I’m so thankful for how beautiful my makeup came out for my engagement photos! Jo did such an amazing job, and I couldn’t have been happier with the final look. She was so friendly, welcoming, and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience even better. I truly appreciate her talent and kindness and would absolutely recommend her to anyone! I can’t wait for her to be a part of our wedding next year!!

Aww Kim. You have made my heart so happy. Thank you for trusting me with your engagement photo session makeup. I can’t wait to see the professional photos to brag about.
I can’t say enough great things about Joanne. She’s a total gem in this industry. If you’re looking for a makeup artist that enhances your natural beauty and then some, Jo is your girl on wedding day.

Thank you so much for these kind words. I hope to see you again and touch your beautiful face. Cheers Jo.
Joanne made me feel beautiful, both inside and out. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and confident for the start of our wedding weekend. I cannot recommend Joanne enough. I am already looking forward to the next event that will give me an excuse to book her again for makeup services.
Joanne was the make up artist for my sister’s wedding. She was kind, professional and her work was amazing! Not only did our glam come out great (and it lasted all night long!) but she offered advice/tips on techniques and products. Highly recommend!!

Joanne is absolutely incredible! Her warm, comforting presence and amazing talent are truly unmatched. She made everyone in my wedding party feel like they were wrapped in a warm hug that ended with a flawless, elevated makeup look that brought out each person’s natural beauty.
When she did my wedding makeup, she reminded me to breathe and even patted my back to calm my nerves — such a small gesture that meant so much in the moment. She went above and beyond, checking on everyone throughout the day, touching up makeup, and making us all feel like stars.
Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care shine through in everything she does. Joanne doesn’t just enhance your external beauty — she brings out your inner glow, too. I’m so grateful for her and can’t wait to book with her again for future milestones. Highly recommend!

I can’t tell you how much I loved these warm words. It is the my whole reason for choosing bridal as my life’s career.
I got to be with Molly for all of her bridal events leading up to the wedding so I felt like family on the wedding day. ♥️♥️
I cannot recommend Joanne highly enough. She was absolutely incredible leading up to the wedding and during the wedding. She was easy to work with, responsive, and genuinely fun to talk to. She was a blast to hang out with the day of the wedding.
My mother had a lot of stress about the makeup experience and Joanne made her feel not only comfortable but beautiful. Every one of my bridesmaids looked stunning. I have a lot of insecurities in regards to my looks and she made me feel stunning the entire night of the wedding. We were obsessed with her. Would recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful and refined makeup with kindness.

Awwww♥️ you are making me feel so loved. Can’t wait til you move here! Thanks so much.
Joy was an absolute dream to work with! She is upbeat, kind, and has years of experience that instantly put me at ease. She made the entire process feel effortless and truly JOYful. From the very beginning, she understood exactly the look I wanted and delivered 100%.
On my wedding day, I felt radiant, natural, and confident—and that feeling lasted all the way into the wee hours of the night! My makeup stayed flawless through happy tears and hours of dancing. I don’t know what kind of wizardry she used, but I was glowing all day. ✨
Joy also made my girls feel gorgeous, and they couldn’t stop raving about their makeup. Her professionalism, talent, and warm presence were such a gift on my wedding day. Thank you, Joy, from the bottom of my heart—you helped make the day absolutely perfect! 💕
Jo is my fairy godmother! She made me look and feel SO beautiful. A big part of your wedding day is the vibes and energy everyone you interact with brings, and Jo really brought the happiest, most fun attitude. She makes you feel cared for and loved. Could not recommend Jo enough!!!

I am definitely your fairy godmother. Please stay in touch. I would love to see how your love journey unfolds.
Joanne is a happy, positive, talented and lively make up artist! She was accommodating to us and was flexible in her technique, with some people wanting airbrush make up and some wanting regular. She also was willing and open to work with us to ensure that we were happy with the final product, even giving us full tubes of lipstick and lip gloss to keep! Our make up lasted the entire night and looked great!! Thank you!
