Bridal Beauty Portraits

Photography by Coralee & Alex / Makeup by Sox Teng / Eyelashes lovingly applied by Helen Wong from Cerise Lashes / Hair styled by Terry Chan from BC Hair

I love seeing pictures of brides with their eyes closed. Some of my favourite wedding photos are the ones where the photographer has captured the essence of the bride in a portrait, in the most unconventional way. The makeup artist's work shines but the bride's quiet happiness and excitement shines through more.
Here are just a few of my favourites from real weddings that I've seen floating around the interwebs.

Photography by Ciara Richardson via Barefoot Blonde / Photography by Clayton Austin via Green Wedding Shoes 

Photography by Max Wanger via Cupcakes and Cashmere

Photography by Brooke Adams Photography via The Lane / Photography by Laura Izumikawa via Green Wedding Shoes

Photography by Marcel and Meher Photography via Style Me Pretty (check out this wedding, all the earth and gold details were amazing and not only was the bride beautiful, but the bridesmaids were too!) / Photography by The Carrs Photography via Green Wedding Shoes

Photography by Clayton Austin via Green Wedding Shoes (definitely check out this bride's gorgeous dress) / Photography via Sugar Love Weddings (definitely check out this relaxed and beautiful North Sydney wedding!)

Photos with eyes up are fun too, but catching those moments that are candid and unexpected are probably the best :)

p.s. Sorry the posts this week have been a bit lacking thus far... I've been busy running after the puppy bear, playing and keeping a watchful eye on him making sure he doesn't do his business indoors! By the time he is asleep I'm too exhausted to think!
