MEET THE QUEEN OF
BRIDAL HAIR & MAKEUP
Katie has over 20 years of industry experience. She has worked in LA, NYC, and is now rooted in coastal New England. Her passion for beauty has been with her since she was young, for as long as she can remember she has wanted to make people look and feel their best. Her passion for weddings was sparked when she began doing bridal looks in 2011 and it quickly became an obsession, saying:
“The energy is always so contagious! When i am working a wedding, I leave feeling so elevated and happy. It’s such a beautiful day! I get to make people look and feel amazing, on one of the best day of their lives! What’s better than that?!”
While Katie has a soft spot for a full glam look, she and her team have mastered the art of the, "you, but enhanced" vibe, for your wedding day.
Katie is available exclusively to the bride, completing their whole look with hair and makeup.

I love the beach and snuggling my kitty, Loki. My favorite thing about weddings is the happiness/energy in the room getting ready.
