Planning an intimate wedding or elopement in Cincinnati? Whether it’s just the two of you at the courthouse, a private ceremony at a local venue, or a small gathering with your closest loved ones, your day still deserves to feel special and thoughtfully cared for.
Chenese has been a professional makeup artist since 1997, providing polished, camera-ready makeup for brides who want to look like themselves, just elevated.
