I was really excited to be included as the Makeup artist for award winning, British designer Carrie Jenkinson’s Millinery shoot earlier this year. The team were: Andrea Pennington, Photographer, Jess Singer from Number 3 Hairdressing, Bath, Models Beth White and Danielle McDonald. None of us had met before but as we arrived on set at Lacock Studios I instantly knew we’d have a lot of fun and we were guaranteed great shots from Andrea!

The Make-up brief was pale, matt, editorial. We changed hair and make-up looks often, depending on the headpiece, from natural nude lips to bold.. nude, glossy eyes to strong, editorial looks

All of the team worked brilliantly, held together with coffee and cakes from the lovely Carrie!

Try not to get too stressed out with all of the preparations for your big day and make time to spoil yourself! Your big day will pass by so quickly, make sure that you really take time to enjoy the run up. We hope you have a truly memorable Wedding Day!

I’m so lucky that Salisbury, where I live, is such a beautiful area. I’m within 45 minutes of the coast and the New Forest and I get asked to do a lot of bridal makeup for brides and their parties who are getting married in Hampshire.

Hampshire

Hampshire, being such a big county stretches from just a hop away from London to the South coast. Covering places such as Winchester, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Lymington and 150 square miles of New Forest!

Hampshire has some amazing luxury hotels and wedding venues, from the Mill at Gordleton in Lymington to the classic elegance of the Hotel to Vin in Winchester to the grandeur of Tylnley Hall, a Grade II listed luxury country house in Hook.

New Forest weddings are one of my favourites as I got married (many years ago!) at the gorgeous Careys Manor Hotel in Brockenhurst. I am very privileged to have been the makeup artist on many weddings in the New Forest and the drive to the wedding in the morning (or night before if its a very early start!) is always such a peaceful and calm way to start the day, and such a perfect setting for a wedding.

I travel all over the South coast and have had brides getting married in Hampshire who live in London, the North and even ones who have flown in from Australia for their big day. In this instance, trials can be arranged in my studio in Salisbury or I can travel to a place convenient to you. On the morning of your wedding I’ll arrive bright and early, in plenty of time to set up before making you look totally perfect for your big day!

I love working with Michelle Crosser from Bridal Hair in Hampshire, she’s an absolute perfectionist and some of the styles she creates are amazing.
