I’m Maria a luxury bridal makeup artist, floral lover, event pro, and proud dog mom to Cooper, my sweet golden doodle. 🐾

A 27-year-old Latina based in Burke, Virginia, I’ve spent over 16 years in the wedding and event world, combining beauty, creativity, and organization to help bring dream days to life. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Franklin University, and became a certified makeup artist through Axel Academy in 2021—officially turning my passion into a career.

My experience started at Main Event, where I spent 12 years growing through roles like server, HR intern, assistant event associate, and supervisor. That hands-on experience taught me how to keep things running smoothly while bringing joy and confidence to everyone I work with.

My creative side? That comes from my amazing mom, whose love of flowers inspired me from a young age. I trained with the talented Halima of Floral Guru, learning to blend beauty and florals into cohesive, elegant experiences.

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some incredible artists—Makeup by Ana B, Priscilla M Beauty, Makeup by Ivett, and Makeup by Alby—as well as collaborating in fashion shows, beauty pageants, and styled shoots across the DMV area. These opportunities have helped shape my artistry and refine the elevated, timeless style I bring to every client.

Outside of weddings, you’ll find me at Burn Boot Camp in Fairlakes, catching a coffee run, or spending quality time with Cooper.

Whether you're planning a luxe destination wedding or an intimate local celebration, I’ll be there to make sure you feel radiant, confident, and totally taken care of—from the first brushstroke to the final photo.

Your day, your look—elevated with love, style, and a little bit of magic. 💕
