About me..

Expressing myself through different forms of art.

Hi I'm Kay, the founder of PKay Bridal, I head up a team of professional Photographers, Makeup-artists and Hairstylists. I'm based in Herts & Essex and I cover the UK and international locations,.

From someone who worked myself toward a maths and science major, but who had always been in love with the world of art, I decided after graduating in Graphic design, Illustration and Marketing in 2010, to start off my Makeup career working on Editorials and Fashion & Beauty photoshoots. Since then my experience working on Photo-Shoots has given me wonderful opportunities to work with many different talented photographers, who are the best in their specialised fields, such as Katherline Lyndia - one of the finest Swiss photographers, Martin Higgs - one of Britain's best beauty photographers and Eric Chezn - an amazingly talented French Fashion photographer. Who served as inspiration for my own journey into the world of professional photography.

Inspiration

Journey to the discovery,

The world through my lens.

I believe that we are living in a world filled with inspiration, creativity, and interesting subjects. I found my own inspiration as a photographer through travelling the world, experiencing different cultures, some weird, some wonderful and from visiting epic locations and tasting amazing local foods. The idea of capturing those experiences and memories inspired me, my love and passion to create and capture something meaningful is a strong impulse that has inspired me to capture the beauty of it all. Through make-up and photography I have truly found the joy of expressing myself through a living form of art.

My Photography
Journey

At university photography formed part of my course, it was a lot of fun using a traditional film camera from start to finish... developing the film in the dark room, and watching the images that you last saw through the lens come to life on paper. Later, as a makeup artist who has worked with many brilliant photographers, I took every chance to act as their assistant - helping with lighting, capturing ‘behind the scene’ images and more general things on set...this provided me with a wonderful opportunity to learn many things about photography first hand over the years.

I travel a lot for both work and holidays and have always enjoyed capturing images of the landscapes, scenery and people I met there - around 2016 I realised that more and more I was seeing and expressing the world through a camera lens, and I decided to take that love and turn it into a career.

What makes my heart race!

Holidays & Travelling the world, I can never get enough of exploring our planet earth!
Spending time with my soulmate, Rich. My best friend, my travel buddy, my Uber, my nemesis, the love of my life and my hubby.
Spa & Massage, a total zen moment of tranquillity, peace and the ultimate relaxation.
Food, I'm a big foodie, anything from street food to fine dinning. I enjoy cooking, baking exploring new flavours, ingredients and culture.
Asian cuisine, I can't fight my DNA.
Spring, I loveeee flowers even if I'm suffering from hay fever, I would do anything to be in the blooms! The sight of Japan during cherry blossom still sticks to my mind until today.
New Series anything that is unpredictable with good twist! I love SiFi, action, supernatural, detective, documentary, horror.
Non fizzy cocktails and Icy drinks, it's become a habit of mine, growing up in the tropical Sun, icy drinks are definitely a treat in hot and humid weather.
The colour of the sky & sea... all shade of white & blue.
All things candles, scented candle are just...xx

What turn me off!

Dirty toilets make me want to cry!
Violence and abuse (Either mental or physical abuse toward animals or humans just don't do it alright)
Super cheesy and predictable TV shows.
Fizzy drinks, the bubbles just kill my nose.
Snakes, I would run the other way if they decide to pop out to say hello.
Exercise, Rich still try very hard to make me like it.
Racism & Discriminations
Natto, Japanese fermented soybeans. I love every other type of fermented bean but this one just doesn't float my boat.
Unpleasant smell, I realise over the years that have a strong sense of smell - it is a curse!
