WELCOME. I’m Storme (silent ‘e’)
I am a professional wedding makeup artist and hairstylist with a passion for helping people to look and feel their best. I tailor create effortless looks that are natural and enhance your individual features and style. Each makeup application is personalised, leaving you feeling comfortable, confident and yourself on your special day. I specialise in soft, romantic and chic hairstyles that are elegant, long lasting and timeless.
I believe that your partner wants to see YOU coming down the aisle. And so our journey together involves a collaboration of me listening, finding out where your comfort level is, and designing a bespoke look that is PERFECTLY YOU AT YOUR BEST.
Due to popular demand and a high rate of inquiries, should I not be available, I am proud to offer a wonderful S Pro Team makeup artist that shares my enthusiasm, style and drive for the bridal industry.
I started my team in 2017, they are hand-picked, trained up by me. We are well established, and run a tight ship with Em on admin managing all our lovely clients too. I am so proud of my team and hand on my heart, this elite team is so talented. I would pick them for professional hair and makeup artists for my own wedding. ( In fact, I DID when I did my Vow Renewal!)
My Journey in beauty...
I started my career as a makeup artist, studying makeup straight after school. This was my ‘working’ Gap Year before studying psychology at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. However – I have always had a love for makeup, and a flair for the creative. My passion was fueled by my gap year studies, and I continued to freelance in makeup whilst doing my degree, thereafter I shifted my career path to suit my strengths and embraced my passion.
Having seen I was more of a creative than an academic, I strengthened my skills by studying Hairdressing, which compliments my makeup artistry.
Being strong at both disciplines allowed me the opportunity to be represented by one of the top artists management agencies in Cape Town. I have had the pleasure of working with big name brands such as Lipsy London, Coca Cola and Timberland to name a few.

Why I chose the wedding industry?
Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. After getting married in 2015, I followed the love of my life to London.
After many years of doing commercial, television photographic hair and makeup, fueled by what my wedding meant to me and a new-found passion for the bridal industry – I began my journey, starting a business in London, focusing on the joy of weddings!
Having experienced being a bride, I share all the excitement with my brides and love hearing about the day they have planned when meeting them at their bridal consultation.
It is such a privilege to be allowed into one’s bridal morning and it gives me great pleasure getting the bride and bridal party ready for such a special and important day.
More to me than makeup and hair...
My husband and I live in Kingston upon Thames. And my beautiful studio that I welcome my clients to is located in Thames Ditton, not too far away.
My partner is in the military and he couldn’t be prouder to serve this country.
We got married on a wine farm in Somerset West in Cape Town, South Africa in 2015.
My whole wedding was based on him wearing his red tunic uniform! He looked very handsome, but was a tad hot, so he did an outfit change.
We have two beautiful little fur babies. Harley (HarleyQuin) and Ivy (Poison Ivy) who are black and red Cockapoos. On my days off, we love to get out of the house for fresh air and lovely walks along the river or in Richmond Park. They have both brought so much joy into our lives.
We renewed our Vows
On our 10-year anniversary – we said I do (again!)
