bridal services

by Sophie Johnson

You might be a bride who has her dream look completely planned out, or you may have no idea where to start—and that’s perfectly okay! During your trial, we’ll explore your dress, wedding style, and your comfort levels with hair and makeup to create a look that’s tailor-made just for you.

Whether you're working with me or one of my trusted team members, our goal is the same: to design a look that enhances your features, complements your colouring, and is timeless, stylish, and beautifully photogenic—so you’ll love your photos for years to come.

We say no to heavy Instagram trends and cakey makeup that only looks good behind a filter. Instead, we create flawless, glowing skin, eyes that pop, and romantic, effortless hair that feels like you—only elevated. You’ll still look like yourself, just the most confident, radiant version of you as you walk down the aisle.

Compliments

We were lucky enough to use Sophie TWICE!!!! She is absolutely wonderful! We had a covid wedding in 2021, Sophie made both of us brides look and feel stunning! This week (2023) we got Sophie back for 2 brides, 2 mother of brides and 2 bridesmaids! Again she made us all feel great! She tailored to each of the women to what was most suitable to their style and I completely trusted her keen eye for my bridal make up. Sophie was also able to bring Bonnie for all of our hair needs! Both of these women were amazing, kind and super talented! Thank you for making our day(s) so special!

As someone who does not have much make up knowledge, I felt 100% at ease trusting Sophie's skills and experience in what look/colours would suit me. Sophie did an amazing job with the make up for myself, my bridesmaids and my mum. Sophie was punctual, warm, professional and relaxed helping to create the perfect stress-free wedding day. Sophie went above and beyond, even helping with my daughter's hair when my SIL ran out of time. Thank you so much for helping make our day perfect!!

I had the privilege of Sophie doing my makeup for my wedding late last year. Sophie also organised a very talented hair artist do accompany her and do our hair- Bonnie. Sophie's communication leading up to our wedding was faultless. I sent Sophie Pinterest inspiration photos and during the trial she helped created a makeup look that was perfect to me. On our wedding day, Sophie (and Bonnie) worked as an incredible team to do hair and makeup for a bridal party of three and two mums. These ladies helped make us all feel like a glamorous version of ourselves. I highly recommend Sophie.

Having Sophie and Bonnie as our hair and makeup stylists were without a doubt one of our best decisions. I don't wear makeup regularly and I was so glad that Sophie provided full coverage without it feeling too heavy! I could not recommend a better team, they made us all feel beautiful and catered to all our preferences, whilst also offering recommendations. Thank you Sophie and Bonnie, you two are a dream team!

What you, the beautiful bride will experience...

FRIENDLY AND PERSONAL SERVICE

When you book with SJ Brides & Events, you’re booking a boutique team personally led and managed by me, Sophie. I’ll be your dedicated point of contact from your first inquiry right through to your wedding day, ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience with no confusion or miscommunication.

While I may not personally attend every wedding, I still take on the majority of bookings and oversee all weddings myself. If I’m not available on your date, you’ll have the option before you book, to be looked after by one of my trusted, hand-picked artists—each of whom shares my signature style and high standards. Every artist is someone I’ve chosen for their skill, professionalism, and warm approach, and you’ll always know exactly who your artist is well in advance.

For larger bridal parties, I’ll coordinate additional artists as needed (at no extra cost), allowing you to book all your hair and makeup services through one trusted vendor—making the entire process effortless and enjoyable.

dedication to your day

Unlike large agencies, I personally manage every booking and only take on a limited number of weddings each day across my team. This ensures each of our brides receives the attention, care, and time they deserve—never rushed, never overbooked.

From start to finish, my priority is that you feel confident, beautiful, and completely looked after. Whether it’s me or one of my trusted artists by your side on the day, we’ll take the time to understand your vision and create a look that enhances your natural beauty and lasts flawlessly through every moment.

Your own portal

You'll receive your own portal login, giving you 24/7 access to all our correspondence, invoices, completed forms, and beauty guides—everything you need in one convenient place.
Your personalized beauty guide includes expert tips on skincare, hair preparation, and a timeline for booking services like tanning and waxing. With my experience and guidance, you'll feel confident and prepared every step of the way.

These honours reflect the dedication and high standards I bring to every client experience.

Originally trained by a leading industry professional, I continue to invest in advanced education and training to stay at the forefront of trends and techniques. Hair and makeup is not just my job—it’s my passion. Whether you work with me or one of my talented team members, you’ll receive the same level of care, artistry, and commitment to creating a look you truly love.

I alone have the privilege of working on 60–70 weddings each year, bringing my passion for bridal hair and makeup to countless beautiful moments. Beyond weddings, I also provide services for commercial shoots, special events, formals, and weekday trials.
I’m not tied to a single brand, which allows me to curate a diverse selection of high-quality makeup and hair products tailored to every skin tone and hair type. My kit includes well-known favorites like Armani, Stila, Laura Mercier, and Born This Way, alongside professional-grade brands such as RCMA, Viseart, and Cinema Secrets—trusted by makeup artists in film and television.

Every product I use is carefully selected for its longevity and flawless finish in photos, ensuring your hair and makeup look stunning from the first moment to the last.
