I've been a part of the wedding industry for over 15 years, providing the ultimate makeup experience is my specialty. My signature bridal style is timeless soft glam, but I love creating a customized look tailored to each bride and guest in my chair. It all begins in the skin prep! As an esthetician I recommend beginning any facial treatments 6-12 months before the big day.

Congratulations, you're engaged! I recommend booking your makeup 6-8 months in advance.

Next up: engagement photos! Once you've picked a date with your photographer get your makeup scheduled allowing enough travel time between makeup and photos. Most importantly, book your bridal trial 1-2 months before the wedding.

It's your big day! Now that we've had a run through of your makeup, we've got a game plan ready to go for the wedding day

When you look and feel beautiful, that emotion is reflected in your body language and to the camera. It makes the photographers job a lot easier when hair and skin are at their best!
