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...

It's late summer at Maften Hall and the sun's rays are beaming down on the palatial grounds, bathing the estate in a warm and inviting glow. I know that might be hard to imagine right now as the Autumn rains continue shower the north east, but step inside this Belle Bridal shoot for a sneak peak at their upcoming wedding inspiration featuring luxury bridal makeup, timeless architecture and modern styling.

This evening the Sun will cross the celestial equator, marking the start of Autumn for 2025. Whilst a dramatic shift in climate may have felt apparent all September long, today is when the true change happens and that means it's time to set our intentions for the season ahead. If Summer is a journey of discovery and development, Autumn is the time to harvest and take stock of all we've learnt. To close out my months of self discovery, I was so glad to have taken part in The Lonely CEO Retreat at Kip & Nook to prepare me for the equinox. More than just business retreat, The Lonely...

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...

Whilst a juicy pout and rosy cheeks bring an intriguing pop of contrast, it's the overall radiance that's the star of the show...
