Empowering Visuals for an Inclusive Creative Brand

Meet Kim Gomez, the founder and creative force behind Marry Me Design Studio. Kim brings over a decade of experience as a wedding hair and makeup artist into her work, designing website templates made specifically for beauty pros in the wedding industry.

Marry Me Design Studio offers easy-to-use, SEO-friendly Squarespace templates and tools that help wedding hair and makeup artists attract dream clients without the stress of tech overwhelm. Kim’s work is grounded in inclusivity, strategy, and a deep understanding of what it takes to grow a service-based business in a competitive market.

Her mission is clear: to help beauty pros show up online with confidence, connect with the right clients, and build sustainable, thriving businesses—starting with a website that truly works for them

Why We Chose The Sunlight Space

When planning Kim’s brand session, we wanted a space that offered flexibility and warmth—just like her approach to design. The Sunlight Space in Northern California checked every box. It features a wide variety of backdrops, from clean white nooks to colorful textured corners, giving us the perfect canvas to capture all the facets of Kim’s brand.

The variety allowed us to showcase different looks—from editorial to everyday—while keeping everything cohesive and aligned with her brand identity.

Capturing Kim in Her Element

Our goal for the shoot was clear: highlight Kim’s personality, expertise, and everyday magicWe focused on images that showed her:

  • On her laptop and phone, engaging in real work moments
  • Celebrating with confetti for all of those celebration-type social media posts.
  • Relaxed and confident, letting her personality shine through
  • In settings that mirrored the creative environments she designs for

These photos now serve as valuable assets for Kim’s website, marketing, and social platforms—giving her content that speaks directly to her audience.

A Brand That Truly Gets You

Kim doesn’t just build websites—she builds foundations for growth. Her clients often come to her feeling overwhelmed by tech, branding, or SEO—and leave with a website that feels like home. Whether you’re a wedding hair and makeup artist, creative entrepreneur, or service provider, Kim helps you show up online in a way that feels empowering and aligned.

She’s more than a web designer—she’s a partner in your business journey.

Final Thoughts: More Than Just Photos

This brand session was about more than headshots. It was about capturing the why behind the work. Kim’s commitment to equity, ease, and authentic connection shows in everything she does—and now, her brand visuals reflect that too.
