Chloe, my beautiful bride from the USA, was an absolute vision. 🤍

I had the best time creating her bridal hair and makeup for such a special day at the . Thank you, Chloe, for trusting me to be part of your wedding day. I loved creating this look for you ✨

I thought I’d start bringing you along with me. I wanted to create something a little different and give you a behind-the-scenes look at the beautiful places I get to work, alongside the beautiful hair and makeup that goes into every wedding morning.
✨ Welcome to Wedding Venue Diaries.
Follow along as I take you inside some of Portugal’s most beautiful wedding venues, share behind-the-scenes moments from real wedding mornings, and show you what it’s really like to travel this incredible country doing what I love.
I can’t wait to take you with me. 🤍

Before I pick up a brush or a curling iron, I take the time to talk about your vision, what makes you feel most beautiful, and the little details that make the look feel like you.

The consultation is just as important as the hair and makeup itself because the most beautiful bridal looks are the ones that feel authentically you.

I still can’t believe I got to be part of this day. Getting Niesha ready on the morning of her wedding at Palácio de Queluz was such a special experience. Not because of who she is, but because of how genuine, relaxed and excited she was to marry the love of her life. These are the moments I love most. She’s just as kind and down-to-earth as she is talented, and seeing everything come together for such a beautiful day was something I’ll never forget.

Why my brides book me from the other side of the world. It isn’t just about the makeup. My brides are planning a wedding in another country, often without ever visiting Portugal first. They need someone who communicates clearly, keeps everything organised, creates a calm wedding morning, and delivers makeup and hair that lasts from the first photo until the last dance.

It was such a pleasure getting Vanessa ready for her destination wedding in one of Portugal’s most beautiful coastal towns. We created a timeless bridal hair and makeup look that felt effortlessly elegant. Thank you, Vanessa, for trusting me to be part of such a special morning.🤍

This is what happens when a bride trusts her hair and makeup artist completely.

Diana flew from Toronto for her wedding in Portugal she didn’t look at herself once. Not after her makeup. Not after her hair. Not even a quick peek in the mirror.

She waited until she was fully dressed and ready to marry the man of her dreams.

That level of trust is something I never take for granted.

What made the day even more special was how much fun we had together. It felt less like work and more like spending the morning with a friend. We laughed, chatted, and discovered we had so much in common.

Diana, thank you for trusting me so wholeheartedly and for allowing me to be part of such an unforgettable day.

The legendary Niesha Butler — WNBA icon, record-breaker, entrepreneur, and one of the most genuinely warm and beautiful souls I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Getting to be part of her wedding day in Portugal was the biggest honour. You knew exactly what you wanted and trusted me completely. The brief: sexy vixen — and I think it was delivered. What a beautiful day and what a beautiful bride. 🤍
