    Elizabeth - Founder + Makeup Artist

    I am a wife, mom, former cheese maker & farm kid, child of Christ, and lover of all things pretty. Seriously, if it has sparkles, is metallic, or lit by golden hour, I. Am. There. I have been actively working as an airbrush makeup artist in Bellingham, Wa since 2012 and in that time have been featured in several publications including Bellingham Alive, Style Me Pretty, Green Wedding Shoes, and PopSugar. I love being creative with makeup, but I ADORE infusing confidence and calm into every face I touch.

    Kaitlyn - Hair Stylist + Makeup Artist

    Hi there, I’m Kaitlyn

    I enjoy being apart of weddings start to finish. From meeting at the trial to perfect your vision so that, I can give you and your bridal party a calm start to the wedding day. I love connecting over the details of weddings and on a personal level to help create a style that best suits.

    Outside of being a stylist you’ll find my husband and I traveling. Whether it’s a road trip from one state to another or by plane to somewhere new and far. As well as spending time at home starting a new project on our fixer upper or just relaxing with our dogs.

    Hi, I’m Kennedy!

    I’ve been doing bridal makeup with EM Bridal Team since 2018. Being a teacher as my day job, bridal makeup has morphed into the most perfect way to fill my summers. I love being a part of each unique wedding morning and helping groups feel comfortable, confident, and ready to conquer the day!

    Malia - Hair Stylist

    I love being apart of the best day in our brides life and seeing everyone light up when they see themselves with their hair and make up done!

    When I’m not doing weddings on the weekends you can usually find me at one of my boys’ sporting events, cheering them on with an iced americano in my hand (even when it’s cold outside!).

    Carla - Hair Stylist

    Hi there, my name is Carla Harkness.

    I am from the Pacific Northwest and have been styling hair professionally since 2011 (but my passion for playing with hair goes way back). I specialize in bridal and special events styling. I absolutely love that I get to meet people from all over the states in different walks of life, and they allow me to play such a special part in their most memorable day. I always been drawn to hairstyling and the impact it can make in someone’s confidence.

    A little about me: I married my high school sweetheart and together we have three beautiful children that the Lord has blessed us with. When I am not at the salon you can find me with a coffee in hand all over our little town of Lynden either coaching cheerleading, working at Lynden Christian school or supporting my kids in their sports and activities.

    I have been apart of this wonderful team for going on 4 years now and I love EVERY second of it! Making people feel beautiful on their special day is so rewarding. I especially love getting to do hair and makeup for my elopement brides and see the wonderful adventures they choose to go on on their wedding day! I love getting to go on a beautiful drive to the mountains to help brides get ready to celebrate their love!

    When I’m not doing bridal hair and makeup, you can find me working on any kind of creative project I can get my hands on! From content creation, social media management, photography, editing, etc., I absolutely love to keep myself busy with fun and creative work. Also in my free time, I love to go out to new restaurants or explore with my husband and my Australian shepherd Luna!

    Welcome! I’m Alexandra Bergsma, most commonly known as Zandra for short. I joined the bridal team in 2023 and am enjoying being a part of so many wonderful weddings days!

    Katie Jane - Hair Stylist + Makeup Artist

    This is my 2nd year of doing weddings and first year on the bridal team and I absolutely LOVE IT! From the brides to the flower girls- I love every bit of it and everyone of you! What a special day to be able to serve you- in such a way. Bridal hair is a passion for me, my favorite part is the excitement of that first glance in the mirror after fishing your bridal hair. When I’m not at a wedding you can find me at home lovin’ on my little babe or elbows deep in the garden!

  • Austyn - Makeup Artist

    I’ve always had a passion for beauty! I’ve been doing makeup for friends and family for as long as I can remember, and vividly remember a time in high school when I successfully applied mascara on a friend while in a moving vehicle in downtown Seattle - not a smudge or a poke took place! It was then I knew I was destined for this some how, some way!

    I spent time getting my BA and pursuing a career in HR all while dabbling in makeup for friends along the way. In 2022 I decided it was time to finally & officially chase after what I’d always felt called for and started my own beauty business, Moxie Tans. Not too long after, I was invited to join the EM Bridal Team - truly a dream come true!

    A few of my favorite things aside from beauty are iced coffee, personal/professional development & human connection… I look forward to all I get to connect with through the EM Bridal Team!
