With roots in celebrity, fashion, and multi-day wedding weekends, I take what’s tucked away in your saved folder and translate it into something sharper, chicer, and more intentional through real collaboration.

Hair and makeup that is identity alchemy.

I mix pigment, texture, and intention to create looks that feel editorial without trying too hard, effortless without being boring, and personal in a way no inspo photo could ever predict.

Beauty that looks like you at your most iconic.

"You were my beauty expert, my friend, therapist, hype woman, and shoulder to lean on (literally and figuratively).  Having you with me for all of my wedding weekend events was like having a safe space to go to before and during each event. You also kept me laughing and reminded me to stay in the moment. AND I HAVE NEVER FELT MORE BEAUTIFUL, CONFIDENT, SEXY, ALL THE THINGS! You were essential!"

THE EXPERIENCE

This is not just about how you look on the wedding day. It is about how supported you feel leading up to it. From skincare decisions months out to seamless execution across a multi-day event, my role is to guide, refine, and execute beauty at the highest level so nothing feels rushed, reactive, or chaotic.

We Start With A Strategy Call
Once your date is secured, we begin with a video consultation. We talk through your skin, hair, personal style, fashion choices, venues, and the overall tone of your wedding weekend. This is where I give you clear, honest guidance on what to start, what to skip, and what actually matters. This is also the beginning of our relationship and how we get to know each other.

Then There's Ongoing Beauty Guidance
You are not handed off after booking. I remain a consistent point of contact in the months leading up to your wedding, answering questions, refining plans, and troubleshooting as things evolve. New skincare question. Hair panic after a trim. I am here. I will even send you inspo and links when you share you are struggling to find the perfect welcome party earrings.

I'm Working With Your Creative Team
I work directly with your planner and creative partners to ensure beauty aligns seamlessly with the design, timeline, and overall guest experience. I understand the demands of complex, high-level events and show up prepared, communicative, and easy to work with. Your planner should not have to manage me. They trust me to manage myself.

The Preview Can Happen When Most Convenient For You
We meet in person for your preview appointment in a setting where you feel comfortable. The timing is intentionally flexible and based on what makes the most sense for your schedule. Many clients choose to pair their preview with a final dress fitting, while others prefer to schedule it the week of the wedding. Either way, the goal is the same: a thoughtful, unrushed preview that fits seamlessly into your plans.

Your Wedding Weekend Hair and Makeup
My bridal experience includes full-event, on-site support and touch-ups. From the first event to the final moments of the night, your beauty experience should feel calm, considered, and unrushed. I specialize in creating multiple looks that feel distinct yet connected, each one shaped by fashion, setting, and the natural rhythm of the weekend. My goal is to create an environment where you can slow down, feel taken care of, and stay fully present. Timelines shift. Moments run long. Priorities change. I stay on-site for the entire event, remaining flexible to pivots and transitions as they happen. This is not an add-on or an upgrade. It is the experience I offer, and the way I work. From the moment you step into your gown until the celebration is truly finished, I am there to anticipate needs.

INCLUSIVE. PERIOD.
I am committed to working with people from all walks of life. I am a fully inclusive business, celebrate all races, genders, sexualities, religions, ages, and body types.
