Your wedding day is not the time to wing it—or worry if your makeup will hold up through happy tears, flash photography, and hours on the dance floor.
As a professional bridal makeup artist, I bring more than just a beautiful kit. I bring:
Expertise That Goes Beyond Trends
From soft glam to timeless elegance, I don’t just apply makeup—I design a look that photographs beautifully, lasts all day, and reflects you. My signature approach enhances your features without masking them, so you feel confident, not overdone.
Luxury Products, Curated for Performance
My kit is stocked with elite brands chosen for their longevity, comfort, and camera-readiness—think Charlotte Tilbury, NARS, Pat McGrath, and more. Every product is tested on a variety of skin types and lighting conditions to ensure you look as radiant at midnight as you did at "I do."
Impeccable Hygiene & Skin Prep (Thanks, RN Training)
As a former RN, sanitation is second nature. My brushes, tools, and products are thoroughly disinfected between clients. And because flawless makeup starts with skin, I prep each face with high-end skincare so your base looks seamless and fresh.
Camera-Ready Confidence
Wedding photography doesn’t lie—and neither do HD lenses. I understand how lighting, texture, and flash affect your final look. Whether it’s an intimate elopement or a 200-guest ballroom affair, I ensure your makeup is tailored to both the eye and the lens.
Timeliness & Tranquility
You won’t find me scrambling with a half-closed lash glue at 9 a.m. I build detailed timelines and arrive early, so your morning feels calm, organized, and even fun. My brides never wonder where I am—they know I’m already setting up by the best window in the room.
It’s One Less Thing to Worry About
Wedding mornings can be a whirlwind. Knowing you’re in experienced, steady hands allows you to simply sit back, sip champagne, and soak it all in. Your only job? Enjoy the moment. I’ll handle the rest.
-
Your date is officially reserved with a signed contract and a non-refundable retainer. I don't hold dates without both, as this ensures I can give each bride the experience she deserves.
-
Brides typically book 12-18 months in advance. If your date falls during peak wedding season (spring or fall), I recommend reaching out sooner rather than later.
-
Yes, and I consider them an essential part of the process. Bridal previews are available to booked brides and scheduled closer to the wedding to reflect your skin tone, hairstyle, and final vision. This session is a true collaboration—we’ll refine your bridal look together so it feels effortless and elevated.
Bridal previews are reserved for my booked brides only. These are scheduled 1-3 months prior to your wedding. I do not travel for previews, they are exclusively done at my in home studio in Saginaw, Michigan.
-
Every bridal makeup application includes basic skin prep (hello, glow), a full soft glam application tailored to your features, false lashes, and a personalized touch-up kit for the day. I use only high-end, photo-tested products to ensure a flawless, long-lasting finish.
-
Yes! I offer makeup services for bridesmaids, mothers, and others in your wedding party. If your group is large or time is tight, I have several artists that I work with frequently to keep everything on schedule.
-
I do! I’m based in Saginaw, Michigan, but I travel throughout Michigan for bridal clients. Travel fees may apply depending on the distance and logistics—please include your getting-ready location when inquiring.
-
My kit is built with elite, professional-grade products from brands like Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, NARS, Danessa Myricks, and Patrick Ta. Each product is selected for performance, longevity, and skin compatibility—because your makeup should look incredible in person and on camera.
-
I schedule 75–90 minutes for the bride and about 45 minutes per bridal party member. I’ll also create a custom timeline to keep your morning smooth and on track.
-
Touch-ups are included before I leave, but I also offer extended stay packages if you’d like me on-hand for a second look or post-ceremony refresh.
-
Absolutely. I love reference photos that reflect your desired vibe, but I’ll always tailor the look to your features and preferences. The goal? You—but elevated.
