A little over two years on and we're taking a fresh look at Lauren and Keir's wedding at Northumberlands incredible wedding venue Brinkburn Priory. Having met when she was working as a model, Lauren is still flourishing within her industry. This look back at her wedding photography reveals just a glimpse into her growing talent, and how luxurious, expertly done wedding makeup is timeless.
This is the value in chosing the right MUA when planning your wedding, with images you will look at for years to come, it's important to me that you look back and feel like an incredible representation of yourself...
Flashback to December at Halton Grove, it was such a beautiful winter's day in Northumberland. I always love seeing the sun shine brightly through the windows and directly onto my bridal makeup chair. It was the last wedding I was working as a makeup artist in 2024, and it was just the joyful boost I needed send me off into the festive break. That's all because of the energy that just radiated out of lovely bride Laura.
Just a quick scroll through this preview of their wedding album from Sean Elliot Photography will illustrate perfectly the happy go lucky vibes she brought to our morning together....
I was connected to create the bridal makeup for Camilla & Charles' wedding by Emma Jordan Weddings as the couple flew in from state side to share their beautiful wedding with family and friends in one of Scotland's most incredible locations, Schloss Roxburghe.

Creating my signature perfected skin base for Camilla meant utilising the most important methods for that no-makeup makeup feel, really good skincare. The Dewy Skin Cream by Tatcha was the star of the show for this bride, creating...

Now with the launch of collection 001, her gowns are now available to purchase here in the UK!
The brief was natural and dewy which is exactly my style, my ethos and my vibe as a makeup artist! That's why I used some of my natural no-makeup makeup...
Come behind the scenes as I spend the morning with Bride Zoe, as beautiful light poured in through the windows of Middleton Lodge it was the perfect moment to capture those candid wedding morning moments and share the magic of getting your makeup done before your big day.
It's just another day in the life for me, but a great insight into what to expect for soon to be brides. We often see the final results in beautifully shot and edited pictures by all the fantastic photographers of the North East, but sometimes it's equally as good to see some unfiltered iphone photos that give a more natural...
My summer as a wedding makeup artist was well and truly kicked off with a burst of unbeatable joy thanks to Leeds based pair Sally & Oli. Flicking through these images now, you can really feel the couples' contagious, charismatic energy. The perfect start to the season ahead!

We had chatted in the trial...
Back when the summer weather was struggling to show it's face, I was busy working at Lemmington Hall trying my best to manifest all of the glowing sunny vibes on location with Ruby & Oscar with this floral inspired ethereal makeup style.
