New work in NY.

Any bride can look like a cover girl!

The "Cover Girl" look.

Nicole talks cover girls and HOW they always look so good..

"In my opinion anyone can look like a cover girl on their wedding day, in fact you could probably look better because you have the added advantage of that glow every bride I have ever shot has, that only comes from being incredibly in love. 

Of course when it comes to shooting a cover of a magazine a team of experts and years of well honed skills come into play also. 

A photographer holds a casting and selects the model, a stylist reviews the models body shape and colouring and selects the most flattering gown. 

Hair and make up team is put together by the photographer and the team review every aspect of the models face and select just the right hair and make up design to set the entire look off! 

The the model is placed in certain light and a few clicks later you have the cover.

There is really nothing too hard about this process and the same attention to detail approach can be applied to the planning of your day too.

This cover was shot in natural light just like a real wedding. It has undergone minimal retouching as all my images are shot very clean and require next to nothing in post.The magic comes from the clean fashion grading.

Any bride can and should be able to look like a cover girl on her day 

More beauty that highlights simple is stunning..

Bridal beauty tips 101!!!

Even when people in the fashion and beauty industry the world round do not know Nicole, they all seem to know this image. Nicole's most famous beauty image which ironically involves almost NO MAKE UP at all!

Nicole's first tip for brides..

"The most beautiful brides I have ever worked with understood the concept that it isn't how much make up you have applied but how it is applied and by whom.

In the duration of my career from a decade of award winning weddings, then after my transition into international beauty one fact was made crystal clear! There is a huge difference between one make up artist and another.
Make up and hair has the power to either highlight every ounce of your natural beauty and what makes you unique and special or cover it up in a landslide of pedestrian current trends and techniques that do not suit your face.

It's a minefield trying to negotiate how to go about ensuring that you look your absolute best on your once in a lifetime day.
BUT it all starts with whom you select to guide you through the make up process and be there right next to you at that gorgeous start of your gorgeous day."

Nicole's advice to you...

"Select someone who has amazing skills and the body of work to prove it!
Someone who uses a customized approach to each face and is as passionate about how you look on the day as you are.
Never someone who treats you like just another number.
 
Sending my very best wishes for your beautiful day xx"
