For LGBTQ+ couples

This is an LGBTQ+-owned business. Little is published about this team beyond its services and its area, so the clearest facts are those. On-location work does mean you can get ready somewhere familiar, which many couples appreciate.

What to expect from on-location beauty

A mobile team brings the chair to you, whether that is a hotel suite, a family home or the venue itself. That removes travel on a busy morning. Ask about the setup they need: good natural light, a power outlet and a clear surface near a mirror are the usual requests.

Airbrush makeup is applied as a fine mist, and many people choose it for a smooth finish that lasts through a long day with photos. Ask to see it at a trial, and check how it photographs in your lighting.

Planning the morning

Work out the order of who is styled and when. Allow more time for hair than you expect, especially for updos and for anyone with long or thick hair. Agree start times with your photographer, who will want to capture some of the preparation. Arrange for food and drinks for the party.

Bring reference images and an outfit photo to your consultation, and tell the team about any skin sensitivities.

Location and travel

The team is based in Holden and travels across New England. Confirm any travel arrangements for venues farther from home.

Questions to ask

Is a trial offered? How many people can be styled in a morning? What is the plan for touch-ups during the day?
