My beautiful friend married her .rw last Friday and it was all kinds of wonderful.

There is something so special about doing makeup for someone on their wedding day, even more special when it is a beautiful friend.

Thank you for trusting me to do your makeup georgette, but even more so for planning your wedding around my availability 😂

What a day, what a bride ❤️❤️❤️

A little life update from me.

Excited to share that our little family is growing and we will be adding a sweet little boy to our family in August.

I will be taking some time off once baby is here but unless you have heard from me all future booking are still all confirmed.

2026/2027 wedding season will be looking a lot quieter for me with limited dates available but do still get in touch and if I am not available I have a great team I can recommend.

Makeup lessons/workshops are still available so once again get in touch if you would like to book one.

But for now looking forward to getting back into my beautiful weddings and weekly clients.

End of last year I had the pleasure of doing makeup for the lovely on her wedding day.

This day will always be one I remember as it was also the launch of an incredible new wedding venue in the coromandel.

I have seen how much Katie and Blake have poured into this venue and I know it is going to be so popular. If you haven't already make sure you check , it is exactly what the coromandel weddings needed.

Thank you so much Katie for having me and trusting me to be apart of the team to bring your vision to life.

Once again thank you so much for your patience over the last few weeks and I look forward to seeing you all soon xx

And just like that, I’m officially done for 2025.

What a year. So many highlights, with of course some lows.

55 weddings, 4 international weddings
46 workshops
4 masterclasses with 3 of my favs
Many lessons and many beautiful, special-occasion makeups.

To all my clients, new and regular, thank you. Your support has meant the world to me, and as I wrap up this year, I reflect on how grateful I am to have a job I love.

I have taken most of the summer off, with only doing 1 wedding in the next 6 weeks, and I am so looking forward to switching off and spending time with my beautiful family. Please know there will be a delay in emails and I won’t be on here much—just soaking in the summer holidays with my babies. Not too sure when I last took this much time off, but I need it haha.

Have a wonderful Christmas break, and I will see you all on here in 2026 # # #

Wedding season has well and truly begun.
