Sometimes I think I’ve gotten used to what I do for a living and then I have a bride react like this and I’m like… nope. This is actually still really freaking cool. 🥹

Over 10 years in and getting to be part of someone’s wedding morning still doesn’t feel like a normal job.

I hope it never does 🤎

It starts with a little time to settle in, skin prep, de-puffing + facial massage… and ends with “I can get married now!” 🥹

There’s a lot that happens in between those two moments, but this is always the goal: for you to get out of my chair feeling completely like yourself, completely beautiful, and SO ready to go get married.

Megan, you were an absolute dream.

Erin didn’t need three versions of the same makeup look. She needed three looks that made sense for three completely different moments.

Her preview was where we figured out what she loved, what felt right and where we wanted to take things for the wedding.

Then came rehearsal dinner glam. A chance to do something different because why repeat the wedding look the night before?

And then wedding morning, where everything we learned along the way came together into the look she actually walked down the aisle in.

Three occasions. Three different looks. And most importantly, Erin felt beautiful in every single one. ✨

Natural doesn’t have to mean no makeup at all.

It can still be polished skin, soft definition, a little color in the right places and all the tiny details that make you feel put together without feeling overly “done.”

Sometimes the prettiest makeup is the kind you almost can’t pinpoint.
