Julia is naturally gorgeous, and she has a positive light that shines from within. I wanted to keep her looking like herself, and to bring out her glow!

I made sure Julia’s brows looked symmetrical, and evened out her skin tone while keeping the eyeshadow soft and neutral.

I lined Julia’s lips with a nude lip pencil, and filled in the lip with a rose colored lipstick and gloss.

I also highlighted the high planes of her face with some of my favorite products, and brought some lotion to accentuate her athletic arms.

I brought the sexy factor up with a clean (waterproof) black line on Julia’s upper lash line. Natural false lashes made sure David would be swept away by Julia’s gaze all night.

Along with their guests, Julia and David enjoyed a gorgeous evening, which included incredible cuisine and genuine love.

Julia and David look so happy in all of their photos. I am honored to have been a part of their awesome day!

I always love to make my brides look and feel perfectly beautiful on their special day.  This is why we always customize each look for every one of our brides. A few weeks prior to the wedding, we meet up with Jatziri for a trial run. After exploring options with her hair and makeup, we came up with a style for her – large loose curls paired with a subtle smokey eye.

Before the wedding itself, we carried over Jatziri’s custom look to all of the girls in her bridal party. The girls had a great time getting made up together, and looked simply stunning!

With her soft, glamorous curls, and subtle, smokey eyes, Jatziri looked incredible! We made sure to use waterproof mascara and eyeliner in anticipation of the flowing tears!

Jatziri’s main concern was that her hair and makeup last throughout the day and into the night. With a little help from some oil-controlling primers, and long lasting Airbrush Makeup, she and her bridal party danced well into the evening, without worry!

We wish Jatziri and Geovani the best of luck in their new life together!

Ashley was a wonderful bride to work with, and it helped that she had such a great eye for style! After discussing Ashley’s goals for her wedding day look, we decided to create not one, but two custom styles for her! The goal was to give her the versatility, functionality, and most of all, the glamour that she was after on her big day.

Look number one featured gorgeous cascading curls. The beautiful hair seen in these images is all Ashley’s, and it’s even her natural color! I was thrilled to have such an incredible canvas to work with. I swept her curls over to one side, ensuring that could show off the beautiful detailing on her bridal bolero or gown.

The makeup artist for Ashley and her bridal party, Maggie Hansen, created glamorous and flawless finishes for all of the girls. She used a mixture of products, including Temptu and MAC cosmetics.

When it was time for look number two, we only had 15 minutes to pull off this transformation!  I love that in such a short period of time, we were able to create a completely different feeling in this soft, romantic up-do. The up-style let Ashley eat cake, and dance the night away, without giving her hair a second thought. Isn’t that what every bride wants on her wedding day?

We love looking at these beautifully captured images.  It was an honor to participate in such an event to remember!

We met for a hair and makeup trial just two weeks before her big day.  I enjoyed getting to know the bride-to-be, and hearing stories about how she and Arturo met.

Anna Rose has beautiful, thick blonde hair! We decided during the trial that loose soft waves would give her a flowy, feminine look. The idea was to match the romantic feel of her wedding day.

To create her hair design, I used the flat iron to create some loose waves, and added a simple braid to the side of her hair. I topped it off by applying my favorite cream to the waves, which made them separate and hold.

The braid added a fun, whimsical look, and it helped Anna Rose’s hair stay in place throughout the evening.

For make-up, we wanted to continue the soft look, in order to create a natural glow and rosy cheeks. I added a special moisturizer to the foundation to for a dewy effect. We went with pink lips, with a gloss on top.

When blending the eyeshadow, I used a shadow brush to gradually work the shadow into the eyelids. The technique I used was to flutter the brush many times on the lid.

When Anna Rose put on her wedding gown, she looked so beautiful! Her hair and makeup came together perfectly, and her dress to completed the look. When the  music came on, you couldn’t help but feel the happiness and joy in the room.

For a cohesive look, we continued the braid work in some of the bridesmaids’ hair. Because each skin type is very different, we custom blended individual foundation colors for each member of the bridal party. We also used artificial eyelashes for some of our styles.

Anna Rose looked stunning as she walked down the aisle towards her soon-to-be husband. Every aspect of this wedding was breathtaking!

I recently had the pleasure to work with Mariam and Umer’s families, for their wedding henna body art.  They were an amazing and wonderfully friendly group of people!

A henna party was held at the Palo Verde Lake Clubhouse in Alpine, where family and friends gathered two days prior to the the wedding day. Henna is typically applied to the bride’s hands and feet about 2 days before the actual wedding, so that the henna stain is at its peak on the big day.

Mariam is very fond of paisleys, so I incorporated lots of paisleys into her henna designs. A fun part of wedding henna is that the bride can choose to hide the groom’s name in the intricate design, for him to find. Umer’s name is hidden in the design below. Can you find it? (Hint hint…. look VERY closely at the design on her right hand)

We also created simple designs for the guests, which we glammed up with glitter to match their colorful outfits. Even little girls LOVE their henna!

Using henna paste on the skin, we created intricate mandala designs (like on the left, below). We also designed beautiful patterns using natural henna stain (as seen on the right, below), which last for an average of two weeks.

Mariam chose the supreme package, opting for for henna designs all the way up to her elbows. She looked gorgeous as she got ready for their wedding at the La Jolla Torrey Pines Hilton.

I love this photo of the bride receiving a flower ring from her mother, who is also adorned with henna.

The wedding festivities continued inside the ballroom of the Torrey Pines Hilton. It was a stunning celebration!
