I had the absolute pleasure of having Sam as my makeup artist for my wedding, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the big day, Sam was incredibly professional, attentive and talented.

The trial session was thorough and personalized, allowing us to perfect the look I envisioned. On the wedding day, Sam arrived promptly and brought a calming presence that eased my pre-wedding nerves. The makeup was flawless, enhancing my natural features and lasting beautifully throughout the day and night.

Not only did Sam make me look and feel stunning, but she also worked her magic on my bridal party, ensuring everyone looked cohesive and gorgeous. Her attention to detail and ability to cater to different skin tones and styles was impressive.

If you're looking for a talented, professional, and friendly makeup artist for your special day, I highly recommend Sam. Thank you for making me feel like the most beautiful bride!

11/10 Sam was AMAZING! From our initial emails, to my makeup preview, to the wedding day and everything in between, Sam was wonderful to work with. She is professional, kind, down-to-earth (the type of energy you want on your wedding day!), and truly becomes your friend. She is just the best. Not to mention, her makeup skills! So good! She is thorough to collect your preferences before the preview and works with you to make sure everything looks the way you like. She nailed my preview, making me look like an elevated version of myself without feeling like I had makeup caked on. She even sent a follow-up email with all the makeup she used and her notes from the preview - so nice to see! On the wedding day, she was nothing short of amazing - prompt, enthusiastic (seriously your hype girl!), calm and yet again, nailed my makeup as well as all my bridesmaids and moms! Our wedding was outdoors and I really felt like Sam did a great job matching my makeup to the vibe and my dress. It was natural, glowy, peachy and stayed all night! I cannot recommend her enough! If you are reading this, book Sam for your wedding makeup!!!

I was one of the lucky brides that got to have Sam do my makeup for my wedding, and I couldn’t have been happier about it! I’ve been following her on Instagram since 2020, and long before I was even engaged, I knew I wanted her to be my wedding makeup artist. It was because of her cheerful presence, and skilled makeup style, I knew she was the one I wanted to hire!

It was so wonderful to have her support me through my wedding planning journey, from the trial session, to the final look — everything was detail-oriented, professional, personalized, and very thorough. She came so prepared, it left me feeling so at ease, and it was one thing I didn’t have to worry about when wedding planning itself can be so stressful.

What I love most about her makeup style, is that she knows how to enhance natural features effortlessly without the makeup ever looking heavy. She really listens to your concerns, dislikes, and preferences for what you’re looking for.

She also helped all of my bridesmaids look and feel their best and even included personalized touch up kits for each of them. She’s very thoughtful and sweet.

If you’re ever looking for a makeup artist to glam you, she’s the best in the game. Just look at her portfolio! I can’t recommend her enough ?

The moment I contacted Sam, I immediately knew I needed to hire her for my wedding day. She is a true professional - a master at her craft, prompt in communicating, and has an impressive arsenal of makeup tools. But even more important than that, she is such a gem of a human being. Having the RIGHT energy around you on wedding day is so so crucial. Sam immediately makes you feel like the muse you never knew you could be. She hones in on what makes you, well YOU, and is there to enhance all the things that you love about yourself. She listens so intently to what you envision for your big day and is committed to nailing it! Her calming spirit on my wedding day kept me so centered once I hit the makeup chair. Once it was show time, she was my cheerleader and hype woman. Sam is just the best. She is the vibe you NEED on your big day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sam for making me feel SO beautiful on my wedding day!

Sam is so amazing! I have worked with her twice now and both times she has totally blown me away with her skills and made me feel the most beautiful version of myself. She is a master at the natural makeup look that lets your natural skin and look shine through but enhances your features in the best way. My looks also last full long days without a single thing out of place. Not only is she skilled in makeup but also hair. I have lot of hair and she always knows what’s best to do with and make it look best to enhance the makeup. The best part is everyone loved both looks and i have never gotten so many compliments in my life. Everyone was shocked at how natural and glowly I looked. Sam is so kind and so much fun to work with and I would recommend her to EVERYONE!!

I can’t say enough positive things about Sam! From our initial consultation to the big day, she was incredibly attentive and made sure to understand my vision and the personalities of my bridal party. On the wedding day, her calming presence helped ease my nerves and created a relaxed atmosphere for myself and my family.

Each member of my bridal party felt special and beautiful, thanks to her personalized approach. The makeup not only looked stunning but lasted all day, capturing the essence of each person perfectly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an addition to their bridal team.

I absolutely love Sam and can't recommend her enough! She is truly the sweetest human, and made the wedding planning process and my wedding day so calm and exciting. After my bridal preview, I told all my bridesmaids how excited I was for them to meet Sam. She did a phenomenal job on all my girls including my mom, making them feel amazing. And she made me so beautiful and bridal. My main priority was finding vendors for a low stress and happy morning, and Sam was absolutely that. I'm sad that now that my wedding day is over I won't get to hang with Sam again, but will be recommending her to all the brides I know in hopes we will meet again. Thank you Sam!!!!

Samantha is absolutely amazing , and sweet ! I had a bad experience with different makeup artist that cancelled on me 1 week before our wedding date. I was so lucky to have stumbled upon Samantha’s instagram. Trust me what you see is what you get ,trust me , you will NOT be disappointed !!

I know first hand because I didn’t even do a trial with her and the everything came out amazing !
I love how my make and hair was on point ! It was natural bridal makeup but glamorous at the same time . Samantha also did two hairstyles of me , 1 updo and 1 slick back pony with glam waves, both turned out exactly how I wanted and was super elegant.

Samantha will work with you, if you don’t know what you want , and try her best to make things work so you do not have to stress about it . For this I am talking about how my mom who’s super picky also go her makeup and hair done as well by Samantha and it came out so beautiful. Nothing was overly done and my mom is older , and her hair was shorter but Nathan was able to still style in an updo . She loved her look and her hair !

If you are trying are going back and forth on pricing , don’t hesitate on picking Samantha . Again, She is honestly super easy to work with and just an honest/ genuine soul that want to you to look good and feel good and your wedding day !!
