As a wedding photographer, I understand how essential makeup and hairstyle are, not just for the photos but for how you’ll feel throughout your special day. Whether your wedding is a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, finding the right makeup artist in Venice is a key decision.
Here I'd spotlight two key aspects to consider and one to ignore: there is a lot of difficulty in making the choice for somebody who will take care of your make-up while being far away and arranging your destination wedding or elopement in Italy.
Professional quality: try to gauge an idea of the service offered by looking at bridal pictures published on the professional's website or social media profiles. If you can visit Venice beforehand, I recommend booking a trial session with your preferred artist. You could even use it as a fun excuse for an engagement photo shoot in Venice or a romantic evening.
Communication: Your wedding day will be emotional and high-pressure. It’s important that the makeup session feels more like a moment of relaxation than stress. A great artist knows how to make you feel at ease, boosting your confidence as you prepare for your big day. If you can’t meet in person beforehand, recommendations from your photographer or wedding planner can be invaluable.
The same advice applies to choosing a hairstylist. Keep in mind that Venice’s humid weather can affect how long your hairstyle holds, so make sure to discuss durability with your stylist. While the emotional connection may be slightly less critical than with makeup, comfort and communication remain important.
I hope these insights help you choose the perfect artist for your Venice wedding or elopement. As a photographer, I witness the transformation brides go through during hair and makeup every time, and I’m excited to see how it adds to your special day. Although I am not typically involved in choosing makeup artists or hairstylists, I’ve written this guide to help you make a confident decision.
For people that will then choose my services I'll be twice as happy once since I shared information that may be useful once because with these premises even my professional images will improve thanks to an happy bride with the best make up and hairstyle to stay with her during the whole day.
Some makeup artists and some hair stylists will be ready to offer their services also for a sunrise photo-shoot in Venice but usually it is easier to arrange for a day or sunset session.
I would like to let you know that if you are interested in receiving the contacts of some professionals I would like to work with, or, even better, if you are interested in choosing me as your photographer, please feel free to reach out to me directly from this page or even more easily with a whatsapp message.
