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...

It'd had been a while since I'd stepped foot on the grounds of the beautiful Runa Farm, perhaps since the incredible pop up wedding show by Belle Bridal in 2022! But I was so happy to be back as a bridal makeup artist to enjoy a morning full of warm bubbling energy as I helped Helena get ready for her wedding day. I'm so grateful to Sasha Lee Photography for capturing some of those MUA moments with Helena and her bridal party where you can really feel the excitement building up.

Soak up the spring sunshine as we take a step back into my favourite venue, Yorkshire's stunning Middleton Lodge. This time I'm back on the pristine grounds to create some equally amazing wedding make-up for the beautiful soul Ashley.     For her bridal look Ashley wanted to create a real soft and glowy glam that echoed the ethereal surroundings. To get a perfected skin base for her radiant wedding day style I always like to start with skin care. Lucky for me Ashley had made my job easy, on the run up to her wedding she'd been attending Durham's fantastic The Beauty Therapy Clinic....

June sunshine lit up The Yorkshire Wedding Barn for Lydia's wedding in Gilling West, which meant starting the bridal makeup with one of my favourite SPF's. The Beauty Pie Featherlight SPF is perfect as it combines high SPF with a really makeup friendly formula that helps secure pigments in place on a balmy day. There's little worse than feeling greasy from your sun protection on a hot day, then layering make-up on top can be a recipe for disaster. Starting with the Beauty Pie SPF is a great way to keep the skinbase light and fresh whilst still being protected. Wedding photographer Sean Elliott did...
