Suppliers I trust
A great wedding isn’t created by one person—it’s a team effort.
Over the years I’ve worked alongside some incredible venues, florists, entertainers, celebrants and creatives. These are the businesses I’d happily recommend to my own friends and family because I’ve seen first-hand how they look after couples and help create relaxed, enjoyable wedding days.

Make Up Artists
Blushed By Kay

Why I’d Recommend Blushed By Kay
A great bridal hair and makeup artist does far more than create a beautiful look—they help set the tone for the entire wedding morning.
What stands out about Blushed By Kay is the calm, thoughtful approach taken with every bride. Rather than creating a look that feels overdone, the focus is on enhancing your natural features with timeless styling that photographs beautifully and lasts throughout the day.
As a wedding photographer, I know how important it is for brides to feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. When someone feels relaxed and like the best version of themselves, it shows in every photograph. Blushed By Kay understands that perfectly, creating a luxury experience that’s just as much about how you feel as how you look.
