A little bit about me… I’m a makeup and hair artist and NVQ lvl5 master cosmetologist. I’ve been working in the beauty industry for 18+ years, I work with local photographers on branding and boudoir shoots. I do makeup and hair for video shoots in London and Brighton, also theatre and Glyndebourne opera house. I have experience working in fashion shows too, but my main focus is bridal makeup and hair.

A little bit about the shoot… Zoltan – the photographer – and I met at a wedding fair this January and very quickly we decided to work together. He recommended The Pilgrims Rest at Battle as the location of this shoot and it was the best venue we could’ve had. I had the idea of doing something dark to exercise our creativity. Kristy, our model got into character straight away and the whole day ran very smoothly. It was so easy to work together, we complemented each other’s ideas and loved how the images turned out. The beautiful black bridal dress is from Fross Wedding Collections and the hooded dress is from French’s Fancy Dress.
