Sunshine Brides is Valentina Pintus, a hair and make-up artist specialising in international brides, with natural, radiant make-up and timeless hairstyles.

Trained extensively in Italy and London, Valentina focuses on enhancing natural beauty so brides look like a more refined version of themselves. Fifteen years of experience, with features in Elle and Vogue Italia, she deliberately steers away from fad trends and Instagram crazes in favour of a modern twist on classic styling. Her confidence is contagious, which is what lets brides relax into the day feeling understood and at ease.

We love her for Australian and international brides marrying in Italy who want polished hair and make-up that lasts all night and photographs perfectly.

Good to know: Valentina's European calendar runs from June through to August, so it's worth checking her dates early.
