I usually allow around 60–75 minutes for the bride and about 45–60 minutes per bridesmaid or guest. We’ll put together a schedule that gives you plenty of breathing room so you’re not feeling rushed.

Yes — and it’s really important to me that everyone in my chair feels confident and seen. My kit is stocked with shades and products to suit a wide range of skin tones and needs.

If you’re eyeing a weekend or peak season date, sooner is always better — 6 to 12 months ahead is ideal. I only take on a limited number of weddings to give each one the attention it deserves - you'll never see me rushing from one wedding to the next, your day will always have my full attention!

I do — and they’re actually required. Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and I don’t believe in leaving anything to chance. Trials give us the space to perfect your look ahead of time so that on the day, everything feels seamless. It’s also a great excuse to align with your engagement shoot or any other special event you’ve got in the lead-up.
