Weddings

This summer I got to take in the true grandeur of the lastest addition to the Northumberland wedding venue scene, taking to Lemmington Hall where I was set to help bride Alice get prepped and makeup ready for her stroll down the aisle. Well outdoor aisle, as their gorgeous fairytale-esque ceremony took place in the lavish grounds that surround the hall. Captured through the lense of Rosie Davison, you'll quickly see that a certain someone named Noodle almost stole the show. The couple's dog played the part as the world's cutest ring barer escorted by Wishbone Weddings, but nothing could truly outshine...

Taking a closer look at Libby, this further collection from the gallery of Phoebe Lenderyou zooms in on beautifully bronzed cheeks and dreamy soft bridal glam. Whilst I created this makeup look for our Forcett Hall shoot with Rebelle Marketing, Model Libby is the picture perfect repesentation of what I love to create for my real brides. The ones who come to me asking for comfortable, breathable, party proof natural coverage. Soft glam is the perfect way to still feel like you, but elevated, that special glowing touch. The key for that healthy, radiant finish is as always, the skincare. Massaged...

Bamburgh Castle may be an awe inspiring, scene stealing setting of the British North East, but it played only a supporting role as beautiful backdrop as bride Alex took the limelight for her wedding to groom Mike. Seeing the most gorgeous couple, dancing the day away amongst the sprawling grounds, brings to mind a favourite quote of mine. "Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time." Alex's makeup was simply Reese Witherspoon inspired, as she reminded me so much of the actress and the look she wanted to wear on her wedding day matched so perfectly. With a focus...

Sit back and take a closer peek behind the scenes of Jessie's August wedding, as we spend the morning together getting her radiant, natural bridal glam together. We had such a lovely relaxed and chatty time together as we reviewed her face chart from her trial and got to work building her dreamy wedding day look. These images captured by Your Wedding Story by Chiyo and Kirk are such a great insight into those delicate moments that are a huge part of setting a bride up for a perfect day ahead. Each step I take as a bridal MUA are essential in laying a great foundation for what's to come, both literally...

In late August, an unrivaled burst of colour and energy took over The Garden Room in Newcastle's contemporary wedding venue The Biscuit Factory as Stephanie and Andrew celebrated their newly wedded bliss. If it isn't clear from these snaps by Margarita Hope Photography, every inch of this unique space was elevated this couple's laughter, love and exquisitely bold taste. Creating a bridal makeup for Stephanie was an honour knowing her keen eye good style that became clear as we spoke at lengths about her vision. After an enjoyble chat all about my signature work at her trial to find out just what...

In the early hours of August 16th Jessie's home was just buzzing with energy. I arrived to a house filled with laughter and happiness as she and her bridesmaids prepared for the day ahead, it was such a lovely warm environment to step into. I've known Jessie for many years so I knew that my morning with her would be nothing short of joyful, but to be able to help her capture the inner-happiness that she exudes and turn it into an outward expression as a radiant bridal makeup look was an absolute honor. She of course had requested my signature glowing perfected skinbase, which was started by taking...
