“A destination wedding is a lot to juggle. Taking a make-up artist meant I could relax knowing an area that is well out of my own expertise is totally taken care of. Having your make-up done is the only time you get to sit down, find a bit of quiet stillness, and be taken care of on your wedding day. I felt like myself, and looked polished from the ceremony to the photos, and all the way to the dancefloor.”

LAKE COMO WEDDING - BRAD WAKEFIELD

I've been working as a wedding makeup artist since 2006 and have been lucky enough to travel abroad to assist my brides. With  experience of over 1000 weddings (yep, I counted!) you are in safe hands! I can help you feel relaxed and in control on the wedding morning, I've honestly 'seen it all' during my career!

I've asked my brides this question - why hire me when you could hire someone in the local area?

The response is: they want someone they can trust, who will understand them (quite literally!) and understand the look they want. Being able to meet before the wedding and complete a preview so that everything on the day runs smoothly is a huge bonus. Makeup styles can vary quite wildly depending on region and country . I'll never forget the look on the bridesmaids face as her makeup got completed by someone hired in to take care of the bridal party. The makeup style had got very lost in translation. She shot me a look and mouthed "help!"

We took it off later and I rescued her! She was very grateful.

 

WHY hire a MAKEUP ARTIST from the UK?

what about logistics?

I'm an organisation queen! You've got enough to think about, so I take care of all the logistics regarding travel, transfers and accommodation. 

You will receive a bespoke quote for makeup services and all additional costs. I am a confident traveller and driver and hold a full license that allows me to drive whilst abroad - which I have much experience of.  Something that comes in handy when working in remote locations!
