About Me

Hi, I’m Charlie, a bridal hair and makeup artist with over 20 years of experience creating beautiful, timeless looks.

My background began in TV, film and stage, where I trained and worked across the UK and internationally on productions including Cinderella, The Young Victoria, and Strictly Come Dancing. I also held the role of Head of Wigs & Makeup at New Zealand Opera.

But while I loved the creativity of that world, what truly lights me up is being part of a bride’s wedding day.

Now based in Central Otago, I specialise in relaxed, glowing bridal hair and makeup that enhances your natural beauty, photographs beautifully, and lasts all day and night.

I’m known for my calm, friendly approach and for creating a seamless, stress-free morning, so you can feel confident, comfortable, and completely yourself.

Every bride is different, and I take the time to understand your style, your vision, and what will make you feel your best, whether that’s soft and natural, modern glam, or something in between.

Being trusted to play a part in such a special day is something I never take for granted, and I put my whole heart into every booking.
