Having Karen as my artist was one of the best decisions I made! She was a dream to work with throughout the whole process. I booked her for my whole wedding party and my mother. She had another artist to help with the group and she was amazing as well! You can feel how much Karen cares about making her clients not only look beautiful on such a special day, but also feel beautiful. I’ve always wanted to do Hollywood waves with the soft glam look and Karen brought my entire vision to life. I couldn’t be thankful for her help on such an important day!

I was a nervous wreck on my wedding day. Julie chatted with me and made me feel comfortable. She did the make-up for 5 people in my wedding party, in addition to myself, all in one day! I loved my hair and make-up, and she walked me through it every step of the way, really listening to my wants. She even helped with covering up an uneven tan on my back. I still use the make-up she gave me from that day even one year later. Thank you Julie!

Leah has done my makeup several times now and from someone who doesn’t often wear makeup, I usually just give her a vague idea of what I want and let her take the reins. She is always attentive and asks me questions along the way to make sure I’m getting what I want. My favorite look so far was on my wedding day! It felt natural for my face/style and held up all day. My bridesmaids all loved their makeup too! I always recommend her to any friends needing their makeup done!

My makeup held all day and night . Her communication was fabulous and even made last minute adjustments that I wanted. She does do a trial before hand, which really put my mind at ease since again I’m not a big makeup wearer and was totally unsure what I wanted.

Beauty stems from the inside and that’s where we start with our babes. We want our couples to feel like an elevated version of themselves. We are all about complimenting the mood and aesthetic of your wedding weekend while coming up with a custom look that brings it all together. With the mama wolf, Ash having over a decade of editorial and fashion experience, our work is more fashion-forward than “bridal”. Highlighting natural beauty above all. Because we work so closely with our photographers, we know how to help you feel photo ready while still feeling “approachable”. We are stoked to be considered for your beauty needs!

I hired Love Wolves Co for my hair and make up and had the best experience with them! Karen was my stylist and she did such an amazing job both for my engagement shoot and wedding day! As someone who never wears more than some mascara, she really allowed me to still feel natural and like myself while highlighting my features and ensuring my make up would photograph well. In fact, she did such a great job with make up for me and my bridesmaids that my step-mom (who typically hates getting her make up done) added that service day of! Knowing that my fine hair doesn’t hold well, I had Karen stay for a touch up right before my ceremony and couldn’t recommend that enough! Everyone loved working with her!
