MY BEAUTY BELIEFS
I'M RENATA
I'm a firm believer that your wedding day should be the moment you feel most confident and truly yourself.
Known as the "natural makeup artist", I collaborate with my clients to create a wedding day look that highlights the best features with soft application techniques.
I have worked in the beauty industry for 16 years in the Washington, DC market. When I’m not working with bridal clients, I can be found working behind the scenes creating camera-ready beauty and grooming for high-profile on-air talent, political figures and professional speakers.
My experience in retail and television allows me to offer a most inclusive experience for all who want to look and feel their best in person and in their captured memories.

THE CAPITOL BRIDE EXPERIENCE
I hired Renata and her team to do mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup for my wedding! Renata was so sweet and such a pleasure to work with. She also nailed what I wanted perfectly! While getting my hair and makeup done, everyone was having great conversations with her team and just having a great time in general. I would highly recommend hiring Capitol Bride if you're looking for people who listen, are very attentive, and if you want your experience to be more authentic! - Kassandra Wall

Why is professional makeup and hair so important?A professional bridal makeup and hair artist uses the best products optimal for HD photography. With the advancement of digital technology, our carefully curated product selection produces the best results for a classic, picture-perfect look. Certain types of ingredients in skincare and makeup can create a white overcast on the skin and can be picked up in flash photography. When the entire Bridal party has a seamless look, it is captured beautifully in your photos.
-
How far in advance should I book your services?May, June, September and October are the busiest months and tend to book quickly. 2022 Brides should book hair and makeup at least 6 months in advance since most 2020 weddings were postponed.
-
How many clients are you able to service on the wedding?There is no limit to the amount of services available as long as we have the space and team members available to accommodate your needs.

For 2022 -2023 weddings, our Senior Artist will be only servicing the Bride to create an elevated beauty experience.
