This young lady is simply amazing.
Her prices are reasonable and she even travels the distance.
She transformed my look and made me feel like even more of a QUEEN on my wedding day.

Book her she's AMAZING!! I have seen Vanessa's work for many years, but never had a reason to use her services. After getting engaged I decided to book her for my wedding. A few days prior to my engagement shoot I realized due to my schedule I wouldn't be able to do my own make up and be on time, so one of my bridesmaids called Vanessa for me and despite the last minute request she was able to fit me in and my fiancé and mom LOVED my make up. I was so pleased and can't wait until my wedding.

I had the pleasure of working with Vanessa for a shoot, and was BLOWN AWAY by her professionalism, creativity, skill level, attention to detail and promptness. I have been a photographer for 5 years, working with weddings, family portraits and womens portraiture, and I have never seen a makeup artist as prepared, skilled and professional as Vanessa. I will recommend her to all future brides and I plan on hiring only her for future events. When choosing a makeup artist, especially for events it is crucial that you find an artist that knows how makeup translates in camera and under professional lighting. Vanessa is also an attentive listener and is able give a very specific look or style from "no makeup" makeup looks to a full face glam. I cant say enough great things about Vanessa and her work!!
