Michelle is a professional Hair and Make-up Artist specialising in bridal beauty, with a career spanning more than two decades across the hair, beauty, wedding and creative industries.

Beginning her career in hairdressing in 1999 and later expanding into professional make-up artistry, Michelle brings a wealth of experience, technical knowledge and a naturally creative eye to her work. Her bridal style is centred around enhancing rather than masking, creating beautifully considered hair and make-up that feels polished, modern and entirely individual to the person wearing it.

From effortlessly textured, romantic hair to refined natural and soft glam make-up, Michelle works closely with each bride to create a look that complements their features, personal style, dress and the overall feel of their wedding. Just as importantly, she understands that the experience of getting ready is part of the day itself. Her calm, friendly and professional approach helps create a relaxed atmosphere while ensuring everything runs seamlessly to schedule.

Alongside her extensive bridal work, Michelle has worked across commercial, editorial, music and media productions, including roles as a Hair and Make-up Artist and Head of Make-up Department. This experience has developed an ability to work confidently in fast paced environments, collaborate with wider creative teams and create looks that translate beautifully both in person and on camera.

Her career has also taken her beyond the UK, working internationally across five countries and bringing the same adaptable, professional approach to destination work as she does to weddings closer to home.

For Michelle, this has never been simply a job. It is a career she genuinely loves and continues to feel passionate about after more than two decades in the industry. Being invited into the preparations on one of the most significant days in a couple's life is something she considers a genuine privilege. No two weddings are ever quite the same, and the trust placed in her to be part of those often emotional, exciting and wonderfully memorable wedding mornings is something she never takes for granted.

Based in Cheshire and working throughout the North West, North Wales and beyond, Michelle offers a highly personal bridal service from the initial enquiry and trial through to the wedding morning itself.

For Michelle, beautiful bridal hair and make-up should still feel like you, simply elevated, considered and created to last through every photograph, embrace and moment of the day.
