Elena Little | Bridal Beauty

I can’t recommend Elena enough! She struck the perfect balance between elegance and keeping me looking like myself—exactly what I hoped for on my wedding day. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she was also an absolute joy to work with. She has such a calming, peaceful presence that made getting ready feel relaxed and fun. My entire bridal party was so impressed with her portfolio that they all chose to work with her as well—and we absolutely loved how our makeup and hair turned out. Everything looked flawless and held up beautifully all day and night, even through happy tears and hours of dancing! I kept hearing how much everyone loved their look and felt like the best version of themselves. Elena is not only a true professional, but she has an amazing gift for enhancing natural beauty and making each person feel confident and radiant. Whether someone wanted a more natural glow or a little extra glam, she nailed every look. I would absolutely recommend Elena to any bride—she’s everything you could hope for in a wedding makeup artist and more.

It was an amazing experience with Elena. Her makeup style was exactly what I was looking for on my wedding day. She made sure I had a natural glow that photographed well. Getting married in the summertime, I was worried about my makeup lasting and it did! I had no issues and appreciated her thoroughness in the process. I’d highly recommend!!!

I am so thankful I stumbled across Elena's profile on The Knot! I booked her for my wedding this past April and she far exceeded my expectations! I am not someone who wears much makeup normally and I was truly scared of someone caking on the contour for the wedding pictures (I want to look good in person, too!). Due to a condition, I also have no eyelashes which adds another layer of nervousness to asking someone to do my makeup. During our trial, Elena made me feel like a model and squashed all my worries in just an hour! She truly listened to what I wanted and I walked away feeling like I looked like the best version of myself. A week before the wedding, my mom and I booked facials with Elena to prep our skin for the wedding and (this is a side note) it was the best facial I have ever had! We actually plan to go on an ongoing basis! On the wedding day, Elena did my make-up to match what we decided on during the trial and she was able to place very realistic looking lashes on my eyes that lasted throughout the whole night (through sweat and tears and everything!). I felt beautiful and the makeup was exactly as desired. My mom also got her makeup done and could not stop beaming after everyone kept stopping her to say how beautiful she looked. All this to say that Elena is great at what she does, she is kind and enjoyable to be around, she listens to what you want, and she is very professional. 10/10 - I would definitely hire her again!
