I can’t say enough wonderful things about Laura! She was an absolute joy to work with for my wedding hair and makeup. I had very little experience getting my hair and makeup profes...
sionally done and with that had some reservations, I expressed all of those to Laura, she took them to heart, and in turn created a comfortable and welcoming space where we could collaborate on the various looks. She knocked it out of the park during our trial session and gave me exactly what I envisioned, I didn’t think there was anything I would want to change. When we got to the wedding day she had a few small suggestions that she had thought through that ended up making such a difference - she is so thoughtful and a true artist and I’m so grateful to have had her with me the morning of my wedding day. Her team of hair and makeup artists were also incredible, my bridesmaids all had a wonderful experience and everyone was thrilled with how their looks turned out. Thank you, Laura!!!
I hired Laura for my September 2024 wedding after she arrived back in the Virginia/DC area. She was very professional, organized and kind throughout the entire wedding planning exp...

myself on the day. All of my bridesmaids and mothers of bride/groom looked so natural and amazing - she asked what each of my girls had envisioned for their makeup and I loved that. I am so happy to have had the opportunity to work with Laura. I felt so confident and beautiful on my wedding day. If you have the opportunity to work with Laura, say YES! She is the sweetest person and I am so honored to have worked with her!

my bridesmaids, a best woman, and both moms. While we were a large group, we were ready with time to spare and looked amazing. I knew I wanted to work with Laura ever since she did my makeup as a bridesmaid for a friend’s wedding, and I stand by that decision. She is incredibly talented and did amazing work bringing out our natural beauty.

o much makeup that I no longer look like me. Laura did an AMAZING job and my bridesmaids and I got so many compliments throughout the day! She did such a great job that one of my bridesmaids said she was looking at booking her for her own wedding day too. :) I couldn't be happier with Laura! I highly recommend!
Laura was wonderful! I highly recommend getting a trial before your big day. As someone who doesn’t wear much makeup, it was great to meet with her and go over what I thought I wan...
ted. It was beautiful and also very natural! I booked our engagement shoot on the same day to see how the makeup would look on camera. After being very happy with the photos, I decided to go a little bit more dramatic for the wedding day and all I can say is that it was perfect. We treated our mothers to getting their makeup done, and they looked wonderful and felt like beautiful. I can’t recommend Laura enough!
Laura was simply amazing! I went to her with a vague idea of what I wanted, and she was able to create the perfect look! And she gave great recommendations during our trial session...
for products to help prep my skin for the wedding. She also did fabulous looks on all 5 of my bridesmaids, my flower girl, and two moms! Even with all our different styles and tastes Laura was able to nail every look. Since there was so many of us, we had to start around 7 AM for a 4 PM wedding and every single look lasted all day, even the first one who got her makeup done! Hiring Laura was one of the best decisions I made while planning my wedding.
Laura is a very talented makeup artist! The makeup she did for me (the bride) was stunning, very comfortable to wear, and held up for 10+ hours. She was very patient in understandi...

On the day-of she was professional and friendly to everyone in my bridal party. I can still remember my mother almost cried when she saw herself in the mirror, she looked beautiful. Everyone was extremely happy with their makeup- we all looked beautiful.

f mine recommended Laura and I am so grateful that she did. As soon as I saw Laura’s portfolio I was blown away by the gorgeous and natural looks she was able to create on every single client! I knew I had to book her. The trial was amazing and Laura was so patient in answering our million questions about skincare and makeup. She instantly knew what would work well with my skin and the natural look I was going for. Laura expertly helped us schedule getting 11 girls ready, which was no easy task! On our wedding day, Laura arrived before the sun and did an incredible job, as did her assistant. Everyone looked absolutely stunning! The makeup lasted all day and night and looks gorgeous in our photos. Look no further, Laura is the best!!!
Laura you are awsome! And truly love what you do and thats what makes you the best.

I wish I could have her everyday doing my make up! Haha
Oh, Laura! What a sweet, loving, and passionate woman! I was so happy to connect with her and Kirsten for on-site hair and make-up services for my wedding day. Laura is so knowledg...
eable about make-up and during my trial I had so much fun just talking to her and getting to know her story and what brought her to this field. She is so talented and when I told her about my flower colors, she and I had some fun picking out lip colors for my wedding day - what a perfect choice! The lips really added such a fun pop of color to everything with the make-up and my floral bouquet. With 6 bridesmaids, MOG, MOB, and a bride to get through - Laura needed to get started pretty early in the day - but she did not mind one bit. She totally transformed everyone into beauty queens for the day and everyone was thrilled with their make-up. I’ve told both Kirsten and Laura many times that they truly made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world on my wedding day and I was so incredibly happy with everything. Laura is so professional, quickly responding to e-mails and staying organized with each client. I can’t say enough positive things! Truly the best!
