Find me on Facebook! Rate me!

I know already did this but I just discovered this little genius design for getting Fans so I wanted to use it. I can't seem to be able to place it on any of the wedding websites like WeddingWire.com, ProjectWedding.com or BridalFever.com.
I would LOVE it if you are a current or past client and would go these sites to place a review. It would help me a lot for my standing on the sites, which place you based on the number of reviews, but it also is helpful for me to get feedback from you. Reviews can also be done on the Facebook page.
Thanks!!

The Cover Look: Ines Del Mar Destination Weddings







On a beautiful winter day I drove up the coast to Montesito, CA to meet a 7am call-time. Just the previous week I was contacted by Ines Del Mar Magazine and asked to participate in a bridal shoot for the mag's upcoming Issue 6. They wanted the best, so they hired famed photographer Elizabeth Messina to create and capture the romance of a bride-to-be. And what would such an ingenue wear? But Kristey Kelley Couture, of course. The location was the private home of a friend of Elizabeth's.
Makeup and hair styling commenced immediately after Starbucks consumption and a discussion of the type of ethereal beauty we were aiming for. The model's hair was curled with Conair velvet hot rollers, then I perfected the "imperfect" look by twisting the hair around a medium-sized Marcel curling iron. Although she had a beautiful head of hair, we wanted the extra touch: I added a set of long hair extensions (clip-on) to add more length and volume. The final step was brushing and combing through the curls to give a "slept in" look. It was held in place with my favorite hair product: hairspray.
I used a cream-based mineral makeup foundation from Salon Carabella to create a natural and flawless canvas.
I am sharing only a few pages of this issue because I urge you to go out and buy it. It is a beautifully organized and classy publication. I am proud to have chosen to be the makeup and hair stylist for this shoot. The best part? My first cover!!
