My passion is making my clients feel beautiful! I started my hair design training at Blanche MacDonald in Vancouver and returned to Calgary and received my Red Seal in the hair trade. I enjoy helping a bride achieve her vision for her big day. We can meet to consult about your hair colour and cut, as well as discuss a variety of hair extensions if needed. We will also book a trial, which is important to make sure we achieve perfection on the wedding day! I pride myself on being a good listener and sharing in your wedding vision. It would be an honour to work with your wedding party on the most important hair day of your life!

TM Artistry (Preferred Makeup Artist Vendor)
Allowing someone to do your makeup can be a vulnerable experience. That person can empower you to feel confident, comfortable, and stunning in your own skin. Building a personal connection through trust and communication is what I strive for as a makeup artist & hair stylist!
After graduating with my Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Calgary, I attended the world-renowned makeup artistry school, Blanche Macdonald in Vancouver, BC. I completed the full diploma program, studying all facets of makeup: bridal, fashion, hairstyling, airbrushing, special-effects, and prosthetics. I aim to create a professional, yet creative and fun environment with my clients! TM Artistry is an extension of myself and I cannot wait to share that with you!

We chose Shannon for our engagement and wedding photos, and it was the best decision ever. Shannon’s ability to capture candid moments and beautiful shots is incredible.

Shannon is everything you’d want in a photographer—punctual, knowledgeable about Calgary’s best spots, excellent communicator, patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely kind.

As a bride who worked with Shannon and Tracy for my wedding, I can’t praise them enough. They brought a sense of joy to every step of the process, making planning feel like a celebration. On the big day, I trusted them completely to execute our vision flawlessly. For any one looking for trustworthy and fun wedding experts, I highly recommend Shannon and Tracy.
Tracy is incredible! She listens to everything you’d like for your wedding hair and executes it while also making suggestions on good styles for your hair type. Tracy did a full hair trial for me before the big day and was so good about me switching things up after.
