I’m Donna Rae, an award-winning luxury bridal makeup artist with over 30 years of experience, and for nearly 27 years,
a business owner who has built my career on integrity, care,
and genuine connection. I specialize in elevated, on-location bridal hair and makeup throughout Washington State,
the Pacific Northwest, and destination weddings.
I’ve been honored by The Knot and WeddingWire for eight years in a row, recognized for exceptional service, professionalism, responsiveness, and reliability. My background spans bridal, editorial, film, and television, including 28 years as a Regional Artist for Christian Dior, experience that allows me to create timeless beauty that looks flawless in person and in photographs.
But what matters most to me is you. I believe all brides are beautiful, your wedding day deserves more than everyday makeup.
My role is to listen, guide, and create a calm, supportive experience where you feel confident, cared for,
and completely yourself.
I continually train, maintain a meticulously clean and curated kit, and partner only with artists I trust, so you can relax knowing every detail is handled.
Outside of my work, I’m inspired by connection, creativity, and giving back. I love travel, nature, hiking, hot yoga, long walks on the beach, and chasing sunsets and moments that ground me and shape the way I approach beauty with intention and heart.
Brides choose me not just for my experience, but for my presence. On your wedding day, I’m there as a steady, trusted professional, so you can be fully present, feel beautiful, and truly enjoy every moment.
