Vendor Spotlight | Makeup Artist Finn Mauritzen
As your photographer, I will absolutely do my best to document your story, but I want to go a few steps further. It’s important that we lay the groundwork for an amazing wedding or portrait session, and one way to do that is to have an excellent makeup artist.

Believe me, I’ve been to too many weddings where the makeup artist was slow, inexperienced, or took too much on, and it impacted everything else. If your makeup artist isn’t professional it can set back the whole timeline, maybe even costing you extra money if some vendors have to stay later than anticipated. I’ve also seen makeup artists who simply didn’t know their craft. Maybe they didn’t get to know you and your skin, or maybe they over-applied. You need someone who knows your goals, who understands what you’re looking for and will help you look your best.
Enter Finn Mauritzen, owner of Blush Away Makeup. I met Finn in 2016 and since then we’ve been able to partner up on many weddings, engagements and portrait sessions. She is one of my preferred makeup artists and for good reason! The first time I worked with her I knew something was different. She was on top of the timeline, going out of her way to make sure I would have all the time I needed to get the photos the couple wanted. She was professional in every way and made sure everyone she interacted with felt loved and cared for. Finn is a master with her makeup skills, but she is also a wonderful, calming force, helping brides be at ease and in the moment.
Now I’ll be honest, for a long time I was skeptical about makeup. I’m a huge believer that you should be confident in yourself no matter what, because no matter what, you are beautiful! I’ve always thought that makeup can make people look fake and not feel like themselves. But seeing Finn’s work has changed my mind. She is a master at applying the right amount of makeup to match your goals and make the photos look that much better.
“Finn is very knowledgeable about skin care, and gave me several helpful tips to get my skin in better condition before the wedding. For my trial, she was able to replicate the look I wanted perfectly. By the time my wedding came, I wanted a slightly softer look, which she achieved just as well.” Mandy, Shenandoah National Park Wedding
“I am not a big makeup wearer, so the natural makeup Finn used for me was perfect.” Christine, Annapolis, MD, Wedding
However, Finn isn’t just passionate about your makeup, but she has a passion for holistic skincare. She believes that great makeup isn’t just about applying the best product, it’s about preparing your skin and making sure your overall health is at its best. She works with you to prepare you in advance of your photo session.
It’s important to me that you have an excellent experience all-around. Being able to capture great photos means having you be stress-free. An important part of that equation is having the right makeup artist. I know that if I have a wedding with Finn it’s going to be a great experience for everyone. If you’re looking for a makeup artist for your wedding, engagement session, or anything else, hire Finn!
