About Tanja

​

​I’m an artist, animal lover, and bridal beauty professional with more than 25 years of experience in the wedding, fashion, and film industries.

​

I built Valentine Bride in New Jersey, where I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of brides feel beautiful, confident, and completely themselves on their wedding day. Although I now live on a beautiful farm in Arkansas, New Jersey will always be an important part of Valentine Bride. I continue to travel back for select New Jersey weddings, while my talented and trusted team serves brides throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York.

​

I’m also excited to bring the Valentine Bride experience to Arkansas! Brides who have their trials with me here can enjoy the same relaxed, personalized experience—now surrounded by the peaceful countryside and all the animals that make farm life so special.

​

Creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do. In addition to hair and makeup, I’m passionate about painting, drawing, photography, and chainsaw carving. You can explore more of my artwork at www.tanjastimbers.com.

​

Whether I’m creating a bride’s perfect wedding-day look or working on a piece of art, I love taking someone’s vision and bringing it beautifully to life.

Over the years, my commitment to creating a calm, personalized, and beautiful experience for every bride has earned me a trusted reputation in the wedding industry. I’m honored to be a preferred vendor at some of the area’s most sought-after venues, including:

Perona Farms, The Inn at Millrace Pond, Skylands Manor and Sylvan Ridge Farm.

These longstanding relationships reflect the level of care, professionalism, and artistry that the Valentine Bride Team and I bring to each wedding day.
