Lizzie contacted me after seeing the Bride on my website ‘all look so beautiful’! How much of a compliment is that!?

I very quickly dismissed …
Catherine wanted a subtle sixties inspired make up look to go with her beautiful Halfpenny Separates Wedding outfit. Like myself, Catherine has hooded eyes so we kept her eyes clean with light reflecting eye shadows, gave her a subtle sixties flick and popped some lashes on to really open her lids. As a no- makeup makeup Bridal Specialist, …
It’s not very often I exhibit at a wedding fair. In fact, other than Landmark I’ve only ever exhibited twice. After so many years in retail I find them MEGA awkward having to just sort of stand there, showcasing my wares and hope someone wants to talk to me about my work. So this year I vowed that that things …
Amanda and I met for a coffee at the Royal Academy of Arts cafe to discuss her wedding hair and make up look. She didn’t want anything particularly Bridal.

My gorgeous, vivacious Taryn booked me to do her wedding hair and make up through her wedding planners Carmela Weddings.

The control freak OCD- when- it- comes- to- …
Kate and I shared stories about our similarly crazy upbringings and speaking without a filter over Pornstar Martinis in The Archduke.

A kind hearted, passionate Bride, wanting to look unashamedly epic for her wedding day …
Kat and I met on a VERY chilly January morning at Carluccios in the city. We talked about her past experiences with make up and hair styling- she wasn’t particularly enthralled with either of the previous given looks, and wanted a Make Up Artist and Hair Stylist that would help her reflect her personality, from both before and during motherhood. …
If you’ve been on a wedding blog recently, you’ll see it’s full of inspiration. I’m here today to offer a different kind of inspiration. The kind of inspiration that hopefully will appeal to the kind of ladies that don’t generally look like your stereotypical- media- led ‘lady’. If the idea of false lashes, long flowing hair- bohemian or otherwise and a …

Rosie was my youngest Bride ever! And my tallest- not relevant unless you’re 5ft 2 like myself 😉 !

We bonded over coffee, literature, smokey eyes and a love …
Alexandria of Alexandria Events wrote to me last Autumn and asked if I wanted to be part of this absolutely gorgeous shoot. The idea of a copper and blue, modern and eclectic aesthetic really appealed to me. It gave me a chance to show off some copper smokey eye tones and textures and deep red lip. It …
Grace contacted me after their engagement shoot photographer Marianne Chua recommended me. Which was rather lovely of her! We met in London to discuss what Grace needed from me.

Oh, Haniah. My gorgeous, gorgeous Haniah. Where do I start? Our meeting was the 5th floor of Harvey Nicks and a little hasty! I also had to wrap my head around 4 days of wedding shooting; two mixed faith ceremonies, one western party and one single faith get together ( not pictured for religious reasons but you can find the …
I cannot recommend Kylie enough to all the Brides to be! She did a wonderful job on my hair and make-up that looked flawless throughout the entire day (even during the unusually warm day!) Kylie made me feel at ease from the start, having flown in from the States just the night before, she sprayed on some rose …

Katie got in touch with me as she wanted beachy, sexy waved hair and luminous skin. We met on a very hot sunny day in Covent Garden and discussed her wedding venues and our Mum’s similar career paths! Random but fabulous.

Laura and her beau got married during Gay Pride! It absolutely chucked it down but they managed to get outside for some glorious photos with the party goers. So much love!

Ahhhh Lucie. Ahh THAT DRESS 🙂 Lucie and I are super in love with everything French. We discussed food, fizz, Bardot, Tautou and Cotillard.

Lucie had super dry …

A flutter of lashes, red lip and edwardian …
I absolutely LOVED this family. I generally love all ladies I get to work with and their loved ones, but these guys? They were special. When Emma first sent me her emails, I imagined a quintessential English Rose. What I got was the funkiest Asian fusion chicka with a name that came from her Mother’s love of English literature. This …
One of the reasons I haven’t been around lately is because I went and got married myself! Here is a little taster, courtesy of that Laura McCluskey, again 😉 “In the run up to the wedding, we got asked a lot if we had a ‘theme’. We didn’t in truth – we’re not very colour coordinated people, nor …

Like pretty much all of my Brides, Polly came to me because she didn’t want to look too ‘done’. Fitting in Polly’s trials between her living in Singapore and popping home to Kent for fittings was surprisingly convenient. After trying some slightly gothic and ethereal looks we headed in a completely different direction and chose something healthy and …
A low key look with a nice bright lip was requested from the now Mrs Silcock. She had the most beautiful wedding dress and wanted to show it off and let it speak for itself. And that is what she got. Martina was quite keen to try her hair pinned up and away from her face on her …
Jade wanted a heavily Vintage inspired look, Marcel Waves and sexy red pout. I was also asked to work my magic on Desree ( Mother of The Bride), Celia ( Mother of The Handsome Groom) , Sooz and Clare ( Bridesmaids). All were a total joy to work on! You can never have too many lashes. …
