On the day, we arrive prepared with artistry and expertise, letting the morning unfold effortlessly. Every look is created to feel timeless in photographs, yet as natural as it is refined.

“Meghan was an actual blessing on our wedding. We got married in Maine and I had previously found someone more local to do my hair. To say that initial test with the other person was disappointing would be a gross understatement. I have very thin hair and as such bought extensions. The other person said she couldn't use all of them, and the ones she did use pulled on my hair and scalp in such a painful way that I couldn't wear them for more than an hour or so and the style looked thin and fried. Enter Meghan. Given the exact same tools and accessories she worked actual magic. She gave me wedding hair better than I ever could've imagined or dreamed of. I asked for wild and witchy and romantic and she delivered tenfold. It was so comfortable and long-lasting and I got nothing but compliments on it and she did such a good job integrating the extensions that no one believed it wasn't my real hair. She gave recommendations for which extensions to get and what products to use to prep my hair and was all around amazing. She even helped my groom with his hair last minute on the day of and he looked fabulous too. Meghan was such a joy to be around and was so sweet and kind and helpful and talented that I wish I could get married again just to use her. She's a gem and I will recommend her to anyone who asks and everyone who doesn't ask.”

“From our first phone call/interview, I KNEW I had to book with Sara. Her dedication to make brides not only look beautiful but *FEEL* like themselves on their wedding day meant everything to me. I am "light"/natural make up person, so it was important that I still felt like myself during my wedding day. She was absolutely incredible to work with. Very responsive to emails, feedback, questions and more. As a client, watching her be so passionate about her work was/is inspiring. She made the morning of my wedding so fun, stress-free and set the tone for the day (in the best way possible). My entire wedding party had nothing but wonderful things to say about Sara and how they looked/felt after getting their makeup done. As a bride, Sara gave me the space to criticize what I liked, what I didn't like and/or what I wanted to emphasize more. I cried during our trial (tears of joy) and cried the day of my wedding (I'm a soft ball). The day of my wedding, I told Sara what details I wanted to change and she was SO supportive of my decision(s) - which is a big deal because everyone wants to give their thoughts/opinions and Sara only cared about what *I* wanted. Lastly, I cried on/off during my wedding day (so many happy tears), it rained/sprinkled during our first look photos and the rest of the night, I sweated on the dance floor and my make up looked FLAWLESS throughout the entire night.

She truly listened to what I wanted and made sure every detail was perfect. On the big day, she arrived on time, worked efficiently, and created flawless looks for me and my bridal party. Everyone felt so confident and beautiful thanks to her skillful work. Hilary has a true gift for enhancing natural beauty while making sure you feel like the best version of yourself. Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she also has such a calm and positive energy, which was exactly what I needed on a busy and emotional morning.
