Making you feel like the

very best version of yourself

Based: South Yorkshire
Covers: UK wide
Summary: I specialise in wedding make-up and pride myself on working with anyone who sits in my chair to make them feel the very best version of themselves. Whether the make-up look is minimal and neutral, or the look is bold, fierce, colourful and full glam. I am DOWN! This is more than a job to me, it’s become a part of who I am!

In 2022, a group of alternative wedding suppliers gathered inside a deconsecrated church in Leeds to create a dark celestial wedding shoot. Four years later, we can see it was about more than moons and stars.
