Wedding Makeup

Where do I begin? When I first did my trial with Steph I wasn’t expecting my makeup to turn out like it did. I was blown away! Fast forward to my wedding day and it was even better than the trial. The morning of wedding days can be stressful and Steph made everything so seamless and easy. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed, even when we added more people than originally scheduled: Once my makeup was done I felt absolutely gorgeous, she went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfected for my special day. I would recommend her 1,000 times over. She not only was my makeup artist but became such a good friend throughout the process. I promise you you won’t go wrong when you book Steph. ❤️

Steph is a makeup god!!

Stephanie was amazing! She arrived on time and ready to work, set up quickly and followed her schedule to a tee. She created a glamorous beauty plan to coordinate with our dresses and overall wedding feel. She was completely invested from our very first conversation and followed up with me throughout the planning process, offering support along the way. On my wedding day Steph was very detailed, professional and super sweet! My girls and I felt beautiful and confident, even after hours on the dance floor! Steph, thank you so much for helping me feel like a star!

Where lol to begin with Stephanie….not only is she the best makeup artist but truly a delight to have around all morning getting ready. She is so incredibly organized and the most responsive person when we were going back and forth leading up to the wedding. Day of she went above and beyond. She made all of us girls feel so comfortable and made us look absolutely stunning. I could not say enough great things about Stephanie and how talented she is. I could not recommend her enough and am so incredibly thankful for her

Best in the Business

If you have the privilege of getting Stephanie as your wedding makeup artist, DO IT! You will never regret it! Stephanie is one of the sweetest, most genuine, down to earth humans I’ve ever met. She made me feel like a literal queen on my wedding day and made my wedding makeup dreams come true! She went above and beyond with making sure my little worries were perfect throughout the whole makeup process and even kept coming to touch me up and check on me once I moved on to hair! Not to mention she doesn’t treat you like a client but more like a friend, and I am so thankful I found her! Will be using her for all of my big events from here on out!

Stephanie is Amazing !!

Stephanie was extremely professional from the start. She answers so quickly to emails & was a pleasure to speak with. She completed my bridal makeup, 6 bridesmaids, and my mom all ahead of schedule. Everyone LOVED their makeup. I wanted to feel like myself (except better lol) and Stephanie perfected the look. I would 1000% recommend her and she has to be the best makeup artist in Florida!

Makeup Lesson

From one makeup artist to another- Steph’s work is incredible! I always want to continue my education as an artist & when I saw she had one on one lessons I booked right away. She is professional, organized, knowledgeable, and responsive. With this lesson, I learned new tricks and tips, received product recommendations, & she applied the makeup for me- WOW! The look was gorgeous. Can’t wait to book her for my next special occasion!!

Wedding Day Glam

Stephanie did such an amazing job on my bridesmaids, mom, mother in law, and my makeup on my wedding day. We all loved our makeup and felt super beautiful as well. She is super talented and listens to what you want and knows what products to use for your skin type. Our makeup lasted all night long. Everyone kept complimenting how great our makeup looked that evening. The day I did my trial I got so many compliments as well. She is so sweet and was always super fast at replying to any questions I had. I always felt like I was talking to a friend I had known for years! Book her for your wedding day! You won’t regret it.

Worth every penny

As a wedding photographer my most asked question is for make up artist recommendations. I have referred many clients to Stephanie for their makeup needs, and I have to say, she's the best around! Stephanie is incredibly talented and knows exactly how to achieve each client's preferred look.

The makeup she applies is simply stunning - it's beautiful, long-lasting, and photographs beautifully. My clients have raved about how amazing they look and how confident they feel after working with Stephanie.

Not only is Stephanie skilled in applying makeup, but she's also a pleasure to work with. She's professional, punctual, and always makes all my clients look incredible.

I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone in need of a talented and reliable makeup artist. She's a true artist who knows how to make her clients feel and look their best. Thank you, Stephanie , for being the best around and doing such an incredible job!
