Fast forward to after graduating with a BA in Technical Theatre Arts, a certificate in special effects makeup and 6 years at MAC cosmetics and I now proudly serve couples with my dual photography and bridal/event makeup businesses... Voila... Bethany Effects!
First and Foremost... Hi!
Now, let's start with the history! I grew up loving art and wanting to be a special effects makeup artist so much so that I decided I would go by Bethany Effects as a business name. I quickly fell in love with bridal and event makeup and began my makeup artistry business in 2011. Somewhere along the line I bought my first camera so that I can take photos of my bridal clients and realized I loved creating portrait art out of life's most fun moments.

Listen.. Wedding planning does not need to be stressful. Your wedding is meant to celebrate two amazing people choosing do ride this crazy rollercoaster together and it should be one of the most fun and least stressful events of your life. I love creating art from your wedding and giving you something to look back on for years to come. This is why I pride myself on making the process as easy as possible.
