BIOGRAPHY
"It is so important for me as an artist to make brides look a million dollars on their wedding day but still feel like themselves!"
I specialise in beautiful glowing skin and enhancing everyone’s individuality. I have worked extensively in fashion and TV for the last 16 years and love to bring this professional experience into working with my beautiful brides.
Along side bridal work I work extensively across the industry in Fashion and TV. I have also taught makeup for the last 8 years. I like to use the skills and experience I have in all areas of the industry to keep my bridal and occasion makeup and hair fresh and modern.
I love how good makeup and hair has the ability to make people feel confident and amazing. It is so important for me as an artist to make brides look a million dollars on their wedding day but still feel like themselves!

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT DOING WEDDINGS?
I started specialising in bridal 6 years ago and I adore it. I feel very honoured to be a part of brides wedding morning and very lucky to share such a special time. I still get emotional when a bride does a first reveal in her dress, it gets me very time.
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP TIPS FOR BRIDES-TO-BE?
Make sure you have a good skincare routine in place that you are happy with so your skin is in tip top condition for your big day. Weddings can be stressful but try and enjoy every bit, the run up, the morning of, and of course the actual day.
