About Me
Because its as personal as it gets right?
Fun Facts​
-
I am a hopeless romantic! I LOVE love. And always would have ended up working in weddings in some capacity.​ ​
-
I met my husband when I was 18! And I'm still very much...very loudly...deliriously in love 18 years later.​
-
I'm mum to our daughter Jess and two cavapoos, Jack & Kylo. (Yes thats a Star Wars reference.) ​
-
I'm annoyingly positive. ALWAYS glass half full.​
-
Love to sing when I'm in the car!
I've been a qualified makeup artist for over ten years. I've worked on photoshoots, commercial jobs and once did makeup for a scene in a Netflix movie! But for me, nothing comes close to a wedding!
The feeling I get, when I see my bride in her gown will never fail to amaze me. And thats why bridal is my chosen specialty. Because it's so fulfilling.
I worked a corporate job in project management which I absolutely loved, but it was one of those jobs that was never just office hours! And eventually this took such a toll on my mental health. ​
​
So I quit! And it wasn't until after I left I realised how little I'd been showing up for myself. I became obsessed with mindfulness, and learnt a lot about myself. I even stopped taking medication for my anxiety.
​
Now I'm lucky to be in my business full time, and my only job is making people feel their best? Stealing a living really.
​
​
Nothing makes me happier than a night in front of the TV ... with snacks, a blanket.... and a new murder documentary.
