The Story Behind the Name
Behind the Brush
One artist. Two daughters. A name that says everything about the work — where old-world elegance meets the ease of something entirely now.
How It Started
Classic Meets Modern. That's the Whole Idea.
Jeanne & Ellie Co. is the work of one artist — Sara. The name belongs to her daughters, and it was chosen deliberately. Jeanne is classic: structured, timeless, the kind of beauty that has always been beautiful. Ellie is modern: effortless, fresh, unbothered by rules. Together they describe exactly the kind of work Sara does.
Sara has spent years studying the faces of brides — what makes a look feel right in person, what holds under a flash, what a woman sees in the mirror at 6am on her wedding morning and feels completely herself. She doesn't have a signature look. She has a signature approach: listen first, then create.
She works with a small number of brides each season — intentionally. Every booking gets her full attention, from the first consultation to the last touch on wedding morning. The result is work that feels personal, because it is.
Meet Sara
Sara
Founder & Lead Artist — Hair & Makeup
Sara is a Los Angeles-based bridal hair and makeup artist with a deep belief that the best bridal looks are the ones that feel completely natural to the person wearing them. Her aesthetic lives in the space between Jeanne and Ellie — between the timeless and the effortless — and it shows in every look she creates.
She works across Los Angeles, the California coast, and destination weddings. Her clients describe her presence on wedding morning as calm, focused, and genuinely joyful — the kind of energy a bride needs in the room.

The Classic
Structured. Timeless. The kind of beauty that has always been beautiful — sculpted, refined, and built to last. Jeanne is the old-world glamour in every look Sara creates.
The Modern
Effortless. Fresh. Unbothered by rules. Ellie is the ease and lightness that keeps every look from feeling overdone — the modern breath in something timeless.
Named for Sara's daughters. Defined by the balance between them.
What I Believe
The Philosophy
Presence Over Volume
I limit my bookings intentionally. Every bride deserves an artist who is fully present — not rushing to the next appointment.
The Trial Is Everything
I don't guess on wedding day. The trial is where we design your look together, test every product, and make sure you feel completely confident.
Looks That Last
Every look is built to photograph beautifully and hold from ceremony to last dance — no touch-up anxiety, no mid-reception meltdowns.
Your Face, Elevated
I don't impose a signature look. I study your features, your dress, your venue, and create something that feels like the most polished version of you.
