the experience

A wedding morning moves fast, and the way you feel in it stays with you for years.
My work is to make that part calm.
I create a result that looks like you, not a version of you, skin that still reads as skin, eyes that stay open and soft in photographs, and a finish that holds from the first look to the last dance.

I keep things skin first. The base is built to live on real skin in real light, close up and from across the room, in the heat of a Provence afternoon and under evening candles.
Nothing sits heavy, nothing looks done. It simply looks like a very good day for your face.

what every experience includes

Every booking begins with a conversation, so I understand the dress, the setting, the light, and how you actually want to feel, before I ever touch a brush.

On lashes, I work lash by lash. They are placed individually and only where your own lashes ask for them, never a strip and never anything heavy on the lash line. It keeps your eyes looking like yours, and it is the quiet detail that reads as expensive on camera.

On the day, I stay with you for an hour after your makeup is finished, so we can settle anything before you step out, take a few first photographs, and breathe. You also leave with a small touch up kit and the few essentials you will want the next morning, so the look stays with you well past the ceremony.

the
bride

For the bride who wants her morning to feel effortless and her face to feel like her own.

This is the heart of what I do. From the moment you book, you are looked after. A luxury skin prep that begins well before the day, skincare chosen for you, and my inbox open for as many questions as you have, with no clock running. It includes a private trial where we find your look together and I note everything down, so nothing is left to memory. On the day you have my full attention, the hour of presence after we finish, a high end touch up kit made to carry you through the celebration, and the few essentials you will reach for the next morning.

the
morning

For the bride who is getting ready surrounded by the people she loves.

Everything in The Bride, with the women around you brought into the same calm. The luxury skin prep, the unlimited conversation, the trial and the kits are all there, and the morning is mapped so the timing works and no one feels rushed. Each face is given real attention rather than a quick pass. Beyond eight faces, or whenever the timing calls for it, I bring in a second artist I trust, so the morning stays smooth and everyone is ready with time to spare.

the
journey

For the celebration that lives across more than one day, or more than one look.

Some weddings are a weekend, not a morning. This is built for the welcome dinner and the wedding day together, for a daytime look that becomes an evening one, and for travel further afield. Everything from The Bride and The Morning is here, the luxury skin prep, the unlimited care in the months before, the trial arranged around your schedule the evening before or in advance, and the kits to keep you looking like yourself across every part of the celebration. Because no two of these are alike, this one is shaped entirely around you.

how it works

From the moment you say yes, the beauty side of your wedding quietly becomes mine to carry. Here is what that looks like.

01

after you book

The planning starts the moment your date is confirmed. You receive a personal beauty guide written for your skin and your day, along with skincare recommendations chosen for you, so your skin is calm, even and ready by the time the day arrives.
From here until the wedding, my inbox is open. Unlimited messages, real answers, and a quiet eye on your preparations, so you never feel alone with a question.

02

YOUR TRIAL

We treat the trial as its own small occasion, never a rushed appointment. It begins with a luxury skin prep, then we find your look together, test it, adjust it, and photograph it from every angle. I write down every detail, the products, the order, the timing, so nothing is left to memory and there is nothing for you to wonder about later.

03

The month before,
and the day itself

In the final month I send you a clear morning timeline, built around your photographer, your dress and the light, so you know exactly when I arrive and when you will be ready, with room to breathe built in. On the day I come to you, I set up calmly, and I keep the room relaxed. Bridal makeup takes around ninety minutes, and I stay with you for an hour after we finish so we can settle anything before you step out. You leave with a touch up kit and the few essentials you will want the next morning. From your yes to your last dance, it is handled, so you can simply be present in your own wedding.

Brides from Germany, England, and beyond, on the morning they remember.
  • "It held for more than ten hours without a single touch-up needed." — Natascia

  • "Luminous and ultra-natural, exactly as I had imagined. She brought out my features without ever masking my personality." — Maud

  • "She took care of the whole bridal party, every different skin type, and everyone looked like the best version of themselves." — Felicia

I take on a limited number of weddings each year. The Saturdays from June through September fill the earliest, often a year ahead, so if your date sits in that window, it is worth reaching out sooner rather than later.
