For this talented Sunshine Coast makeup artist, weddings are her passion. But that doesn't mean she won't continue to dream about the day she met her celebrity crush Johnny Depp while working on a movie set!

You want a smokey eye for your bridal makeup. But you want it to be bronze with a hint of black definition. You think... And maybe it would look good with a pink lip. Or nude?

In a natural bush setting, three bridal beauties adorn couture lace gowns in the name of bridal fashion and beauty inspiration.

I was recently asked to be in a gorgeous styled shoot with a bohemian bridal theme, set on a property in Maleny in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. So I said to myself, I said, “Sally, why not?

A perfect day. A perfect location. The perfect team of Sunshine Coast wedding professionals on hand to create something truly beautiful.  Romantic, pretty vintage with a Victorian-style double-ended couch in a toothsome blue-grey, an extension of the perfect clear blue sky.  //// This styled shoot has been lovingly photographed by someone who I would describe as a true artist and perfectionist.

The gardens themselves are meticulously maintained and delightfully designed, but…

Oh snap! Cold snap, that is… For those here on the Sunshine Coast, you will know what I’m talking about. The past couple of days, it’s as though the weather just realised it was no longer Summer and decided to finally fall into line and become the middle of Autumn. I’m not complaining, I love cardigan weather!  I also love the warm colours of Autumn that are present in the bridal makeup for our turning seasons shoot in our latest free online wedding magazine. Kate Ellen Makeup Artistry did a superb job of representing not just Autumn, but Winter, Spring…
