On-Location Bridal Makeup Artist
Soft Glam Bridal Makeup for the Modern Bride
I specialise in radiant, luxurious bridal makeup that enhances your natural beauty, so you look and feel flawless from the first photo to the last dance.
As a former bride and professional makeup artist, I bring a joyful yet calm and authentic energy to your wedding morning glam session while delivering flawless, long-wearing makeup that enhances—not hides—your features.
My signature style is about creating soft, modern bridal makeup looks with a flawless finish that is never cakey or overdone. It’s the kind of makeup that looks just as stunning in person as it does in photos.

I was lucky enough to have Emilie do the makeup for myself and my three bridesmaids for my wedding day. She was amazing! Communication was clear and prompt throughout the whole process, and she adapted easily to changes. We looked fantastic, and the makeup lasted for the whole night!

Emilie is fantastic! I don't usually wear makeup, so I was nervous about wearing some for my wedding day. Emilie was calm, patient, and easygoing, helping me sort through what I wanted for a natural look. She is truly an artist and the very best!
