Anna was AMAZING! She’s so friendly and bubbly. She did everyone’s make up in the style they felt most comfortable and all of my bridal party looked gorgeous! I had SO MANY compliments on my make up all night long. I couldn’t have asked for a better MUA. Highly recommend!

Anna was the best. Flexible with my trial date and my schedule. Understood what I wanted to look like, really made it happen. Set realistic expectations and timelines for the wedding party. She was also in my corner on the day of the wedding. Easy to chat with, fun energy, a truly lovely gal. TO TOP IT OFF - the make up was AMAZING for myself and my wedding party. The color matching was top tier and everyone looked beautiful (and still like themselves).

ing attention to every little detail to make sure everything was perfect. She went above and beyond by providing me with a touch-up kit to keep me looking fresh throughout the day, which was such a thoughtful touch. She also took the time to teach me exactly how to put my veil in and out without ruining my hairstyle, making the transition between the ceremony and reception so easy. She even carefully placed all of my hair pieces, making sure they were secure and looked beautiful. Her talent, professionalism, and attention to detail truly made me feel like the best version of myself on my wedding day. I received so many compliments, and my hair and makeup lasted beautifully all day and night. Even the curls lasted for days, which my hair has never even held a curl before. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about their clients and goes the extra mile, I wholeheartedly recommend her. Thank you for helping make my wedding day so special!

eptive to all my notes during the trial, changed things and wasn’t done until I felt we got the look. She made me look and feel so beautiful, while still looking like myself. I don’t wear makeup everyday so i was nervous for how I would look - but it was gorgeous. I was getting compliments till the end of the night. She was also extremely prepared and brought all her own equipment including chair, lighting and table. She was so helpful and accommodating for elderly people in my party getting makeup done and listened and executed everyone’s wishes. I would book her immediately!

My wife and I had the privilege of having Anna do our makeup for our LGBTQ+ wedding! I cannot recommend Anna enough. Not only did she do a beautiful job with our bridal makeup but ...

she was incredibly easy to talk to throughout the whole process. Right after she finished my makeup I learned that my mom couldn't make it to help me get ready, which naturally sent me into tears in the bathroom. Hearing me cry as she packed up, she waited to leave until I was finished. She tuned up my makeup perfectly (there wasn't much tuning up to do; despite my tears, the makeup had actually held beautifully) and made me feel confident as I left for the ceremony. Book her RIGHT NOW!

cts—she took the time to explain the why behind every step, so I could truly understand how to create a look that lasts, photographs beautifully, and feels like me. Her professionalism, kindness, and deep knowledge of makeup made this such a special experience. She empowered me with tips, techniques, and personalized guidance that I’ll carry with me. I can’t recommend her enough—she’s a true gem in the bridal world!

I was so fortunate to have Anna as my make-up artist for my wedding. Anna set up a pre-wedding trial run which was so fun and helpful when talking through how my make up would look...

on my wedding day. Anna gave such good advice when selecting high quality products and was flexible when I changed up the color of my eyeshadow the day of my wedding. Anna did all of my bridesmaids makeups too and everyone was super satisfied. Anna did touch ups right before pictures (it was a hot summer day) which was very helpful. I would highly recommend Anna, she is a very talented and professional make-up artist.
