  So when I saw that my bride Sasha from 30 March is featured on Love My Dress blog today, I had to do my own blog post about it.   There are so many amazing pictures taken by Lissa Alexandra but I've picked out a few of my favourites.   I had loads of fun with Sasha who had to be convinced to go for the red lipstick which you can buy it HERE at (Colour is Alabama) as she was a little unsure at first, but I'm so glad she did as she looks amazing.  Sasha and her bridesmaids beautiful vintage hairstyles were created by Charlotte Wesson, always a pleasure to work with. 

Now i'll let the pictures do the talking, if you want to see the rest, take a look at...
