Confetti Spring Shoot 2017

A beautiful still captured by Story of Eve. 

Last month I was delighted to have been asked to to do makeup for a spread in the Spring 2017 issue of Irelands leading Wedding Magazine Confetti.  It was showcasing the wonderful designer Catherine Deane and her amazing new collection.  Though born in Ireland, Catherine was raised in South Africa, based in London for many years and now lives in Hong Kong where she bases herself.  She has a boutique in London and has just recently opened in New York! Catherine has also dressed many celebrities including Kim Kardasian, Beyonce, Selena Gomez and Fergie to name but a few.  And once you see her designs it is clear why.

It took place in Springfield Castle in Drumcollogher, Co. Limerick.

I have been lucky enough to work here before for a few weddings - one of which I featured here in a previous blog post of Alexandra. It is the most beautiful setting and perfect for an intimate wedding or even if you had a group of family or girlfriends and wanted something a bit different for a weekend or a few days away. I just wanted to share some of behind the scenes pics. It was a fabulous 2 days and we had a fantastic team. I am so excited to see the finished results.

The look was very unkept, clean skin and a a subtle but smoky eye.  Clare was such a stunning model we had an easy job with her.  

This is a short post as I will do a more detailed one when the feature is out at Christmas, will keep the suspense going for another little while.
