We specialize in soft, glowing skin, natural yet intentional hairstyles, and looks that feel more fashion editorial than traditional bridal. Alongside beauty services, we offer a trusted creative circle of photographers, florists, and planners to ensure a seamless and artfully curated wedding experience. Elena’s work has been trusted by remarkable women like Lisa Andersen, Brooke Shields, and Samantha Barry.

Hello! My name is Cathy also known as Cat! I am an on-site professional freelance hair and makeup artist based here in Anchorage, Alaska. I have always been passionate about art and one of the most exquisite expressions of art is makeup. I love using makeup to enhance one’s natural beauty and highlight individuality. I specialize in bridal and glam because they are my favorite but natural is also my jam. I am always looking to further develop my skills and give you the best experience you need for your glamour goals!

I have been a bridal makeup specialist working as a professional all over the PNW since 2010. Specializing in bridal make up for over 10 years, I know first hand how important it is that bridal makeup is long lasting but also fresh, glowy, HD ready and flattering to each individual. I have trained for many brands over the years and use only the most premium products in my kit. I am used to the hustle and bustle of a wedding morning and know how important timing and coordination can be, therefore I make sure the mood is calm and fun!

I am a professional Freelance Make-up Artist specializing in Beauty, Bridal, Fitness Competition, Fantasy, Photoshoots and Runway makeup. I got my start working for MAC, and continued a freelancing career after it was closed here in Anchorage.
