OUR TEAM

Alexa Rae founded Artistry By Alexa in 2008 - an on-location bridal beauty service dedicated to providing a flawless experience for her clients. After invaluable experience working as a makeup artist for Christian Dior and Estée Lauder, Alexa wanted to be able to provide her talents on-location to her clients.

Alexa believe's that Artistry By Alexa's business and customer service standards are equally important to the actual makeup applications themselves. High quality customer service, reliable / prompt communication and consistent client experience are the teams number one priority. 

A self-taught makeup artist, Alexa values collaboration and communication with her clients. "I always say that you should wear the makeup, it shouldn't wear you. I don't believe the old school mentality that makeup needs to be heavy and dark to photograph properly. We have moved forward to a more modern approach of makeup application and the quality of products available has progressed to meet us there. Besides, if you feel uncomfortable it doesn't matter how beautiful your makeup is - it will not translate properly. We ask for open and honest communication with our clients, if they don't love something - we won't be hurt, we want to know so we can adjust our approach and exceed their expectations".

Alexa believes in being the medium that brings her clients visions around style to life. “Makeup doesn't need to be intimidating. The execution of a successful makeup look has everything to do with proper product selection and application technique. We believe in working within each clients individual comfort zone to create a look that they love, and that we can be proud of.”

The most endearing compliment Artistry By Alexa receive's from their clients is how comfortable they feel in their own skin. "The most important aspect of any of our applications is having our clients feel beautiful and I have devoted myself to developing a team of artists with that as their sole mission statement. We feel proud to be a part of some of the most special moments in your life and thank-you sincerely for those opportunities.”
