Erin Ryser
I’ve been in the bridal industry for ten years, serving brides in the southeastern United States and beyond! We are based out of Atlanta, GA, but about half of our brides do destination celebrations…we love to travel! I always describe my aesthetic as “you but special”.
What is your favorite part of wedding day?
“My favorite part is getting to be a friend to my brides...laughing the jitters out, telling funny stories to lighten the mood, or soaking up some sweet silence and calm if that’s what’s needed. I’m team bride through and through and do everything I can to help her morning feel relaxed and easy. I focus on getting to know my clients and spend most of my time listening; so I can gauge what they need on their big day…both with their beauty and the overall feel of their beauty experience. I'm so honored each time a bride chooses and trusts me with such a precious time.”
What do you enjoy doing outside of bridal moments?
“I love spending time with my husband and our three kids. We enjoy watching and playing sports, slow evenings just soaking up time with friends, and traveling to visit family. I spend a lot of time gardening and baking, also!”

What do you enjoy about wedding day?
“I enjoy so many things about wedding day. My favorite would have to be the look on the brides faces as they see their finished styles for the first time. This is not just a job for me. This has been a lifetime passion. I work in the hair and makeup industry because it speaks to my soul. My main goal for all of my clients, is for them to know that ‘I’ve got you’. I want to go above and beyond to make sure you get the style and look you’ve been dreaming of.”
What do you enjoy doing outside of bridal moments?
“I love spending time at home with my husband, family, and friends…whether we're cooking together, playing board games, or just hanging out with family. I also really enjoy getting lost in a good book; I can't seem to get enough reading time.”
Bethany Watkins
Bethany has been serving brides and their loved ones in the beauty industry for 9 years. She contributes a sense of calm and a clear knowledge set that she always uses to benefit her client, both in conversation and of course beauty application. Her personal style transfers into her professional work with a romantic feel; think picnic tea with sugar cubes, scones & lemon curd. All the soft, timeless, wearable beauty.
What do you enjoy about wedding day?
“One of the most rewarding parts of a wedding day is being part of the intricate process of creating something uniquely beautiful. Every woman is different and it’s amazing to see all the artists’ work come together into a cohesive vision. It’s like watching a living painting unfold and blend into a stunning, one-of-a-kind story. It is a privilege to be a part of one of the most special days of a woman’s life. It’s extra special when someone comes in feeling nervous or unsure because of past experiences, and then light up when they see themselves in the mirror. This is more than work for me, it is a passion and heart-beat of mine to cultivate life and beauty in everything I do. I am an artist at heart, continually inspired by the beauty of God and the reflection of His nature in each and every person. It is an honor to illuminate that beauty and help women see the love, worth, and purpose He has placed within them.”
What do you enjoy outside of bridal moments?
“I love spending time with my people, Jesus and leading worship. I enjoy camping, traveling, crocheting, rock climbing, cooking and playing piano. I’m an introvert and feel most at home with a good cup of coffee and a great book.”
