I specialize in making brides feel like the best version of themselves.
As a type 1 diabetic, I bring the sugar-free energy to every wedding morning—literally. I’ve mastered the art of updos, touch-ups, and low blood sugar snacks in one seamless flow. Need a style that holds through tears, hugs, and dance-floor twirls? I’ve got you, babe. Bonus points if you bring me a Diet Coke.
