What is a timeless hair and make-up style that I'll look back on and love for years to come?

Choosing a classic style will ensure that your photos never look dated. For me, it's all about a natural, soft, romantic look – because natural beauty never goes out of style. For your make-up, that means achieving a flawless, glowing finish, without it looking like you're wearing much on your skin. This is something that make-up artists are very skilled at. A dewy, fresh-faced finish helps with the subtlety here, giving a bright, healthy look.

For the lips, opt for a nude shade that complements your skin tone – your make-up artist will be able to match products to your complexion. Try a light smokey effect on the eyes to really draw attention to them. You can't go wrong with a classic flick of eyeliner; you just have to decide if you want to go small and understated or more daring.

For the hair, add a little texture with some effortless waves and tease into a low bun, perhaps loosely twisting the front section for added shape, and let a couple of strands fall around the shoulders to frame the face. This will complete an elegant look that's as timeless as it comes.
