Freelance Hair & Makeup Artist at Combermere Abbey

Combermere Abbey is an absolutely stunning location, its like taking a walk through the secret garden with white wrought iron gates, quirky wooden door ways, stunning lawns and flowers in abundance.

Weddings take place in 'The Glass House' surrounded by an orchard maze, which just happened to be our perfect setting for a cinderella inspired bridal shoot. Unfortunately, the carriage company didn't arrive - so we were Cinderella minus a pumpkin :(



We had a fabulous team on this shoot and i can't thank them enough for all their hard work and patience on a very warm day. All links are below if you need more information.

Front Cover of CHIMP Mag

When photographer Shirlaine Forrest asked me along to design some hair for her Harajuku inspired shoot, i jumped at the chance, she had an amazing team in place and once again it was time to get creative!

We were away for a few days prior to the shoot, so i spent my travel time in tha car and some times away gluing & sewing pieces of brightly coloured hair in to lollipops & ice-cream... After a six hour drive back, i began my race to the finish line until 2am putting finishing touches to bits n pieces - thankfully the rest of my kit was ready to go!

It was an absolutely wicked shoot and well worth all the effort. MUA's Jennifer Perry & Lauren Coombes - two very talented lady who both preiously worked for one of my favourite brands Illamasqua!

The results:


Just a little bit pleased when my copy of CHIMP arrived!
