Do you do wedding makeup in Ogunquit?
Ogunquit weddings usually sit near the beach or the Marginal Way, which means wind, salt and bright open light. That combination is the whole planning conversation. I use a base that holds in humidity, waterproof on the lash line and a set that survives the walk to the water, and I keep the finish looking like skin rather than powder. Brides here often want warm and glowing with a soft eye, which works beautifully against sand and blue, though I will usually push the lip and the lash slightly stronger so the look does not vanish in full sun. Summer traffic on Route 1 through Wells and Ogunquit is slow and unpredictable, so I plan my arrival well ahead of the schedule. I leave a small touch up kit for the beach photos and the evening.

Travel to Ogunquit is about $280, quoted for your exact location at booking. That is the round trip drive time from Lewiston at $100 per hour, and it is an estimate rather than a fixed quote.
A 50 percent deposit holds your date. The balance is due two weeks before the wedding.
Long drives like Bar Harbor, Rangeley or Jackson are covered by the same $100 per hour round trip travel fee. When an overnight makes sense, I handle the accommodations and it is settled case by case at booking.
Everything is confirmed in writing before your date is held.
How long is the drive to Ogunquit?
From the studio inside Tucci & Co Salon in Lewiston, Ogunquit is about an hour and twenty five minutes away, about 75 miles. Route 1 summer traffic is slow, so my arrival is planned well ahead of your start time. I work one wedding per date, so the morning schedule is built around your ceremony time rather than squeezed between jobs.
Plan about an hour for the bride and 30 to 45 minutes for each additional person. Send your ceremony time and I will work backwards from it with you.
Everything included with bridal makeup, and how I run the morning, is on my Maine wedding makeup page.
How should I plan a wedding morning in Ogunquit?
In Ogunquit, getting ready often happens in an oceanfront hotel room, a guest house near the village or a rented cottage close to the beach. Ocean view rooms usually have wonderful light, and I set up right beside the window when there is space.
The drive from Lewiston is about an hour and twenty five minutes, about 75 miles, and travel is about $280 round trip at $100 per hour, confirmed at booking. Route 1 in summer can crawl, so my arrival is planned well ahead of your start time.
Beach weddings mean salt air, humidity and wind off the water. I use a primer that grips, thin layers of foundation and a setting spray, and keep the lash line waterproof for photos near the surf.
At your preview in my Lewiston studio, it helps to know if you plan photos on the beach, along the cliff walk or in the village. Bright midday sun near the water shows every layer, so the base stays thin and the finish soft. Evening receptions on the coast bring cooler air and softer light, and a slightly deeper lip carries well into those photos. Summer dates here are popular, so send your date early.
Ogunquit gets very busy in summer, and parking in the village can be tight, so I ask ahead where I can unload my kit and leave the car. If you are staying in a hotel or inn, check whether the room has space for a table and chair near a window, or if a common room can be used for the morning. I send the schedule a few weeks out so each person knows their time. Anyone added to the morning is $130.
For the party, one clear table and an outlet by the window is ideal. Tell me the headcount and ready time. Each extra person is $130.
How should I plan makeup before walking toward the water?
A guest house near the village or a beach rental can be comfortable for makeup if one table stays free of luggage. I bring lighting, but a window helps me check the look before anyone walks into full beach light. If you plan to walk to photographs, include the time needed to get there, especially if the group is carrying clothing or taking separate cars. I want the last check to happen while everyone is still together in the room.
Travel starts with the round trip drive from Lewiston at $100 per hour and is confirmed for the actual address. Summer traffic along Route 1 may make the last miles slower than the rest of the drive, so I allow for it in my arrival plan. Send the number of people having makeup and the time you must leave the rental. If someone has an earlier photo call, I can adjust the chair order rather than rush the whole group.
