"Those who have heard me discuss my wedding in even the smallest detail have heard me talk about Ellen. Ellen was the kindest, calmest, most encouraging and lovely presence throughout my entire bridal season. From emailing back and forth about details to welcoming me in for a trial to calming my nerves and helping me feel beautiful in her chair, I could not have asked for a better wedding day MUA who quickly became a friend. Ellen's presence is what stands out to me - she is an expert at her craft but prioritizes what makes each bride feel beautiful on their big day. She is calm, collected, and meets every bride with exactly what they are looking for on their wedding day. Something that was so helpful for me is just how easy and seamless communicating with Ellen in the makeup chair was, even for someone like myself who typically doesn't have the nerve to offer feedback (i.e. sending back a meal that came incorrectly, asking a nail tech to shape a nail differently, etc.). Even after having and chatting about my trial, Ellen gave me a chance in the chair that day to change my mind on anything or make any adjustments, and I was comfortable doing so, which is a miracle for me! I have never felt more beautiful in my life than I did on my wedding day and I truly think that in addition to the stunning makeup itself, that feeling stands out in my photos, which is such a gift. The makeup lasted throughout the entire night, including a ceremony in direct sunlight! She was kind enough to offer a touch up kit with some powder and other items, but I never even felt the need to reach for it! While I loved all of my vendors, Ellen stands out to me for the way she treated me, the way she made me feel, and the impact she had on my day! She is the best and I cannot (and have not) shut up about how much I loved working with her!!!"
