I am still trying to put my feet back on the ground since winning Wedding Hairstylist of the Year 2013 with the Essex Wedding Awards on Thursday evening.  Such a surprise as this was my first time attending a Wedding Awards ceremony.  I was amongst some very talented competitors, so to win, was just absolutely amazing and the best feeling in the world.  The evening was hosted by Celebrity Compere, Paul Ross.  Professional photos will appear here soon but you will have to put up with my own for now.  Also would like to say Congratulations to my beautiful bride Sam who married at the Fennes on Thursday and Penny who married at Down  Hall Country Hotel on Friday.

Looking forward to working alongside Capezio today for a photo shoot for their new catalogue due out in January.  Think its going to be a long day.  Photos to follow.

Well, busy is one word describe my past 10 days.  For a change I swapped wonderful weddings with early starts for backstage at the theatre with very very late nights.  What fun it has been and what a contrast in hair and makeup!  Great fun though and I look forward to working backstage at Grease the Musical in Chelmsford next April but back to weddings now and I think Christmas is coming!  I can feel it in the air and in the excitement of my lovely brides who are counting the days down to their weddings.  I will be travelling a bit over the next couple of months to work with brides who are a little further away but its always very exciting.  For the remainder of November and all of December I have lots of trials and weddings too.  January and February is appearing to be a far busier month for me than usual so 2014 is looking to be a busy year for weddings.  Congratulations to Michelle, Emma, Gill, Kayleigh and Lee on all your recent weddings this month.  Here are some photos, with more to follow soon.
