My Bridal Hair + Makeup Artist Journey
I've been living and breathing the hair and makeup world for over 12 years now. My journey started with some exciting commercial work, but nine years ago, a lightbulb moment struck, and I found my true calling in the realm of bridal hair and makeup!
Back then, it seemed like finding a bridal hair and makeup artist who shared my vision was as rare as finding a unicorn (especially in Essex ). So, I took matters into my own hands and decided to be the trailblazer for natural bridal makeup and hair that didn’t look ‘to bridal’ and outdated. And let me tell you, I've been flying that flag ever since!
My passion for natural makeup has led me to create memorable looks for countless brides. In fact, I still treasure pictures from some of my very first brides because, for me, natural bridal makeup and hair is timeless.
While the world is now catching up to the beauty of natural wedding makeup (or “clean beauty” they like to call it now), I've been a firm believer in its magic from the very beginning. I believe that bridal hair and makeup should never feel overdone; it should be an artful balance of soft, creative, and relaxed hair designs and radiant, natural enhancing makeup.
So, my lovely brides-to-be, if you're seeking a wedding hair and makeup artist who'll embrace your vision, while staying true to yourself, I'm here to help style a look that's uniquely YOU.

I can't wait to hear from you!

Get to know me better…
I'll admit, it's a bit cliché, but so true! Traveling, especially to Europe holds a special place in my heart. Whether it's a quick city break or beach getaway, I'm always game to explore vibrant streets and indulge in the local cuisines (yes I am a foodie too). Hiring a car and venturing off the beaten path to capture the breathtaking sights and see as much as possible is what I love to do.
Another passion of mine my very loyal and super cute poodle, Poppy! She's my companion on long walks through the countryside and to beach escapes in Suffolk and Norfolk. As well as keeping me company while I’m replying to emails and doing all things admin. You might spot her making special appearances on my Instagram page, she steals the show! I swear, one Poppy pic, and engagement levels skyrocket!
The pandemic definitely brought a slower pace of life for me, revealing the simple pleasures in life. Coffee with friends, quality moments with family, long walks and homemade meals (or deliveroos).
Sending you a warm and genuine smile :).
