🤍 Did you know?

I started Glam Atelier about seven years ago. I wasn’t new to makeup, but everything else was foreign to me: business, marketing, sales, operations, finances, tax strategy, HR, CRMs, P&Ls… it was all a language I didn’t speak. I had to learn it all (and continue to 😅) one mistake, and one win at a time.

In 2018 it was just me, but the business quickly became something I could no longer keep up with alone. This is where these wonderful people come into play. 🥹

Today, as Founder & Creative Director, my role is to lead the vision, set the standard, and ensure every detail reflects the Glam Atelier experience. (Yes, I also accept very limited Brides of my own!)

Glam Atelier isn’t “Klaudia Donovan.”
It’s a team of 14 dedicated Elite Hair and Makeup Artists who are trained on our signature techniques and create the stunning glam you see here.
It’s my amazing Director of Operations and administrative team making sure things run smoothly behind the scenes.
It’s our Client Concierge team caring for our lovely clients every step of the way.
Our CFO guiding us with clarity and purpose.

We’re a community, an ecosystem - not a single name. And when you’re with us, you can rest easy knowing you’re surrounded by a team fully invested in your experience, not just your appointment. 🤍

It’s easy to look at the “then vs now” and see the growth in artistry… but just like my skill, the behind-the-scenes was evolving too.

When I first started, I definitely wasn’t prepping your skin with La Mer or priming with Dior. I also wasn’t educating other artists, teaching advanced techniques, or collaborating with top vendors the way I do now. All these roles have sharpened my eye for detail and elevated the level of artistry I bring to my brides.

What began as a one-woman show grew into the full Glam Atelier ecosystem: a Director of Operations, concierge-style admin support, timeline experts, and a reliable team dedicated to making every part of your wedding morning seamless.

This isn’t “just because it’s a wedding.”
It’s because the experience, the quality, the products, the education, and the demand grew with the reputation we’ve worked so hard to build. ✨🤍

Who loves multiple wedding looks?! 🙋🏻‍♀️

At Glam Atelier we believe that each gown deserves her own moment - that means a change of hair, softening or smoking out the makeup, or whatever the vibe calls for. This is why we always recommend booking touch ups for your wedding day! Not only do you get us to perfect your hair and makeup in each and every photo (HELLO wind, rain, humidity, we see you!) but you can also utilize that time to change up your glam for each dress. Because one look just isn’t enough! ✨

🤍 Have you booked your glam yet?

THE TRUTH IS…

Even the Victoria’s Secret Angels - world’s most beautiful women glammed by the top pro artists - experience the same “flaws” you point out in your appointments.

Professional makeup isn’t supposed to look like your everyday tinted moisturizer. It’s meant to perform. To photograph flawlessly. To last through lights, heat, emotion, and movement.

Every layer (yes, there are multiple!), product, technique is refined for longevity and high definition footage. If you want that perfect Victoria’s Secret finish that we know and love - flawless skin, sculpted features, dazzling eyes - understand it might look a little different up close than what you see online. Trust the process and you’ll be so glad you did! 🤍

✨ Now booking 2026!

When someone sits in my chair I only ask ONE QUESTION:

“Do you have inspo, or should I do my thing?”

If there’s inspo - I’ll analyze, point out key features to make sure we’re interpreting them the same way and are aligned. I’ll then gage how involved and interested the client is in breaking down the look and continue a more in-depth consultation, or (more often) take it from there.

But if there’s no inspo I have absolutely ✨zero✨ problem taking full initiative. I actually prefer it! And this is typically how it goes.

Here’s a closer look on how I elevate my bridal glam - shoulders, collarbones, and décolletage included. These are my current go-to products to create that seamless, radiant finish that photographs like a dream. Because luxury glam is in the details, and glowing skin is the ultimate accessory. ✨

When you think you’re doing bridal glam but get a stand-up comedy show instead. 😂

Wedding mornings with my brides are always a vibe—glam, laughter, and the best energy to start the day. ✨ Because looking gorgeous is a given, but feeling amazing? That’s what makes the glam truly unforgettable. 🤍

The first thing I do when I get a client’s wedding gallery? Scroll straight to the last photos!

Because the real test of glam isn’t just how it looks at the start of the day - it’s how it holds up through every kiss, tear, and dance. Few things make me happier than seeing those final moments: soft curls still intact despite hours on the dance floor, glowing skin that’s endured happy tears, and a bride who looks just as radiant at midnight as she did walking down the aisle.

That’s what we create—luxury bridal glam that lasts as long as the love story it celebrates. ✨

What’s a BRIDAL PREVIEW? Let’s break it down.

Think of it like trying on your wedding dress - you’ve chosen your glam team, narrowed down your inspiration photos, and now it’s time to bring your vision to life. A preview is your chance to collaborate with a Glam Atelier Artist to refine the perfect look for your wedding day, tailored to your unique features and style.

Will we nail it on the first try? Maybe! But just like a gown fitting, adjustments may be needed. Seeing yourself in full bridal glam is a different experience than your regular getting ready routine, and small tweaks can make all the difference. It’s all about ensuring you feel iconic when you walk down the aisle.

Our stunning bride Soraya envisioned the signature Klaudia x Rachel look, and with a few refinements, we brought her dream bridal glam to life. ✨
