Real Wedding: Tyler and Liam

Tyler and Liam’s wedding day at Deer Park Heights, Queenstown.

After deciding that leaving their family to have photos taken on their day was not an option, the couple chose to shoot two days before the wedding for a sunset hour at Deer Park Heights, Queenstown. This was the best of both worlds, being fully present with all those who matter as well as spending precious time with only each other. There may have been some goats tagging along for the shots too!

Tyler’s bridal look is a dream of sophistication, class and elegance with the sleek style of dress, hair and natural makeup by me. You should definitely be saving this as your inspiration!

WHY we're the perfect match

Paige did makeup for my wedding in Queenstown, and she was incredible. I wanted the no makeup look, she got the brief and did a beautiful job. I was complimented all throughout the day. It is such a shame we are leaving New Zealand soon as I would definitely be seeing Paige again.

Paige is an incredible makeup artist, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she walked in, she was calm and professional. I didn't have time for a makeup trial with Paige, due to travelling from Australia, but she listened to what I wanted and knew exactly what to do. I honestly felt so beautiful, I got so many compliments from guests at how flawless my makeup looked.

Paige was exceptional and I was beyond happy with my makeup look. She did such a beautiful job for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding. She is very friendly and it was lovely to spend the morning with her too. I will only go back to Paige for any future makeup needs.

I was incredibly lucky to have Paige as my makeup artist for my wedding. She did such an amazing job not only on myself, but for my bridesmaids too. I had a trial with Paige a few months prior to the wedding, and all correspondence with Paige was easy and she put at ease all of my concerns. I absolutely loved my makeup on the day. If you need your makeup done for any special occasion or event, I would highly recommend Paige.
