Lux-Life Wedding Awards

Global Wedding Awards

I am totally overwhelmed that I was even thought of by LuxLife Magazine. I will create my last bridal hair on the 28th December this year and I know I will miss the excitement and run up to all those lovely brides wedding mornings but last year my Daughter was diagnosed with Type1 Diabetes and I had to choose between my studio and the weddings. I had to make a tough decision and my studio won.  When Florence gets sick 9 out of 10 she will be hospitalised. I can reschedule clients and work evenings etc when my husband comes home from work but I cannot reschedule a wedding and I couldn’t live with myself having to let a bride down on their wedding day. So as hard as it was, this is the main reasoning behind my decision.  So to have been given this award had been such an honour. 

The following words are from the Lux Life Magazine and at the bottom of the page is a link to their website and list of all winners. 

Worth billions, the wedding industry is a vibrant and electric space filled with dedicated individuals who are working tirelessly to create a truly memorable event for their clients. With couples constantly looking for new and creative ways to share their special day, the market has become incredibly diverse. Many media outlets focus on wedding dress and venue providers; however, LUX-life Magazine know that there is so much more to the industry than that. Encompassing everyone from wedding planners and decorators through to tailors, hotels, caterers, drivers and everything in between, the market is filled with businesses that deserve recognition for their hard work and commitment.

Our Wedding Awards provide this and showcase the brightest and best from across the wedding industry. Every day these firms are creating unique experiences that their clients will treasure forever, and we are honoured to be able to shine the spotlight on them and give our readers a tantalising glimpse into the hard work that goes on behind the glitz and the glamour.

tori & sean's beautiful belfast wedding

Okay people, I have already shared Tori and Sean's wedding day trailer, but this is their whole wedding day film. It has been beautifully captured by two of my favourite people, cinematographers Matt and Abby, the creative duo behind http://www.forever-social.co.uk/ If you haven't already booked yourself someone to capture your wedding day, well these guys are for you. Seriously, not only are they totally lovely people, but they will knock your socks off with their crazy talents. Book them!!!! 

Creating Tori's hair for her wedding day was such a privilege. From our first meeting in Clements with her mummy we got on. She just has such a beautiful soul. Tori's bridal choices were all people and designers I love. Lizzie Agnew made her wedding gown and I think you'll agree how stunning it was. Sandra from Blue Meadow Bridal designed her headpiece and bridesmaids hairpieces too. All beautifully handmade with the finest pearls and gems.  

Tori and Sean also had photographer http://www.laurajcurran.com/  capture all their wedding day moments and if you check her out you will see how amazingly talented she is too. Laura is warm and friendly and I would recommend her to any couple getting married.

jump the broom

I married my best friend on Friday 25th November 2011 in the Ulster Museum in Belfast. My long time friend and photographer Emma Campbell captured our big day. She was an absolute star! Professional, funny, warm and all my guests loved her. I highly recommend Emma for your wedding day too. She captures moments beautifully.  Check out Jump the Broom and you'll even see me and my hubby featured.

Utterly Engaged

My first international editorial published in a wedding magazine was Utterly Engaged. An American wedding blog. It was their first ever published magazine, Everything up to that point had been all online publishing. I was honoured to be part of this shoot. It was a collaboration with the crazy talented and equally lovely photographer Paula O'hara and wedding planner and stylist Alise Taggart. Floral Earth created the flowers and I got to work alongside my friend and extremely talented makeup artist Jennifer Ireland. Michael from Story of Eve shot the whole day on film and it was stunning!

Models Ruta Mineikyte and Piaras Smyth rocked as always :)

We had a blast creating this shoot. When you see the behind the scenes film at end of this post you'll see my wee pregnant belly, that is now my beautiful daughter Florence. 

First Editorial Published in America
