X inspired glam 🎨🧚‍♀️ got me feeling like my 2016 self with this colourful glam and a day spent playing with makeup!

putting my new found mat leave free time to good use clearly 🤭

As the most exciting, busy, fulfilling season of my career comes to an end and arguably the most exciting, busy, fulfilling season of my personal life begins, I thought i’d better share a little update as to my plans for maternity leave 🐣♥️⭐️

I’ll be off on maternity leave from 1st May 2026 - January 2027. During this time i’ll be away from dms & emails and trying to have a proper period of time off with our bubba. I’ll be returning to work doing a small number of weddings in 2027 (almost fully booked and so grateful for my brides 🥹🥺)

To my 2027 brides, I will periodically glance at my emails. If you have any major updates please mark your emails to me *urgent*. Otherwise I will check in with you in December 2026 ♥️

I’ll miss all your pretty faces during this time but I am sooo excited to enter this new chapter and enjoy the little family i’ve always dreamed of 🥹 Thank you for everything always & catch up again when I’m a whole mama!!! what the heck!!!

Thank you to the lovely photogs I get to work with for these special pics of me and belly apprentice, can’t wait to show them their wedding season debut one day 🥺🥹

quick pause on the wedding posts to share this grad glam for my angel regular .mmabennett 🎓
