Karen & Wayne’s Wedding – 22 January 2011

The weather was ominous, rain threatened but that did nothing to dampen spirits on Karen and Wayne’s wedding day. The rustic and beautiful Tarureka Estate in Featherston was ideal for the conditions, with the wedding being moved to the Loft. Hil Cook completed Karen’s look with impeccable hair and makeup. I love Hil’s style, nothing fussy or over the top, just right for photography.

Hil Cook’s Solution Buds

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing my good friend and excellent make-up artist Hil Cook. Hil and I have worked on many weddings together and she always creates beautiful and timeless looks for her brides. Hil has invented the fantastic Solution Buds. They are cotton buds filled with makeup remover so you can correct little makeup smudges caused by mascara and eye shadow. She originally made them for her make-up artists to use on high definition tv and movie projects, but soon realised she was on to a winner and I couldn’t agree more. You can by Solution Buds from New World supermarkets and many chemists are stocking them too. Rush out and get some now.
