How I got into weddings: I started in fine art with a background in photography and always wanted to start my own business. I got into makeup sales and realized how much I loved making women feel beautiful.
Favorite thing about weddings in the South? How much fun we have!
Favorite part of a wedding day? The moment that a bride gets butterflies in her stomach while sitting with me to do hair and makeup. You can feel the room change with the emotions; everything gets loud with excitement and then quiet with anticipation. I just love being a part of that moment!
