Working with Emilie was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. She did both my makeup and our wedding videography, and having one person understand the full visual feeling I wanted made everything feel so cohesive and easy.
My makeup looked beautiful in person and on camera, but I still felt completely like myself. Emilie created such a calm, comfortable atmosphere while I was getting ready, which was exactly what I needed that morning.
I’m also so happy we chose her for our wedding films. We received social media videos that let us quickly relive and share our favorite moments, along with a full-length documentary that captured so much more of the day. The documentary included the meaningful little moments, reactions, speeches, and memories that would have otherwise passed by in a blur. It truly feels like we can step back into our wedding day whenever we watch it.
Emilie brought so much care and creativity to both services, and it was incredibly convenient to book our makeup and wedding films together. I would absolutely recommend Soft Focus Weddings to anyone who wants to feel beautiful, comfortable, and genuinely seen on their wedding day.
Emilie did my makeup for my wedding, and I could not have been happier with how it turned out. I wanted soft glam that felt elevated and special without looking too heavy, and she completely understood the vision. My skin looked flawless, my eyes were beautifully defined, and the entire look photographed so well.
She also made getting ready feel relaxed and fun. My makeup lasted throughout the ceremony, photos, and reception, and I received so many compliments. I felt confident, glamorous, and still completely like myself. I would absolutely recommend Emilie to any bride looking for beautiful, camera-ready makeup for her wedding day.

Founder | Bridal Makeup Artist & Wedding Filmmaker
Hi, I'm Emilie! I'm the founder of Soft Focus Weddings, where my love of beauty, filmmaking, and storytelling comes together to celebrate love in all its forms.
With a background in filmmaking and a passion for makeup artistry, I bring both an artistic eye and a thoughtful, personal approach to every wedding. Whether I'm creating a timeless bridal beauty look or capturing the candid, emotional moments that make your day uniquely yours, my goal is to help you feel beautiful, comfortable, and completely yourself.
I believe the most meaningful wedding memories are found in the little details: a quiet moment before the ceremony, an unexpected laugh, a happy tear, or the way two people look at each other when they think no one is watching.
Through Soft Focus Weddings, I offer bridal makeup artistry and wedding videography, both individually and together, creating a seamless experience for couples who value authenticity, artistry, and beautiful storytelling.
I'd love to be part of your special day and help you create memories you'll treasure for years to come!
