make up artist doing final touches on bride before she leaves

"Every woman I work with is totally unique and I believe that the most important thing is that you still look like you."
Gemma Souter

Hey! I'm Gemma

Bridal hair & makeup artist, calm presence, and your extra pair of hands on the morning of your wedding

I’ve always believed your wedding morning should feel just as beautiful as the rest of your day.

Not rushed.
Not overwhelming.
Not something you have to manage.

After over 20 years in the industry and working with more than 900 brides, I know that it’s not just about creating beautiful hair and makeup…

It’s about how you feel while it’s happening.

My Approach

My approach is simple.

Soft, natural, effortless beauty that still feels like you, just a little more polished, a little more confident, and completely comfortable in your own skin.

But alongside that, I bring something my brides often say they didn’t realise they needed…

A sense of calm.

Someone who quietly keeps everything flowing.
Who notices the little things.
Who helps you stay present in the moment.

Bringing your vision to life.

My signature style is soft, romantic and effortless.

Glowing skin.
Hair with movement and texture.
Nothing too heavy, nothing too overdone.

Whether you’re drawn to a relaxed updo, a half-up style, or something softly undone, everything is tailored to suit you, your dress, and how you want to feel on the day.

Experience that puts you at ease.
Over the years, I’ve been so lucky to be part of hundreds of wedding mornings across Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire.

I’ve also been honoured to be chosen as the South’s Best Bridal Hair & Makeup Artist, something I’m incredibly proud of.

But what matters most to me is how my brides feel when they look in the mirror…

Confident.
Comfortable.
And completely themselves.

"Gemma was kind, knowledgeable and understanding. Although highly professional, I honestly thought I had hired a friend! Gemma calmed my nerves and allowed me to feel all the natural, chaotic emotions of a bride on her wedding day."
