The Artist

Gessica
Freire

Born in Brazil. Based in Darlington. Eight years working with brides, celebrities and editorial clients across the UK, Europe and beyond. London brides love her.

Her work is guided by one principle: makeup should enhance who you are, not replace it. Whether you are getting married in a London townhouse or on a clifftop in Santorini, the result should feel entirely yours.

She specialises in skin that photographs beautifully and holds through an entire day. Every detail considered. Nothing overdone.

Questions

Everything you need to know.

How far in advance should I book?+
Bridal bookings are typically made 6 to 18 months in advance, particularly for peak season (May to September). Destination weddings are best confirmed 9 to 12 months ahead. Contact the team to check your date's availability.
What does the trial involve?+
A dedicated 90-minute session with Gessica to create and refine your wedding day look. Gessica discusses your vision, conducts skin and undertone analysis, plans your wedding morning timeline, and ensures you feel completely confident. The Studio Trial is £49. Both the Signature Package (£479) and The Full Journey (£979) include this trial. If you have already done the £49 studio trial, the £179 trial value is deducted from your package — meaning you pay £300 for the Signature or £800 for The Full Journey.
Who qualifies for the £49 trial?+
The £49 Studio Trial is open to any new bride in the UK. You simply come to Gessica's studio in Darlington, County Durham. Gessica does not travel for the Studio Trial. In exchange, you leave a Google review or share a social media post tagging @gessicafreiremakeup, and provide a before & after photo. Full T&Cs here.
How do travel costs work?+
For the Signature Package and Full Journey, Gessica travels to you anywhere in the UK: London, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, Liverpool and beyond. Travel costs are quoted and confirmed before you commit to booking. They are non-refundable across all packages and services, as they are booked and paid in advance. Add-ons booked on your wedding day carry no extra travel cost.
Do you travel for destination weddings?+
Yes. Gessica travels internationally with destination packages starting from £1,199 for the bride. Travel and accommodation are quoted separately at cost and confirmed before you commit — no surprise charges. Popular destinations include Portugal, Italy, Greece, France and Spain, but no destination is off the table. Learn more →
Can you accommodate the full bridal party?+
Yes. Bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, sisters, aunts, and guests can all be added. Bridal party add-ons are £150 per person, or £130 per person for a party of four or more, any combination counts. Add-ons on your wedding day carry no extra travel cost as Gessica is already with you.
Can Gessica use photos and videos from my session?+
By confirming any booking, clients grant Gessica Freire permission to photograph, record, and use images and footage across social media, websites, and other marketing platforms. If you wish to restrict the use of your images, please notify the team in writing before your appointment. This applies to all packages and services.
What are your booking terms?+
A deposit secures your date. Full terms are shared at the time of enquiry. Gessica's team responds to all enquiries within 12 hours on business days, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. View full T&Cs →
