I chose April to do my makeup for my wedding since she had done my makeup at several other weddings and events, and I had always been thrilled with her work. Not only is April professional and very knowledgeable, she is also extremely personabl...e. She remembers (and kept notes!) on my likes and dislikes for makeup styles, which was GREAT since I typically only know how to operate a mascara wand ;) On your wedding day, you want to minimize your stress and worries as much as possible. With April, I knew I was in good hands, and getting my makeup done felt like a relaxing treat, instead of part of the to-do list. She listened to what I wanted, was willing to tweak things here and there as we went along, and made me feel 100% comfortable. Her sense of humor fit right in with my wedding party, and she kept us laughing all afternoon. I would recommend April 100 times over (and think that I already have, since all of my friends have used her for their weddings!) You can't beat a makeup artist with incredible talent AND a wonderful heart.
