Owner

I have been in the bridal industry for 20 years and specialize in beautifying my brides on their most special day. From a very young age, it was obvious that make up was not just something I loved but something I felt a stronger inner connection to and complete passion for. It is the biggest form of flattery to be selected to be part of your brides most precious day in her life. I have a sincere passion for beauty, helping women feel beautiful, guide them with a skincare regimen and most importantly give them the desired look they had always imagined for their wedding day.

nd my bridal party into photo-ready, stunning, glamorous beauties!! Her attention to detail in crafting my desired look to perfection was unmatched! Angela made my skin (which has some natural texture to it) look completely flawless, pore-less, and airbrush smooth, and gave me the most beautiful romantic soft glam look to match my waterfront reception. She has such a welcoming and warm personality and was a beacon of calm and peace in the chaos that comes with the morning of a wedding! Her artistry highlighted all my bridesmaids’ natural beauty, and she and her team were an absolute highlight in my day. Angela also was so sweet and delicate when she did my mother’s makeup, who tends to shy away from treating herself to glam. I will 100% work with Angela in the future for any professional makeup needs – I wish I could have her amazing skills on standby every time I leave the house! Angela is truly the best at what she does!

Our makeup looked flawless both in person and in photos, lasting the entire day! I actually still use the lip colors she picked for my wedding day because they complement my skin tone perfectly and are such nice quality. Not only was I impressed with the result, but I also appreciated how comfortable and relaxed the process was. Angela always creates a calm, enjoyable atmosphere when she does my makeup.

Angela is very thoughtful and even brought my one year old daughter a toy to help keep her entertained during the wedding day. Again absolutely perfect makeup could not have asked for a better makeup artist for my big day!!
