Alicia's wedding amazingness!

Monday, December 20, 2010

I don't even second think when I get a call from Jesi Haack's office about a bride!!! Sign me on!!! I adore working with Jesi and what she helps create for her clients is just one of a kind! I had the honor of working with Jesi on her client Alicia's wedding! At Alicia's trial run I don't think I've ever laughed so hard! She is so lovely and totally hilarious!! She wanted big/huge hair! She wanted it sexy and sexy but out of her face. For makeup she wanted something fresh and bronzed with soft lips. I think we did good!! She described for me the wedding details and there were many amazing details!!! This couple were so creative!!! I adored every second of my time prettying Alicia and her wedding party!!! For more pics and the full wedding and details check out Jesi Haack's blog!!!

Featured on Inspired by This!!!! Krystal and Harrison Engaged!


Very excited to share the latest feature on Inspired By This!!! Krystal and I go way back from High School and years of dance. I hadn't seen her in years and was thrilled when she contacted me to pretty her up for her engagement shoot and later wedding. She wanted soft pretty hair with crisp fresh makeup. I had so much fun catching up with her and beautifying her for her engagement pics! Carissa from JL designs did all of the styling for the location and floral! None like Carissa! She's just the best!! Check out some of my faves from Sarah Yates photographyand the whole feature on Inspired by This.


Whitney's Modern nuptuals


When Whitney described her super cool, posh and ultra- modern wedding to me I was in!!! The main event took place at the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art! Amazing!!! The venue was as cool and smart as the couple! Whitney wanted something swept out of her face for hair and a dark smokey eye for drama! She had amazing accessories and I was over the top excited to see it all come together! From her robe necklace to flower headband from Etsy I just swooned! Check out some of the pics from the big day!!!













Michelle get's glam for the big day!

Thursday, December 9, 2010










Michelle was a one of a kind bride! She was so fun to work with and soooo excited! She had so many ideas and I was so happy to be a part of the big day! I had the honor of working again with her fabulous wedding planner and dear friends of mine from Mele Amore events. The wedding was chic, sparkly and over the top! Exactly as Michelle dreamed of! She was a lovely bride and a blast!!! For hair she wanted something textured and glam but still loose and romantic. I think we got it just right! Makeup was glam as well with deep plums and major lashes!! Her big day was shot by the amazing Wai Reyes! To see more from the wedding check out Wai's blog!!

Jen and Jeff's big day!




Jen was the most gorgeous bride and Jeff is the man behind Jeff Wallace photography!!! I was honored to be apart of their fabulous day at the incredible OC venue Rancho Las Lomas! The wedding was amazing and I am sooo happy to see them tie the knot! They are such a fun couple!!! Jen envisioned a smoky yet clean look for the big day and I think it was heaven on her with her bright blonde locks!!! Thanks Jen and Jeff for letting me be a part of your big day! I adored every second!!

Kristen gets hitched!

Monday, October 18, 2010


I had the total pleasure of beautifying the gorgeous Kristen for her big day this summer! Kristen has fabulous hair and gorgeous features! She was planning her wedding from the east coast so it was so fun to see it all come together smoothly for her! I dolled her up for her bridal shower and we swept her hair half up with some softness around the face. For the big day Kristen wanted something a bit off her neck so we brought it all up and kept it beachy and slightly structured in the back. On the makeup end she wanted something soft with emphasis on the eyes. She was a stunning bride!!! Check out some of my faves from the fabulous Roya Jade photography!

Page ties the knot!!

Page is the cousin of one of my most favorite brides Jen Steinhart! She is absolutely stunning and was such a pleasure to work with!! Her big day prep was at the Mission Inn and the ceremony right next door at the First Congregational Church! It's where Erik and I got married so I was super excited to see what they were envisioning for the fabulous church! Page wanted to look fresh and pretty with a little extra emphasis on eyes! So we worked up a beautiful soft rose eye with rosy cheeks and soft lips! Page has the most beautiful smile so a soft lip was perfect for her! Here are a couple of my favorite shots from One Fine Day Photography!
