  • As seen on Vogue Italia!!!

    In March I had the pleasure of working with a group of local suppliers on a Parisian wedding inspiration shoot.

    Not only did we get blogged on the wonderful Bijou Bride blog but one of the images will be featuring in a future issue of Italian Vogue.

    As you can imagine I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

  • I'm Art Photography

    Last month I had the pleasure of working with Stephen from I’m Art Photography twice in 6 days. Having not worked together before I was surprised to see Stephen so quickly. Although now I’ve seen the outcome of his work I can see why he is so in demand!

    I love the images he took from both weddings and here is an image of one of the gorgeous brides.

  • The Wedding Industry Awards 2014

    So today I entered for The Wedding Industry Awards 2014!!

    These awards are the only independent, regional and national wedding industry awards around. They are voted for solely by past-clients of the wedding suppliers who have entered. This, together with their rigorous judging process and expert judging panel ensures that the results of these awards have real meaning for entrants and anyone who is organising a wedding and looking for the best wedding suppliers.

    If I had the honour of being a part of your big day between 1st November 2012 and 31st October 2013 I would really appreciate your votes!

    I have entered for both the MAKEUP ARTIST CATEGORY and the HAIR STYLIST CATEGORY

    Winning one of these awards would mean the world to me so if you can spare 5 minutes to vote I’d be forever grateful!

    Wish me luck x

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you charge for travel costs? Are a minimum no. of people required to make a booking?
No to both! I travel to anywhere in Essex for both a trial and on the day for no extra charge.
What products do you use?
I extensively research and test all of the products in my kit. They are designed to last all day in any environment yet are still lightweight, therefore allowing your skin to breath. Depending on your skin type I mainly use Chanel, Mac or Bobbi Brown foundations. I concentrate a lot of my time on creating flawless yet glowing bases using these products but other brands in my kit include YSL, Dior and Becca.
Is a trial necessary / What happens at a trial?
Yes, I believe trials are essential when they are possible. It gives you and I the opportunity to create a stunning hairstyle that suits your face shape and hair type. The same applies to ensuring we create the perfect makeup for your skin type and tone, face shape and personal taste. At your trial, which can be held at your chosen venue, we’ll discuss your ideas and then start with your hair and makeup, plus I’ll stay until you are 100% happy. I’ll note all products used and take a photo to ensure the same look is achieved on your big day.
Do I need to pay a deposit and how can payments be made?
Your wedding or special occasion will be added to my diary once the booking is confirmed. A deposit of 50% of the wedding or special occasion cost will need to be paid once you are 100% happy with your trial. If no trial is held then a deposit is required 8 weeks before the big day. The remainder is to be paid on the day. I accept cash, cheque or bank transfer payments.
What happens on the day?
I will arrive at the arranged time, fully equipped and once set up I will begin the hair and makeup of the bridal party before moving on to the bride. Once finished and payment has been made I will swiftly pack up and leave you to enjoy the rest of the day.
