The Thompsons

So it's been a while since I updated my blog...I've been busy working on a new movie called The Thompsons, directed by THE BUTCHER BROTHERS Mitch Altieri and Phil Flores. The Thompsons is a sequel to an American cult horror called the Hamiltons (released in 2006). The cast and crew are amazing to work with, I'm loving every second, but you know, what with all the towelling down of hot sweaty actors on set and cleaning of fake blood from their torsos, frankly I'm exhausted!!:)

Wedding Belles Cont...

It is such a privilege as a hair and makeup artist to be a part of someone's wedding day, to be there for all of the excitement and last minute nerves and so rewarding to witness the moment that the bride is transformed, about to walk down the aisle looking radiant with glowing hair, beautiful skin, her stunning dress and with a sparkle in her eye.


For me it is a real honour to be part of such an intimate occassion.

As promised here are some wedding photos...

The first images are from the wedding of my gorgeous friend Lai and her lovely new husband Les.

Not only did they have a stunning English style wedding but two days later they had an incredible Chinese wedding ceremony involving a 10 course banquet with Chinese Lion dance in the streets of Soho!

How happy do they both look together!

This photo makes me laugh! : )
Sorry Les I had to add it - I love it!



And these shots are from another gorgeous friend of mine, Sian who married the lovely Trevor on what had to be the hottest day of the year in Little Venice, north London.

An amazing party in the evening, such a fun night - loved the dance offs that were taking place!
