QUESTIONS

THE EXPERIENCE

  • My focus is not just beautiful makeup, but a calm, organized, and supportive experience. From timeline planning to skin prep to final touch-ups, everything is designed to help you feel taken care of so you can fully enjoy your morning.

  • My style focuses on elevated, timeless beauty that enhances your natural features while still feeling like you. Skin is always the priority- soft, polished, and camera-ready without feeling heavy. My goal is for you to look like the best version of yourself, both in person and in photos.

  • Every face is different, and every bride has a different vision. I take into account your features, skin type, comfort level with makeup, and overall wedding aesthetic to create something that feels cohesive and intentional.

  • I use a curated mix of professional and luxury products chosen for their performance, longevity, and skin-friendly formulas. My kit includes brands commonly used in editorial and bridal artistry, and everything is selected to photograph beautifully while still looking natural in person. If you have sensitivities or favorite products, I’m always happy to incorporate those as well.

  • Longevity starts with proper skin prep. I carefully prepare each client’s skin based on their skin type before makeup is applied, then layer products intentionally to create a finish that holds up through photos, hugs, happy tears, and dancing. I also apply a soft body glow to the chest and décolletage to ensure everything looks cohesive and radiant in photos. Touch-up guidance is always provided so you feel confident your makeup will look beautiful from morning until the last event of the night.

BOOKING

  • Us beauty professionals are in high demand and our calendars fill out faster than you’d think. Most brides book one year in advance, especially for peak dates (May-October). That said, I always recommend reaching out as soon as you have your date secured. If your wedding is sooner, still inquire! I occasionally have last-minute availability.

  • Submit an inquiry through my contact form with your date, location, and any other information for your event. From there I will confirm availability, send over pricing information, and walk you through the next steps. I’m always happy to answer questions you may have!

  • Your date is officially reserved once your signed contract and deposit are received. Dates cannot be held without a completed booking.

  • While I’m based in Fargo, ND, whether you’re hosting a lakeside wedding in Northern Minnesota or a ceremony with a Mediterranean view in Italy, I’m here for it! Extended travel and lodging applies. Please continue to inquire for more information.

  • I primarily work independently to provide a very personalized experience, but I do have a trusted network of artists I bring in when timelines require additional support.

WEDDING DAY DETAILS

  • Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding morning with just the bride or celebrating with a larger bridal party, I’m happy to accommodate both. I’ll build the timeline around your group size to keep the morning feeling smooth and enjoyable, and can always bring in an additional artist if needed.

  • I typically plan about 45 minutes per person to ensure everyone receives a polished, unhurried application. If your group is larger or your timeline is tighter, I can adjust the schedule or bring in an additional artist to keep everything running smoothly.

  • Yes! I can stay for a few hours during photos to assist with touch-ups before your ceremony, or remain longer throughout the day if you’d like continued support. Extended touch-up time can always be added if you’d like that extra peace of mind.

  • Good makeup starts with good skin prep! I always recommend sticking to a consistent skincare routine leading up to your wedding. If you enjoy treatments like a facial or dermaplaning, scheduling those about 1–2 weeks before the wedding can help your skin feel especially smooth and fresh. Avoid trying any new or aggressive products right before the big day to prevent unexpected reactions.

INVESTMENT

  • Yes! I offer thoughtfully designed bridal collections to fit different wedding needs, whether you're wanting a more minimal experience or additional support throughout the process. Each collection is designed to provide a seamless, elevated experience from your preview through your wedding day.

  • Brides who book the Diamond Bridal Collection receive a curated touch-up kit to help you stay looking flawless throughout the day. This includes a full-size version of the lip product we choose at your preview, a mini setting spray, pressed powder, and other essentials for easy touch-ups. It’s one of the ways I help make sure you feel confident and photo-ready long after your makeup is complete.

  • Yes! I also offer makeup for engagement sessions, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, and other special moments leading up to your wedding. Many brides choose to schedule their bridal preview around one of these occasions so they can enjoy their makeup and see how it wears before the big day. Single event bookings are always available as well.
