Bridal hair and makeup for Port Stephens weddings
Modern bridal hair and makeup for Port Stephens brides who want to feel unmistakably themselves. I come to you, whether you're getting ready in a beachfront suite at the Anchorage Hotel & Spa, a private home in Nelson Bay, Corlette, or Shoal Bay, or an eco cabin at The Oasis Weddings and Events. You focus on the morning. I'll handle everything else.
I've spent my career working with brides across the Hunter and Port Stephens region, from Nelson Bay and Anna Bay through to Medowie and Salamander Bay. I know this peninsula, I know how wedding mornings run here, and I know how to keep yours calm, on time, and beautiful.

Venues
Port Stephens wedding venues I love
Port Stephens draws couples for its calm blue waters, white sand dunes, and relaxed coastal pace: a world away from the city, yet close enough to make the morning simple. I've worked at venues across the peninsula, from beachfront function rooms in Nelson Bay to private homes overlooking Shoal Bay and Corlette.
For brides getting ready at resorts and hotels, I travel throughout Port Stephens to properties including the Anchorage Hotel & Spa, Shoal Bay Country Club, The Oasis Weddings and Events, and The Retreat Port Stephens. I know these spaces well: the light, the layout, and how much time to allow so nothing feels rushed on the morning of your Port Stephens bridal hair and makeup appointment.
Beyond Nelson Bay, I travel to getting-ready locations across Salamander Bay, Soldiers Point, Fingal Bay, Anna Bay, and Medowie. If you're anywhere on the peninsula, chances are I've worked nearby.
On the Day
What to expect on your Port Stephens wedding day
I arrive early, set up quietly, and work through the morning with intention. Whether I'm in a resort suite at Nelson Bay or a private home in Shoal Bay, Corlette, or Salamander Bay, the approach is the same: calm, considered, and completely focused on you.
Before the morning arrives, I'll send a considered preparation checklist covering skin prep, hair colour timing, brow appointments, and lash prep, everything you need to walk into your morning completely ready. I'll also send a personalised timeline once your guest list is confirmed, so everyone knows exactly when to expect me.
A travel fee applies to bookings across Port Stephens, calculated transparently and confirmed in writing before you book, with no surprises. My approach is unhurried and uncompromising, and every Port Stephens bride receives the most considered version of my work.

Hair and makeup previews are held at Estillo studio in Cardiff, NSW, around 45 minutes from Nelson Bay via the Nelson Bay Road. Free parking is available at the studio. I recommend booking your bridal hair and makeup Port Stephens preview 4–6 weeks before your wedding date.
I typically arrive 15–30 minutes before the first appointment to set up my kit and get comfortable in the space. Once your booking is confirmed, I'll send a personalised morning timeline so every person on your list knows exactly when to expect me.
Yes. For hair and makeup together, I style up to three people entirely by myself, four to seven with one additional talented stylist at no additional cost, and eight to ten with two additional talented stylists, so every person receives the same considered finish, wherever you're getting ready on the peninsula. For hair only or makeup only, I can personally style up to six people, since each service takes roughly half the time.
A booking deposit secures your date. Cancellation terms are clearly outlined in your contract before you commit. No surprises. Port Stephens Saturdays in the warmer months fill quickly, so I'd recommend enquiring as early as possible.
