The Brite Journey: Jadyn Cisneros
Here at Brite Beauty- there are no strangers. Trials and portraits are the perfect time for brides to get to know their artist and collaborate to create a look that lasts and brides feel their most beautiful in. During trials, it’s important to know what you want, but it is also the moment you find out what you don’t want. Creating that environment where our brides feel comfortable to express their likes and dislikes is what Brite Beauty prides ourselves on. Weddings are a magical and sentimental moment to be a part of, and the most touching experience a hair and makeup team can obtain is a long lasting and memorable relationship with our brides. Jadyn’s story was one for the books.
THE TRIAL
Jadyn first met our team members, Marcus and Shantelle, back in March 2026 for her bridal trial. Inspiration photos were shared and memories were created. Throughout the trial Marcus, Shantelle, and Jadyn got to know one another. Jadyn shared her love story with the two - her life, family, career, and from there an atmosphere of fun and comfort was created. She requested a soft glam look, comfortable with her everyday “no makeup” makeup, she did not want to stray far from what she felt best in. From there Marcus took his brush and constructed a look based with trust, understanding, and collaboration. Offering new ideas, while also providing temperature checks to be sure the look was exactly what Jadyn was looking for. For hair, she requested a clean half up half down with voluminous Hollywood-style dimensional waves. With a look like this, a “trust the process” was essential. Shantelle walked Jadyn through the process- the teasing, the hair spray, the curling- assuring her: it’s gonna look scary before it looks good. Jadyn gave the green light and the trial went on. As they got closer to the end Jadyn peaked glances in the mirror, her smile getting bigger and bigger. Finally, the finished product was shown to Jadyn. The look was adored by Jadyn, Marcus, and Shantelle. The team gave the run down for next steps: wear it, feel it, and take notes. If there was anything at all that Jadyn would like to change, they would make it happen. Hugs were shared and the three said their goodbyes, ecstatic for the wedding day that was right around the corner.
“ I had the BEST time at my bridal HAMU trial with Shantelle and Marcus. I am soooo excited to work with them.”
THE PORTRAITS
A month later, Jadyn returned for her bridal portraits. The three were thrilled to see one another again. Updates on wedding planning and lives were shared as the portrait styling began. Results were also shared of how the hair and makeup held throughout the day from the trial. Curls were still intact and makeup stayed fresh. For hair, Jadyn wanted to go tighter with the clean half up. For makeup, Jadyn opted for a different style of eyeliner. Instead of black, she first wanted to try a soft smoked out brown which could then be built into something darker if she desired. Shantelle and Marcus got to work and the look became into what would be her wedding day glam. The love for the look was shared all over again. More hugs, more goodbyes, and even more excitement for wedding day closed the day out for the three.

THE WEDDING
Finally, the wedding day was here. The team started early. 4 artists set up in The Spring Valley View Mansion and got to work. Hairstyles and makeup of all kinds were created - updos, half-ups, voluminous curls, soft glam, full glam, and natural makeup. Bridesmaids and bridal party guests took their seats, shared inspiration, and the day ran smoothly. When it was Jadyn’s turn she said the magic words: No notes. Shantelle and Marcus recreated her wedding day glam perfectly, and just like that our bride was ready. They shared hugs goodbye and Jadyn was off to become Mrs. Craig.
“It was the best day ever. I'm so so so thankful for the team we had that day, but especially to Marcus & Shantelle who I've gotten to know over the past few months. They are miracle workers!!!!! I adore them and am currently trying to come up with an excuse to work with them again. I will be recommending Brite Beauty to everyone I know. Things were made so easy and I couldn't be happier with the experience!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!”
