Photographic Shoots

Having acquired a superb knowledge of photography make up, I thoroughly enjoy working alongside professional photographers in order to achieve fabulous portfolio standard photos.

Whether you are a photographer in need of assistance, or an individual wishing for some gorgeous photos of yourself and your family, I'd be delighted to help.

The service on our wedding day was superb and exceeded my expectations.

The make-up for both myself and 5 bridesmaids was flawless and looked terrific in all the photos. Not only did Gemma stay until I was walking down the aisle to ensure everyone's make-up was perfect, but she also helped all of us get ready. If Gemma wasn't there I don't think we would have been ready in time.

I would highly recommend Gemma to anyone requiring make-up for any occasion.

Gemma is not only a great make-up artist who makes you feel special when you're getting your make-up done but also a great stylist! I was chuffed with the outcome of my look when she was done with me! She also had a great way of making me feel special and at ease, it was wonderful to meet the girl too as she couldn't stop making me laugh! Lovely girl and lovely style's created by her! Thank you!!!
