28th December - Cheltenham

A chilly start to visit Katie and her Mum for my last wedding of 2009! When I arrived they were waiting for a phone call from Radio Gloucestershire as Katie's Mum had put in a Wedding day request for Katie. Radio Gloucestershire decided they would interview Katie live this morning to see how her nerves were and I must say she sounded calm and confident! With a light Christmas feel to the wedding, Katie was looking forward to her day at Hatherley Manor Hotel.

19th December - Tortworth Court

Down to the beautiful Tortworth Court this morning to met Becky and her bridesmaids. It was a manic affair as Becky had 8 bridesmaids and a page boy, plus lots of friends popped in to see her. The lovely Chris Fordham was there too, doing hair for the bridesmaids/Mum's. Becky was getting married at Berkeley Castle so had hired a red double decker bus to take all her guests from the hotel to the castle - great idea. To top off the day as I was leaving the snow started to fall giving the day a magical christmas feel!

18th December - Cheltenham

Over to Leckhampton this morning to visit Ruth who was getting married at Clearwell Castle. Chris Fordham was still styling Ruth's hair when I arrived. The house was packed with family but there was only going to be one princess today and that was Ruth, who's only requirement when she met me and Chris was that she looked like a princess!!

6 December - Wickwar

The morning started with decorating fairy cakes and finishing christmas decorations with my son! Then it was off to Wickwar to do makeup for Lessa and her bridesmaid. Leesa loves dark eyeshadow, so chose true smokey eyes which looked great with her dark hair. Rain was pouring down as the hair and makeup was being done but Lessa wasn't concerned as they had already planned on having all the photo's taken inside! Saying that when I left the sun was shining through the clouds.

5 December - Kingscote Barn, Tetbury

Feeling full of the Christmas spirit, I travelled over to Tetbury this morning to meet Caroline, her Mum and sister. They had stayed at the cottage at Kingscote Barn last night and had a lovely girlie evening. Chris Fordham was doing hair and as usual made an amazing hair style for Caroline. While we were getting them ready, we all watched Nigella's Christmas show on TV getting us even more in the Christmas mood! Sarah Cameron was Caroline photography who's just amazing so I'm looking forward to being able to add some great shots of Caroline onto my gallery.
