Beauty and Soul Artistry 

5.0

Oakdale, NY
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $250

Creativity is where I thrive and feel most like myself, and the beauty industry has given me the perfect canvas to express it. After leaving a corporate career of nearly 10 years, I followed my passion and began as a head makeup artist and bridal consultant, which opened the door to incredible opportunities. From NYFW to campaigns with e.l.f. Cosmetics, mastering lash artistry, and working on fashion shoots across NYC, I’ve gained experience that fuels my artistry every day. Since 2020, I’ve proudly built and run my own beauty company, helping clients feel confident, radiant, and unstoppable.

I can't recommend Alexa enough! She was my makeup artist for my wedding, and her talent truly made my day unforgettable. Not only does she excel in makeup artistry, but she also captures beautiful moments as a photographer for several special occasions in my life. Her versatility as a jack of all trades is impressive. What stands out the most is her professionalism. Alexa is incredibly skilled at her craft, but it's her warm and welcoming demeanor that makes the experience so enjoyable. She goes above and beyond to ensure you feel comfortable and beautiful, whether it's applying makeup or snapping stunning photos. Her kindness shines through in everything she does, making every session feel personal and special. If you're looking for someone who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about her clients, Alexa is the one to go to!

We got married 1/5/25 but had been working with Miriam for probably a year and a half before our big day. She was always so personable with us a treated us like family. Words cannot describe the love and care we felt from Jake, our maître D and Samantha, our bridal attendant, on our wedding day. We were cared for tediously and effortlessly. We felt like at ease, happy and totally relaxed. I needed Samantha and didn’t even know it, I am forever indebted to her - she could not have been more attentive and wonderful. Comforting me, assuring me, getting me where I need to be and when. So friendly, kind and amazing. Thank god for Jake. He is so special and we’re so lucky we got him as our maître D. He deems himself as a “yes man” and he is not lying. Anything you could have ever wanted from him, he’d deliver. We wanted for nothing, had wonderful direction from him all night and he took care of EVERYTHING!  The night was flawless, amazing, perfect and all we could have ever hoped for. The staff at Bourne is unmatched, we made the right choice with this venue. Guests will be in awe of the venue and talk about the food for years to come. I wish I could do it all again. Thank you Bourne mansion & staff for the best night of our lives! I don’t have all my pics back yet!

I am a Filipino and so is my bridal party. I really needed someone who understood an Asian face. I also needed someone who could listen to me, my needs and those of my party to help us all look and feel our best. Rie delivered and more! From planning the day and on our trial, Rie was very kind, open to suggestions and creative when it came to my vision. She was patient to try out the different hair dos I wanted to sample. On the day, she amped up her talent and made me look even more beautiful than when she met me for a trial. Even my FIL thought so! You know it’s real when men notice! Haha. She also took care of my mother, who is hard to please, but was able to say good things about her hair and make up that same day too. Overall what a beautiful experience. I kind of want to get married again just to be able to redo the whole beautification and process! And of course that is only possible with Rie. Many thanks Rie!!! Pics from Nathalie Garcia

It was an absolute treat to work alongside Marybeth during our most recent collaboration. Her beautiful photography is just the tip of the iceberg. Marybeth is professional, imaginative, true to her word, and passionate about her work. Our photoshoot took place on a rather dreary, cloudy, summer day. Yet, Marybeth was able to transform the ambiance into a magical, thrilling, and romantic scene with her photography. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for photos to treasure for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing a wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions you'll make during the planning process and I can confidently say, choosing Swan Lake Caterers was the best decision we made. I’m so excited to write this review so other couples can have a similarly incredible experience! I looked everywhere around the tri-state area from Jersey, to Connecticut, all the boroughs (including Staten Island!!) to all over Long Island. Swan Lake Caterers was actually the first venue I visited, and I fell in love instantly. But, like many brides, I was indecisive. I kept searching, trying to be sure… and after every other tour, I kept coming back to Swan Lake in my heart, I had a feeling it was the one! And it absolutely was. The entire day was seamless, magical, and full of joy. One of the most touching things someone said to me was from my sister. She told me, “So many brides can’t enjoy their wedding day because there’s so much going on but we could see in your face how carefree and happy you were. You were truly having fun” This was in large part due to Swan Lake Caterers allowing me to focus on my husband, family and friends. They gave us peace of mind, beautiful surroundings, and the freedom to be fully present in every moment. The food was out of this world, our guests are still talking about it! Sophia and Charlie really catered to what we wanted and to our guests’ dietary needs! Including three of our vegan family members. The venue itself was picture perfect. It was elegant, romantic, and timeless! One of my guests said it looked like it was out of a Disney movie. Elena, our maitre-d worked with me in the months leading up to the wedding to make sure the decor and vibe was everything we wanted. She knocked it out of the park! Even though it was a little chilly, and started to drizzle, Sophia was in contact with us in the week leading up to it, to make sure everyone was comfortable temperature wise. They were so unimaginably attentive to us! The day of, Elena made sure that even without a rehearsal everything went off without a hitch. Speaking of attentiveness, Jill, my bridal attendant, was simply amazing. She made sure we had drinks in our hand, food on our plates, helped me fix the train on my dress a million and one times. I’m pretty sure they helped one of my guests fix a ripped dress? Seriously. People said it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to! If you're thinking about getting married here, stop thinking and just say YES. I can’t express how incredibly grateful I am to Swan Lake Caterers and would love it for every other couple (and their guests) to have a similar experience!

