Vicky Smith Artistry

Dec 2017

Vicky went out of her way to accommodate me (the bride) and the mother of the groom for the small wedding we planned in under a week. I wanted my hair and makeup to look special, but still natural and "myself". She absolutely mastered that look (with no trial ahead of time might I add)! My makeup was a beautiful subtle smokey eye just like I wanted but horribly attempted to communicate with about 5 "something like this, but not this" pictures. The makeup she used was of the highest quality- brands I could never justify buying for myself- and yet the prices were beyond reasonable. She curled my hair and left it down just like I asked for, but I was convinced it wouldn't last past the ceremony. Somehow my stick straight hair maintained the most gorgeous, flowing curls all night despite being out in the snowstorm for over an hour. My husband, who swore he hates liquid foundation and curls on me because they always "look fake", couldn't shut up about how beautiful I was. I know it was our wedding day but my mom, who hates makeup, also agreed. What more can a girl ask for? Oh, that's right, a calm, quiet, gorgeous studio overlooking downtown Keene to provide some much needed respite on an otherwise overwhelmingly hectic morning.

Vicky made me into my dream bride! I felt like a princess, not even lying, after she was done with me. Vicky was recommended to me by a friend, so I was slightly skeptical, but after my trials, I did not have a doubt in my mind that she would make me into the most beautiful bride. I brought her photos of what I wanted and she was great about telling me what was possible and what was just an optical illusion for a fashion shoot. I am also not seasoned in makeup, so she took my terrible description of what I thought I wanted and turned it into a masterpiece! On the day of my wedding, she made the bridal suite so fun! It was like having another bridesmaid in the room. We all had so much fun jamming out to 90s tunes. She was really accommodating when I wanted things tweaked slightly and gave me honest feedback on everything. I highly recommend Vicky and her team if you want to look absolutely stunning on your wedding day!
