All Hallows Eve Wedding

A good client of mine Michelle came in last week for a hair appointment, and I mentioned a few posts ago that she also made me this cute hat to die for! She also told me she was getting married on Halloween! And so she invited me to attend and would love if I did her hair and makeup, of course I wouldnt miss that since she is a good friend and client! :)

I was sooooo happy to be apart of her day today! I did her hair and makeup and also helped to take pictures at the ceremony for her.

She had an "anything goes" theme to her wedding, which leaned more towards a gothic theme. She made her own dress, bouquet and hat to go with it. Her family members and her new family also dressed up to celebrate this occasion!

It was a nice ceremony with intimate friends and family in a park nearby that has a beauitful Japanese inspired Garden. Minutes before we all arrived at the park, there had in fact been another wedding ceremony taking place! So, there are many more couples tying the knot on Halloween!

Here are just a few pics I managed to take in between of taking video and pictures for her and her husband, James!

( I wasnt dressed up like I had planned, I had left my costume at home in a mad dash to finish errands before doing her hair and makeup) hahaha

It was so heartwarming to see Michelle and James exchange vows, the energy in the air was so loving and I even teared up when they said their "I do's". I am so happy for them to start their lives together as husband and wife and I congratulate them on their wedding!

You don't marry someone you can live with - you marry the person who you cannot live without.

Gothic Bride Makeup and More

July has kicked off to a great start! I have really focused on my craft of hair and makeup. I got the chance to model for a friend of mine I attend Paul Mitchell with, named Rock Mims, for her makeup portfolio. The name of this theme was Emo Bride/Gothic inspired look. I had so much fun, check out some of the photos below:

This is my Favorite one!

I loved being apart of this! A few of my friends were her model as well, including Taylor whom I cut her fabulous Hot Summer haircut...see my before and after pics here.

Here are a few photos of her makeup...and Rock styled out that hair..it is sooooo fierce!

Her look was "India" Inspired

And since I am talking about makeup, I had my own makeup sessions with two of my models today in preparation for my photoshoots coming up in the next few weeks! I am editing them now, so I will load them in the next post!

Hope this inspires all you makeup artists to start working on your portfolio or add to yours!
