About The Velvet Hour, LLC

The Velvet Hour, LLC

Founder + Creative Director

Born from a love of beauty that feels intentional and deeply personal. Your bridal look is tailored to your story. If you’re drawn to beauty that feels intentional + cinematic BOUDOIR photography (YES! we offer that as well) The Velvet Hour was created for you. 📍Serving brides throughout Maryland & South Central Pennsylvania.

After more than 16 years in luxury beauty, including my time as a CHANEL artist, I've learned that the most unforgettable makeup doesn't transform who you are, it enhances what already makes you beautiful. When you sit in our chair, you're not just another appointment. You're cared for, celebrated, and guided through a relaxed and personalized experience. It would be an honor to be part of your wedding day. 🌟 BRIDAL starts at $225 Wedding Party and MOB/MOG starts at $150

    The Velvet Hour- A 5 Star Business

    My experience with The Velvet Hour was professional, smooth, and so much fun! I booked a photoshoot for new headshots for the entertainment industry and for my real estate career. Chelsea helped me each step of the way. She was always there and quick to answer my (many) questions and was able to provide great advice regarding outfits, makeup, hair, and style of photos for each purpose. Chelsea is truly talented and has such an eye for beauty. I would recommend The Velvet Hour to anyone and everyone. You won’t be disappointed!

    Outstanding

    The Velvet Hour, LLC made getting ready on our wedding day feel calm and stress-free, which honestly made all the difference. The team arrived right on time and treated us with such kindness while keeping everything professional and organized. Their work was stunning. They gave us that luxury glam look we wanted, but it felt natural and like ourselves, just elevated. I looked beautiful and felt confident walking down the aisle, which is exactly what you hope for. From start to finish, they delivered exceptional service, and we'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for talented beauty professionals.

    Talented and Fun MUA!

    We absolutely loved working with Chelsea and her team for our wedding! We had a large bridal party and she was very accommodating and got everything done ahead of schedule. Everyone’s makeup stayed on super well, even with the pouring rain! Chelsea wasn’t just talented and communicative though, she was also such a fun vibe for the morning of the wedding! We highly recommend her for any event!
