My own wedding, of course! It was an intimate celebration on a beautiful island — simple, heartfelt, and surrounded by the people I love most. It reminded me that the most meaningful weddings aren’t about size or extravagance, but about love, connection, and the joy of sharing that special moment together.
Radiant, Elegant, Natural, Timeless, and Calming
I’m most proud of the calm and comforting energy I bring to every wedding morning. Many of my brides tell me they instantly feel relaxed once we start. As a nurturer by nature, I love creating a peaceful atmosphere where each bride can take a deep breath, enjoy the moment, and feel truly cared for while I bring her vision to life.
Take a moment to pause and enjoy the journey, it goes by so quickly! Don’t stress over every little detail; what truly matters is the love you’re celebrating. Surround yourselves with suppliers you trust, so you can relax and be fully present on your special day.
My own little rituals during bridal prep! I love playing calm music, giving a gentle face massage before makeup, and staying close to the bride during photos to make sure she always looks and feels her best. Those quiet, caring moments make the day feel even more special.
I like to start with a friendly chat to get to know the bride and her vision ,her style, theme, and how she wants to feel on the big day. From there, we plan a trial session to create the perfect look together, making sure it complements her dress, features, and personality.
On the wedding day, I arrive early to set up my mobile studio, play calm music, and create a relaxed atmosphere. I stay close by for any touch-ups or last-minute adjustments, ensuring the bride looks and feels flawless from morning to evening.
I love that my brides don’t just become clients ,they often become friends. Being part of such a special, emotional day builds a real connection, and it’s such a joy to see their happiness and share in those unforgettable moments. After overcoming cancer, I’ve come back to my passion with a renewed sense of purpose, helping every bride feel her most beautiful and confident self. This journey reminded me why I truly love what I do.
Less is more , focus on enhancing your natural beauty rather than hiding it. Great skincare, rest, and hydration are just as important as makeup for that radiant bridal glow.
I create a relaxed and soothing environment from the moment I arrive. Calm music, gentle conversation, and small touches like a face massage or warm beverage help set the tone. I stay close throughout the prep, guiding her through each step so she feels supported, confident, and completely at ease.
Hire me hahaha! I’ll make sure your makeup stays flawless from morning to evening, so you can relax, enjoy every moment, and look radiant in every photo.
