I LOVED my makeup on my wedding day and felt SO beautiful :) JoAnne did a trial before to ensure it was exactly how I wanted, and she came prepared on wedding day with backups and ...
more options in case she needed them. She was so fun to work with, and the assistants she works with are top notch as well. You should absolutely book her because of the fun you'll have with her, the amazing makeup skills she has, and how beautiful you'll feel all day long (that airbrush makeup holds up through the August Kentucky heat!)!! Thank you again, JoAnne!! :)

Joanne did my make up for my wedding and I loved it! She also did the makeup of all of my bridesmaids and moms so beautifully! Usually I don't like airbrush because I feel like it ...
makes me look old, but her airbrush was so well done and made me feel perfect. I didn't even feel like I had make up on. It lasted the entire day and looked perfect for 12+ hours. I did a trial with her first, and she came into our wedding day prepped and ready to go. Her pricing was reasonable for our entire party and her and her assistant finished everyone's makeup early on the day of the wedding. If I had to do the day over, I would pick her again! (I am attaching photos from the wedding day that were taken by Madison with MM Photo Co.!)

g all of the emotions a bride can feel in that moment. She ensured that I felt taken care of, always wore a big smile and certainly turned me into a beautiful bride! As a Louisville native with an impressive modeling & beyond career, she knows all things about the H&MU industry around the city. She was even able to give me recommendations for hair that I was very pleased with. Look no further for your wedding (or really any big moment) makeup artist needs! :)

nfidently beautiful, and next level pretty beyond what any of us could have possibly achieved on our own.
At 38, I wasn’t sure I could look “wedding day” glamorous, and I was amazed at how she worked miracles! The style was a perfect balance between natural clean beauty and evening glamour. Expertly chosen shades, carefully curated choices for everyone’s skin tone and texture and features, and perfect solutions for everyone’s personal preferences.
They were accommodating and efficient with the needed schedule, and finished high quality work with plenty of time to spare. Exceedingly kind and pleasant to work with. I cannot imagine a better artist to hire for your most important occasions.

ved the airbrush! It was light and It held up great even in the 93-degree weather. She was flexible with the time and location of the wedding day and quickly and beautifully did the make-up for me and my team. JoAnne is fun to talk to and truly made me feel like a bride (and a model) for my big day.

Thank you JoAnne for making me look and feel gorgeous on my wedding day ! I didn't do a makeup trial as I live in D.C. and flew into Louisville a week before my wedding, so I was ...
a bit nervous. However, trust JoAnne, because my make-up turned out exactly the way I wanted. She only uses quality make-up products and I did not have any allergic reactions that I get sometimes using new skincare products/cosmetics. If you live out of town and can't meet up to do a trial run you can trust JoAnne to create the look you want. My makeup looked amazingly natural and I felt confident and the best version of me possible.

d JoAnne Wolf. She's an expert in her profession and will make you (and all your friends) glow on your wedding day. My mother is quite particular about her makeup/look. JoAnne suggested that we do both mother or the bride and mother of the groom. After JoAnne did their makeup, they couldn't stop looking at themselves and ooh-ing and ahh-ing over their appearance. She truly made their days (and mine!)

how to make anyone look great, regardless of skin tone, facial feature or ethnicity. I'd recommend her to any bride out there. I had a very diverse group of bridesmaids & difficult mothers and everyone loved their looks. Best of all, our makeup lasted the entire day (over 14 hrs) in the blazing hot july weather and we were outside in the heat for a good part of the day. I felt so lucky to have her do my makeup. Please hire her. You will not regret your decision!
