Come take a peak behind the curtain of one of my Real Brides, Katie where she married her true love in the magical city of Manchester – I’ve even given you links to the exact products I used on her wedding day!
Katie had heard about me through one of her friends, who was a previous Bride of mine.
Side note here….. You may be thinking “ When should I book my Makeup artist?” Well Katies wedding was at the end of August 2024, and she booked me in February 2023, booking 12-18 months ahead is the norm for most of my Brides.
Katie mentioned on her enquiry form…..
“ I’ve seen your photos and love the natural glow in your makeup, my friend also said you were lovely….”
It can be hard to show my personality over a website & Instagram posts so it’s heart warming to hear that I make a positive lasting impression with my Brides.
I was obsessed with Katie’s mood board of Bridal Hair & Makeup Inspiration, full of slick back hair and sleek buns, radiant makeup of glowing skin but still glamorous with champagne & neutral tones and micro wing liners.
We nailed her trial, with zero tweaks to her makeup. My studio is a safe space for all Brides, I make sure we build the makeup look together, so I ask multiple questions and show what i’m doing as I work to make sure my Brides are happy. I never let a Bride leave unhappy and have a sixth sense when I feel something isn’t sitting right.
Using my tried and trusted makeup brands such as Face Atelier, Hourglass and Daniel Sandler for her complexion products, along with Charlotte Tilbury and Nars to enhance her beautiful eyes. I have used these brands for years in my professional Bridal Makeup Kit and I have seen them test the tears, emotions, and party vibes of a full wedding day.
“ Amazing, Sophie Made me feel completely at ease and comfortable. Did not feel rushed at all, Good Advice, comfortable environment and felt listened to by Sophie. Would recommend to any friend.”
Katie and her HUSBAND… eeekk!! married at King Street Townhouse in Manchester. Such a gorgeous, City Chic, wedding venue.
My assistant and I glammed the Bridal Party, calmed any nerves and captured some sweet moments between them all.
Every Bride is always so surprised by their own creative skills on a wedding morning as that is the first time they will see everything come together! The bouquet, the outfit, hair & makeup, the venue and styling all coming together. I’ll list Katie’s incredible suppliers below for you to have a nosy at.
