Meet Your Artist

Hi, I'm Lucy.

I'm Lucy, a Hertfordshire bridal makeup artist who genuinely loves being part of wedding mornings.

I've worked at Sopwell House before, so I already know the space and the light, and how to plan your morning around it. My aim is for your getting-ready to feel calm, unhurried and completely looked after.

Your Wedding Day

Getting married at Sopwell House?

A Georgian country house hotel on the edge of St Albans, once the private residence of Lord Mountbatten, set in 12 acres of Hertfordshire countryside.

On the morning, I'll arrive at your getting-ready location and recreate the look we planned together. Your bridal preview can be at my private studio in Kings Langley, around 20-25 minutes from Sopwell House.

I only ever take one wedding a day, so you have my full, unhurried attention from start to finish.

Signature Style

Soft, polished & completely you.

My bridal style is all about enhancing your natural features, never masking them. Think radiant, skin-like coverage, beautifully defined eyes, and soft, timeless makeup that photographs just as beautifully as it feels.

Kind Words

From my brides.

“Lucy was the most lovely professional make up artist for myself, mother and bridesmaids for my wedding. We all loved our looks, make up lasted all day also! 100% recommend.”

Lisa Parkinson

“Lucy Mae did my mother-in-law and sister-in-law's makeup for our wedding day. Wow, they looked beautiful! The makeup lasted all day. Lucy's communication was spot on, she was professional and the girls said she is really friendly.”

Harriet Moore

“Lucy Mae is the most amazing makeup artist! She made me feel so beautiful and did my bridal makeup exactly how I had imagined it. I received so many lovely comments throughout the day, and my makeup stayed flawless from morning right through to the night without needing a single touch-up. Myself and my bridesmaids were absolutely delighted with our makeup, and I honestly couldn't have asked for anything more. I'm so glad I chose Lucy to be part of such a special day — she was incredible from start to finish. I can't recommend her enough!”

A Few Questions

Before you book.

Have you worked at Sopwell House before?

Yes, I've worked as a makeup artist at Sopwell House before, and I'd love to be part of your wedding day there.

Is travel to Sopwell House included in the price?

Travel within 10 miles of Kings Langley is included in your bridal makeup price. For locations further afield, I calculate the additional travel by mileage and confirm this with you when I check your date.

What if I'm getting ready at Sopwell House on the morning?

That's no problem at all. I'll come to you and work around your hair, photography and ceremony timings, so your morning feels calm and organised.

Do you take more than one wedding on the same day?

No, I only ever take one wedding a day, so you have my full, unhurried attention from start to finish.

Do I need a bridal preview?

It isn't compulsory, but I really recommend it. It gives us time to create your look together without any time pressure, so there's no guesswork on your wedding morning. Read my guide to what to expect at your bridal preview.

How do I check your availability for my date?

Send me your wedding date, venue and a few details about your plans. I'll get back to you within 24 hours, and your date is secured with a 15% deposit once we've confirmed everything together.
