Some brides just hit a little differently. šŸ¤āœØ

I’ve known this beautiful girl since she was THREE years old. Her aunt Mary has been my best friend for over 20 years, so I’ve had the absolute privilege of watching Jade grow from the most incredible little girl into the truly amazing woman she is today.

And amazing doesn’t even begin to cover it. She grew up, became a freaking PA!!! šŸ„¹šŸ‘šŸ¼ and married her high school sweetheart, Justin. šŸ¤

Jade has always been such a bright light. She has the kindest heart, the sweetest soul, and somehow she has only become more beautiful with every year—and her heart is every bit as beautiful as she is.

Getting to be there for her wedding day, and especially getting to be the one to do her makeup, was so incredibly special to me. Watching this little girl I’ve known almost her entire life sit in my chair as a BRIDE?! 😭 I’ll never get over it.

And can we talk about this FACE?! An absolute breathtaking, glowing GODDESS. ✨

Jade, I am so unbelievably proud of the woman you’ve become and so grateful I got to be a little part of such a beautiful day. You deserve every bit of this happiness.

Here’s to you & your high school sweetheart. šŸ¤šŸ„‚āœØ

Something about this weekend had me reflecting on the women behind the bride. šŸ¤

The moms, grandmothers, stepmoms, aunties, and mother figures who helped shape the day long before anyone walked down the aisle. The ones calming nerves, fixing veils, wiping tears, and holding everyone together.

One of the most special parts of my job is getting to spend time with these women in my chair. So many tell me they ā€œnever wear makeupā€ or just want to feel like themselves again… and watching that confidence come back is everything to me.

Mature skin is beautiful. My goal is never to cover that up, but to honor it and help them feel radiant, comfortable, and truly seen on such an important day.

After Mother’s Day, I’m feeling especially grateful for every mom and grandmother I’ve had the honor of glamming over the years. These moments mean so much to me. šŸ¤
