WEDDING MAKEUP IN PORTLAND
Portland weddings usually happen in a hotel room, a rented condo or a brick building on the peninsula, so the getting ready space is often smaller than a bride pictures. I bring my own light and set up in whatever corner has an outlet, and I ask for the room where the windows are, even if that means the bedroom rather than the suite. Summer here is humid and the waterfront wind is real, so I lean on long wear base products, set in thin layers and give you a blotting plan for photos on the pier. Fall light in Portland is beautiful and forgiving, which means a softer eye still reads on camera. Because the drive is short, an early ceremony is easy for me. I plan to arrive at least an hour before I need to start so parking and elevators never eat your timeline.
PRICING

Travel to Portland is about $140, 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.
Party minimum of 3. Smaller groups are considered case by case, so ask.
A 50 percent deposit holds your date. Deposits are nonrefundable, with exceptions considered case by case.
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 we settle it case by case at booking.
Everything is confirmed in writing before your date is held.
TRAVEL AND TIMING
From the studio inside Tucci & Co Salon in Lewiston, Portland is about 40 minutes away, about 36 miles. Portland parking and elevators are the usual delay, so I build in extra arrival time. Bridgette works 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 Bridgette will work backwards from it with you.

As soon as your date is set. Bridgette takes one wedding per date, so a Portland Saturday in summer or early autumn is worth asking about early. Send your date and party size and she will confirm what is possible.
