New to the blog this month is The Featured Wedding Supplier post! Every now and again I’ll be featuring a personally selected Hampshire wedding supplier to you and this month, I’d like to start of with Claire of Uptown Curls. You may know her from her time in Weymouth where she is known as Curly Claire and where she worked for more than 10 years! Although she still works there on occasion, she has now moved to Southampton and covers the rest of Hampshire. I first met her through the Lovely and Unique Wedding Fairs and you’ll often find her at their events, with her trusty mini salon offering brides-to-be advice and mini trial sessions. She has even managed to tame my own unruly locks and is now my hairdresser as she was the first person to listen to what my issues are with my hair and actually TEACH me how to look after my curls instead of constantly trying to a) either cut all my hair off, or b) straighten the life out of it.
So here is Claire from Uptown Curls at The Great Barn at Titchfield.
These are a sample of the hairstyles she created whilst there (models are also wedding suppliers – Moos Candy Bar & Vintage Sweet Shop, Behind the Scenes Events, Dolly’s Beauty.)
And here are a handful of photos from a photoshoot we did together in the New Forest Heather (click on the link to see more from the shoot and for details of other suppliers involved!)
I’m looking forward to working more with her with brides this year!
Most of the above photos were shot on film (fuji800z and fuji400N) although there are a couple of digital ones in there too! This blog post is part of my monthly blog circle of film photographers from around the world though so please come and take a look at Jen Golay’s blog post here for her contribution this month.
