I recommend securing your date 8–12 months in advance, particularly for peak wedding season (November–March), as weekends tend to book quickly. For destination weddings or larger bridal parties, booking earlier is always encouraged. Once your date is confirmed with a signed contract and deposit, it is yours.

All wedding bookings have a minimum booking of 4 people. I do block out an entire day for only ever one wedding so be assured you will receive my full and utmost attention and dedication for a whole day. This ensures your experience is not rushed and chaotic, but calm and intentional.

Yes, I offer one complimentary in studio bridal trial to all my brides who book upfront. However, if you would like to have a trial before committing to me, you are welcome to book this for a cost.

Yes, I offer special occasion makeup for events and private individual or group lessons for those wanting to elevate their own skills.

Glam and Graze Lessons are personalised and designed to enhance your confidence, focusing on techniques and products that work specifically for you. You will also receive a platter for your group to enjoy and I welcome you to any refreshment throughout.

Glam and Graze lessons are perfect for ladies nights, hens do, birthdays and those wanting to learn with friends!

Travel within Hawke’s Bay is included. For weddings down in Central Hawkes Bay or outside the region, a custom travel package is provided based on location, accommodation (if required), and schedule. For destination weddings within New Zealand, Australia, or island locations, travel arrangements are discussed during the booking process to ensure everything is seamless and well planned.

For local special occasion bookings or lessons, I only travel for groups of 4+ and a travel fee of $2km/return is charged.

My approach is centered around refinement and intention. I focus on enhancing your natural features with a skin focused, softly diffused finish that feels polished. My style is perfect for the brides wanting that natural or soft glam look. Beyond the artistry, I prioritise creating a calm, considered experience one where you feel supported, understood, and entirely at ease from our first conversation through to your final touch-up.

Absolutely. I work confidently across all skin types and tones, tailoring both product selection and technique to suit your individual needs. My kit includes luxury, high performance products chosen for their versatility, longevity, and beautiful finish in person and in photographs.

If you have any specific allergies or sensitivities and require certain products of your own, you are welcome to bring them along, or book in for a trial for patch testing prior.
