Bianca Sansosti Artistry + 312FILMS: Wedding Day Hair & Makeup Across Four Chicago Weddings

Some names keep showing up in our credits, wedding after wedding, and Bianca Sansosti Artistry is one of them. Across four Chicago weddings we’ve filmed, from a ballroom at the Ritz-Carlton to a skyline ceremony at the Adler Planetarium, their team has been behind the camera’s other side: the hair and makeup that has to look flawless in close-up, hold up for twelve hours of dancing, and read true on film.

About Bianca Sansosti Artistry

Bianca Sansosti Artistry is a Chicago-based, woman-owned hair and makeup studio at 1000 N Milwaukee Ave, serving Chicagoland weddings (and, for destination clients, Naples, Florida). Bianca has more than 15 years in the beauty industry, spanning weddings, commercials, and print work, before narrowing her focus exclusively to weddings. Over the past decade she’s built an associate team of stylists and makeup artists, including Gabe, Besa, and Lauren among others, who show up again and again in client reviews by name.

On The Knot, Bianca Sansosti Artistry holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating across 92 reviews, with five-time Best of Weddings recognition (2025, 2023, 2022, and two earlier years) and a Hall of Fame Award for four or more Best of Weddings wins. Bookings are quote-based, priced around your bridal party size and the specific services you need (hair, makeup, trials, touch-ups, group bookings), so figures vary wedding to wedding rather than following a flat rate.

The Weddings We’ve Shared

• Hannah & Allen at the Ritz-Carlton Chicago — a TCU love story turned into a star-studded celebration, with Bianca Sansosti Artistry (alongside Hair and Makeup by Gabe) handling hair for the bridal party.
• Hannah & Sean at Glen View Club — the team perfected hair and makeup for Hannah and her bridesmaids at the Ring residence before a ceremony at Our Lady of Perpetual Help and a reception at Glen View Club.
• Kimberly & Rich at the Chicago History Museum — beauty by Bianca Sansosti Artistry for a classic Chicago wedding day that ran from a first look at The Ambassador to a reception at the History Museum.
• AJ & Aaron at the Adler Planetarium — hair and makeup at The Langham ahead of a skyline ceremony and a dance floor that ran until 1 AM.

What Bianca Sansosti Artistry Brings to a Wedding Film

Wedding films are unforgiving on hair and makeup in a way photos aren’t: a bride turns her head, laughs mid-toast, or gets caught in wind on a rooftop, and it all has to hold. Across these four weddings, we’ve watched Bianca Sansosti Artistry’s team deliver looks that read as natural and camera-ready at once, and that survive a ceremony, a first look, and a night of dancing without a touch-up in sight. Reviewers consistently point to the same thing we notice on set: a calm, organized artist who keeps a getting-ready room on schedule while making everyone in it feel at ease, which matters as much for how a wedding morning looks on film as how it feels in the room.

For Couples Weighing Hair & Makeup

If you’re planning a Chicago wedding and still building out your beauty team, it’s worth booking a trial early, especially for larger bridal parties. Bianca Sansosti Artistry’s team handles everything from a single bride to a dozen-plus person morning, and having that many moving pieces on a schedule is part of what lets a wedding day (and its film) move smoothly from first look to last dance.