SDR Weddings & Events was a LIFESAVER for my wedding day!! I had a backyard wedding and I was worried that my guests would still have an amazing time. Hiring them was the best decision I made because not only was the dance floor (our deck, lol) full of all my guests having an amazing time, but the photos are AWESOME and all of my guests raved about how much fun they had. People literally said it was the best wedding they ever went to. I couldn't be happier. They were so amazing in the process of planning too, giving me advice on the best times to do certain formalities at the reception. Being a wedding photographer myself, I see a lot of DJs, but no one compares to these guys in my opinion. I recommend them to all of my clients. I can't wait to have a vow renewal so I have the opportunity to hire them again!!

When working on wedding planning, we knew right away that we wanted to use nectar& bloom for our florals. We wanted something fun, unique, and just not what you always see at most weddings in our area. Lisa and Ann Marie were amazing in their communication and breakdowns of what could work with our budget and venue space, and were very adaptable and helpful as changes came along the way! We had high expectations coming into our wedding day, but they were absolutely blown out of the park once we saw everything come to life! From my bridal bouquet to the AMAZING floral arch and centerpieces, we were absolutely thrilled with how bright, colorful, fun, and unique our florals were. Our guests are still raving about the flowers that we had, and I even sent out our flowers to be preserved so that I have this amazing piece of our day treasured forever. I would highly recommend using the n&b team for your wedding day; whether you are looking for something more traditional or going for something more unique and personalized, you are in great hands with Lisa and Ann Marie designing your dream day!!

We started to follow SLK Visuals works on Instagram over a year ago, we were stunned by the photos and clips that he posted on his page. We decided to hire him right away.

From the get go, Shawn scheduled appointments to introduce himself and who would be working with him; he showed us his work; he is very knowledgeable about his craft.

This experience was actually really wonderful and intimate, and I actually felt closer and more connected to my hubby than before. And when it comes to the wedding pictures, Shawn and the videographer were punctual and ready day of the wedding; all the photos come out amazingly beautiful, my video is clear and focused. Our wedding was this last October and 2 days later he sent us a teaser and by the end of November we had received the complete gallery. And also, I would like to mention that SLK Visuals is very affordable, compared to other vendors; Shawn works with your budget and gives you what you ask for.

Ashley Film Studios did an outstanding job capturing our special day. From start to finish, their communication was fun, friendly, creative, and incredibly supportive. The quality of their work is amazing—both professional and heartwarming. We even showed our dance teacher and he was in tears. They made my husband and me feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and the final video is a beautiful keepsake that we'll cherish forever. Watching it brought us to tears; it perfectly captures the essence of our day. We wholeheartedly recommend Ashley Film Studios to any couple looking for a videographer who will go above and beyond to make your wedding truly unforgettable. Just book them now!

I am typically a Type B person in my life, but when it came to our wedding day, I wanted everything to be exactly how I wanted it. This included researching quite literally hundreds of photographers. As a super DIY wedding, I wanted to be able to look back on our photos and be able to relive it without it feeling overly filtered or untrue to how it was in real life. When we came across Fireside Sparrow, not only did the style of photography stand out to us as authentic, but you could just feel that Stephanie was authentic as well. She and Steve fit our vibe perfectly leading up to and the day of our wedding. Her attention to detail and ability to be professional but also feel like your number one fan made our wedding day run so smoothly. They’re now a part of our story forever. I highly recommend Fireside Sparrow Photography!!!
