Sometimes the inspo pic just gets it right.
The tones, the softness, the placement… everything about this reference worked beautifully with her features.
Rather than copying a look exactly, I always interpret the inspiration to suit the face in front of me. That’s where the magic happens.
Save this one for your next soft glam inspo.

Soft. Smoky. Ethereal.
For this look, I wanted the skin to feel fresh, dewy and beautifully hydrated, with that natural luminosity still coming through.
For the eyes, it was all about softness. Smoky, but without any harsh lines. Everything gently diffused and smoked out at the edges to create that romantic, ethereal feel.
Polished, defined, but never heavy.
This is the kind of makeup I love creating. Skin that still looks like skin, and eyes that have depth without overpowering the face.

Wherever love takes you.
One of the greatest privileges of this career is being able to work between Australia, Italy and Europe, alongside some incredibly talented creatives who often become so much more than colleagues. They become friends, and part of the story.
This photograph was captured by the incredibly talented Italian photographer Andrea, who I’ve had the privilege of working alongside in both Australia and Italy. He has such a beautiful ability to capture not just an image, but the essence of a person and a moment. I was so lucky to have him photograph some of my own profile images, including this one.
If you’re looking for an Italian photographer, I couldn’t recommend him more highly. I’ll tag him here 🤍
The more I travel for my work, the more I realise it really isn’t only about the destination. It’s the people you meet, the friendships you make, the places your work takes you and all the beautiful moments in between.
It’s not just about the destination. It’s about the journey.
And I’m very grateful for mine.

Soft glam doesn’t have to mean soft eyes.
This look is all about fresh, luminous skin with a little more definition through the eyes, so they really stand out while still feeling elegant and timeless.
Would you choose this look for your wedding day?
Save for inspo !
Fairytale wedding
This wedding was an absolute dream in a quintessential Tuscany Villa .
We got to stay in the Villa with the bride for 3 Nights , which was the best experience.
Another Italian wedding booked for 2027 and I couldn’t be more excited. 🤍
If you’re planning a destination wedding, now is the perfect time to start the conversation.
