“Laurie was an absolute dream to work with for my elopement in the Poconos! She created the most beautiful, natural bridal hair and makeup that made me feel confident, radiant, and truly myself. From the very start, her communication and professionalism were phenomenal — she was warm, genuine, and instantly put me at ease.
Laurie went above and beyond, traveling to my Airbnb and taking the time to ensure every need was met. Even without having a trial beforehand, she exceeded every expectation, thoughtfully considering my requests while adding her own unique touch. It can be nerve-wracking to go into a bridal look without a trial, but I gave her my full trust — and she created a breathtaking, glowy look that made me feel like a goddess. I also gave her the freedom to create a vision based on her experience and creative instincts, and she delivered something more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.
She thoughtfully incorporated dried florals into my hairstyle for a romantic, one-of-a-kind touch and even recommended a local florist who prepared a custom assortment, which she conveniently brought with her from her studio. Laurie also went out of her way to help my husband with his hair using her own products that he had accidentally left behind at home — a small gesture that meant so much, making him look and feel even more handsome.
Since we eloped just the two of us in an intimate elopement ceremony, I didn’t have the experience of a bridal party. Laurie instantly made me feel like I had someone to connect with through warm conversation and laughter while getting ready on my special day.
Her talent, creativity, and calming energy made the morning so enjoyable and completely stress-free. She was personable, kind, and such a joy to be around. My husband was moved to tears of joy when he saw me — he couldn’t stop smiling at how stunning the final result was. He still looks back at the getting-ready photos she kindly captured for us before our photographer arrived, captivated in remembrance of the day. We both had an incredible experience with Laurie and are endlessly grateful for her artistry and kindness.
Laurie was truly exceptional — a genuine professional with an incredible eye for detail and beauty. I can’t recommend her enough to any bride looking for someone who will make you feel both stunning and completely at ease on your special day.”
