About
Gemma Sutton
Gemma Sutton Professional Wedding Hair & Makeup Artist.
Founder & Head Makeup and Hair Designer
“Make-up & hair should always be about enhancing your natural beauty, rather than masking it. No rules or boundaries – just endless possibilities”
I am a fun creative energetic person. I love fashion, beauty and of course everything to do with a beautiful wedding, it’s the perfect excuse to get excited!
My career in Makeup and Hair began 15 years ago in the Film and TV Industry. Friends of friends started asking me to do their hair and makeup for their Wedding day. I absolutely love spending one of the most important days of a woman’s life with them and making them look and feel the best version of themselves.
Make up and Hair for any bride to be is such a personal thing, and I am honoured that a bride puts their trust in me on one of the most important days of their lives.
My aim is to transform and empower brides with perfection and confidences as if they have just stepped out of a glossy wedding magazine.
I am very lucky to say that I love – love my job, it has taken me all over the world and I have had the chance to work with some of the best Photographers, Celebrities, Incredible venues and to be recognized as an industry leading professional.
Demand for my services has soared in the last three years, in 2014 we won The Wedding Industry Awards Best Makeup Artist in the London and South East region and I am very proud to say that The National Award has been awarded to us in 2015.
I love working with all my beautiful brides but unfortunately I can’t make every bride’s big day, but I am committed to our brand’s promise of making every bride beautiful, so I started recommending brides to industry colleagues which led me to establishing my very own professional team.
Over the last nine years I have been recruiting and cultivating some of the best talent in the makeup and hair industry to join my exceptional Pro Team. All of them share my passion for makeup and hair and go through my personal rigorous training regime so that I can personally guarantee their level of skill, in fact I am very proud to say that some of their resumes surpass my own.
I can confidently say with my hand on my heart that when you book one of my professional team members that you can feel confident that I will be at your side.
Myself and our elite fully trained pro team look after 100’s and 100’s of beautiful brides during the year. Whether it is a Boho – Vintage – Glamorous – Natural or a Shabby Chic Bridal style, myself or the GS Pro Team will create the perfect look and style for you.
Jenni
As a little girl growing up in Surrey, working in the wedding industry was something I always wanted to do when I imagined getting married under the pink cherry blossom trees which adorned the walkway to our local park. After a long and varied corporate career, moving from Surrey to Devon, meeting Gemma and Olly, those dreams finally came true, and I am proud to be part of Gemma’s amazing team.
A born organiser who loves to chat, I enjoy getting to know each of our beautiful brides, collaborating with them, ensuring they get the right artist to meet their needs and being part of their special day.
I am lucky to work part-time and on days off and holidays my life revolves around my children and grandchildren and you will probably find me relaxing at our little beach hut in Bude, watching them surfing or out and about photographing the stunning scenery around the North Cornwall and Devon coastline.
Olly
Gem & I have been together for the last 10 years and have had our two children together, Spencer & CoCo
I’ve always helped Gem out with running around and admin behind the scenes.
Since CoCo was born I’ve been a bit more involved helping out with enquiries and organising things behind the scenes.
I work from home so I’m normally always on hand to answer the phone and help with any questions or queries, I’m the first to say when I’m not sure about something and will immediately tap Gem or Jenni up for the right info 🙂
