Makeup Artist Ripon, Harrogate, Leeds & the North Yorkshire area

As a Professional Makeup Artist specialising in Bridal and Wedding Makeup I have had the pleasure of being involved in some gorgeous weddings at some stunning venues. Choosing a venue for your wedding is probably the most important decision you’ll make as it pretty much defines your whole wedding day.

Yorkshire is one of the most beautiful counties in the country (if not THE most beautiful!)
So we are blessed with a plethora of gorgeous options when it comes to hotels and other wedding venues.

Here are some of my favourites:

Rudding Park
