Bride's hairstyle

The bride's hairstyle is an important detail in which thinking. It should be in accordance with the bride's style, the dress and the kind of wedding. Because I know that it is not an easy task, here I show you some inspiration with simple and romantic styles that will be easy to combine it with every kind of dress.

For the more daring I leave flower crowns, exclusive and giving a touch of spring. I love them! Also precious headgears of the Spanish designer Doloris Petunia. But definitely my favorite style is the low ponytail or loose hair parted in the middle. A sophisticated and elegant bride with a young and fresh look.

I also selected a look with Cordovan hat with golden flowers, which gives an elegant touch of Spain to the style.

And finally I selected a disheveled hairstyle which give a sweet and romantic look to the bride while offering a relaxed and youthful style.

I hope it helps! Sure you will look fabulous if you choose some of these! xx

Morning, I thought I would brighten up this miserable day with the bright shimmers of summer-yellow!!!! Sunflowers are a beautiful flower that has a real impact and the wow factor. They can be teamed with various colours such as navy and coral.
But to keep it natural they also work really well with beige, and browns!

A Blushing Bride 2B Questionnaire

 

Who are you?

I’m Emily Woodrow, a local qualified photographer based in Norfolk and I run a tailor made photography service. I have a fun and creative approach to my work which allows me to catch the vibrancy of people and life on camera. I specialise in a number of areas from weddings to family portraits and offer a truly personalised service to those I work for. I take time to find out exactly what you want out of your photos through a pre-shoot consultation, and then keep in contact up to the day of the shoot.

How did you get into your chosen career?
Since I can remember, I was fascinated by cameras, whether it was me buying disposable cameras with my pocket money or using my Grandad’s Pentax SLR camera.  Recently I was sorting through my old room at my parents house and actually came across a photograph that I had taken at the age of 8 of my pets lined up against a patio wall with a blanket draped over it (as a backdrop).
After school, I followed my heart and took my A levels in Art & Photography (and 2 academic subjects to keep people happy). To learn as many subjects in art as possible, I then spent a year at the College of West Anglia and achieved a distinction in diploma in Art & Design.  I then specialised in Photography at Anglia Ruskin University and received a 2.1 BA Hon’s. 
Straight after graduation, I began my career from photographically documenting my backpacking trip around the world.  It may seem odd to compare photographing an erupting geyser to guests throwing confetti at a newlywed couple but the result of both photographs took the skills of clicking the shutter at the exact moment using the correct camera settings and with the best composition.
After returning to the UK I worked as a Bounty Photographer at the Norwich and Norfolk Hospital and began investing in studio equipment to begin portraiture photography at client’s homes.  During this time I started offering my services as a wedding photographer to close friends which led me to work with other photographers as a second shooter.  Eventually my free photo work and 2^nd shooter days paid off and guests and staff from weddings recommended me to their friends and before I knew it I was doing wedding photography by myself.

 What services do you offer to brides?

I offer a range of services which include:-
A Pre Wedding Photo shoot - (so that you can get used to the camera) and also bring along with you to the wedding for guests to sign. 

 Boudoir Photography - accompanied with a makeup artist/hair stylist.  My colleague Kat will do your hair & makeup so that you are as glamorous and confident as ever! This photo shoot is recommended to take place before a night out so that you can show off your hair and makeover. This could be the start of your hen party and your photograph will make the ideal gift as wedding present to your husband.

The Wedding Packages

 Favourite part of your job?

The best part of the job is capturing the emotions; the groom-to-be attempting to look confident whilst waiting for his bride but completely failing, the proud father walking his little girl down the aisle and holding back his tears and then the bride and grooms moments as their eyes meet for the first time at the altar.

 Any special offers on at present?

I am currently offering a 5% discount to my Gold or Platinum Wedding Package to all 2014 weddings!

Bridal Make up trends!

Bridal Make‐up Trends

The recent entrance of this new year can awaken concern about the changes in the trends in bridal make up. Follow this five simple tips that will leave you looking radiant on your 2014 wedding.

The essential bridal make-up trends that you need to know this year are focused on the eye brows, cheeks, lips and on the eyes.

The perfect brow is the ideal finish to a flawless bridal look, and in contrast with the trend with bridal eye brows the last couple of years, the tendency for 2014 are thick well groomed and darkened eye brows.

Another key point is the cheeks. Nothing says bride like a flushed glowing cheek!

To get that, choose peach or pink blush colours with golden undertones. The icing on the cake for a perfect make up, are the lips. Many brides the last years, opted for neutral in colour on their wedding day which can look pretty in person but can sometimes get lost in your photo's. The good news is that 2014 brings bright fuchsia, rosy red and tomato red to wedding day lips leaving you looking great in person and in photo's too! An finally, a good news, whether you're going for a smoky eye or a neutral eye, liners are all the rage for 2014 brides! Choose a little winged liner near your upper lash line or soft smoky smudge of colour just under your lash line....liners make the eyes pop!
