Golden Soul Tanning

Karly, Karly, Karly 🤩
These photos speak VOLUMES. I am dying.

8 weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of spray tanning Karly for her wedding day 🤍

The goal was to even out her skin tone, add warmth and complement that timeless, elegant wedding vision without taking away from what was already naturally there.

And honestly, this is exactly what I believe bridal tanning should be — enhancing, not masking.

Her bridal glow speaks for itself. Soft, seamless, polished… you could honestly second-guess whether it was even a spray tan or just her natural glow.

Absolutely obsessed with this whole moment. ✨

Which ones your favourite 🫣🤭😂

SEPTEMBER, where the hell did you go 👀

Balancing mum life, self-care, work + all the moments in between like an overstimulated hot mess 😂

Brides + beautiful clients coming through the tanning room, solutions constantly on reorder, restocking ALL the things — at this point I possibly need to buy shares in sticky feet + disposables 😩

School holiday chaos, a caravan trip to Augathella (9hrs away 🫠), Nanna Pat’s funeral, straight back into work, then a weekend at Hold It Flats, reading a series anywhere + everywhere I possibly could, and a little spontaneous Airlie getaway with my girls. 🥹

September felt BUSY… but the good kind.

The kind where my camera roll is a mixture of beautiful brides, bronzed legs, parcels, kids, work selfies, sunsets + whatever book I’m currently carrying around 😂

Running Golden Soul while raising three little humans means there’s rarely a clean line between work life + home life anymore — it all just kind of exists together.

How do I do it? Honestly… I really don’t know 😂 but every week I give it a bloody good crack

Some weeks we absolutely thrive. Some weeks we simply survive. Most weeks it’s probably a mixture of both. 🤎

September, thanks for the meme
Now onto October ✨

This gorgeous human’s ENGAGEMENT PARTY 🤍💍

This is one of those full-circle moments that gets me a little emotional. 🥹

From once being a brand new client walking through my doors… to someone I now get to see regularly.

I’ve heard about graduating nursing, 21st and other birthday celebrations, the engagement parties + weddings she was attending, the everyday life updates in between…

And now I get to spray her for HER OWN ENGAGEMENT PARTY. 😭🤍

Like COME ONNNN.

This is the part of Golden Soul that will forever mean more to me than just spray tanning.

You come in for a tan, but somewhere along the way I get to watch you move through different seasons of your life — graduations, relationships, engagements, weddings, babies, birthdays + everything in between.

And getting to be a tiny part of those moments over the years is pretty bloody special.

From “nice to meet you” to “OMG YOU’RE ENGAGED!” 🥹💍

This is why I love what I do. 🤎

iPhone vs professional photos — SAME Bridal Glow. 🤎

What a difference lighting, cameras + professional editing can make to how your spray tan appears!
And this is why choosing the right Bridal Glow artist matters

Every photo here beautifully captures Liv’s day, but swipe through and you’ll notice how her glow can look slightly different between an iPhone photo and professionally edited images by Wedding Photography + Videography

Different lighting, camera settings, locations + a photographer’s individual editing style can all change how the depth, warmth and tone of your Bridal Glow translates in photos.

After 4 years of specialising in bridal tans, you learn a thing or two. 😉 It’s not just about choosing a colour that looks beautiful standing in my tanning room.

I’m thinking about how you want to feel in real life, your natural colouring, your dress, the time + setting of your wedding AND how the glow is going to translate through professional photography 📷

Because your Bridal Glow needs to work in more than one light. ✨

Bride Liv, her sister G + Petria were all sprayed by Golden Soul using customised Bella Bronze Tan | Tan & Body Care blends. 🤎

IT’S ESSENTIAL, IF YOU ASK ME ✨

And you cannot tell me any different 😂

No plans? That’s okay. Suddenly those cute PJs hit different when you’re bronzed.

Hot girl walk? The shorts are ON. Legs are out. Glow is glowing.

Baby shower? Cute outfit + fresh tan. Obviously.

Wedding guest? Photo ready from every angle. 📸

Big event? Your glow is basically an essential accessory — hair, makeup, outfit, tan. The look isn’t finished without it.

And even when absolutely nobody is going to see it… YOU know it’s there. There’s something about glowing skin that just brings out a more confident version of you.

Because seriously…

Has anyone EVER said,
“Ugh, she’s extra moody since she got that spray tan”?

No. Correct. 😂🤎

Bronzed behaviour only.
