Rustic Wedding @Ojai Valley Inn + Mindy Weiss Events

bridal hair with braid and loose waves







































This is one of my top weddings for 2011! I met the bride, Kristen, when she was a bridesmaid in her to-be sister in-law's wedding in 2010. I love doing hair for blonde because their hair has such great texture. For her role as a bridesmaid, I gave Kristen an up-do with a braid. When it came time for her own wedding a year later, she told me everyone raved about her hair then. I was her favorite hair style! It was an easy decision to add a similar braid to her bridal hair style. Looks amazing, right?!

There is Christina, the earlier bride, 2nd to the bride's left below! Such a beauty. Kristen's bridesmaids were family and friends. All equally fun, beautiful, and their varying looks gave me, Samantha and Kate opportunities to try different makeup and hair styles.

Kristen is a girl with STYLE! As you can see from her exquisite gown, and flowers, she has impeccable taste. It's no surprise that she hired Beverly Hills celebrity event designer, Mindy Weiss. Mindy is one of the top event planners and lifestyle experts in the country. I had the opportunity to hang with her that day and I can tell you she is supremely sweet and funny! Very down to earth and committed to her twitter fans! On Mindy's blog, you can see more pictures by the elegant & talented Joy Marie.

Bridal Beauty @ Disney Concert Hall

check out these Jimmy's!!


I had the pleasure of meeting my bride, Maria, on Wednesday Aug 31st for her makeup trial...and on the following Saturday we did her wedding makeup!

Maria is a beautiful woman and knew exactly what colors complemented her fair skin and blonde hair, so we wasted no time discussing all her options. She had a beautiful palette of metallics, bronze, and copper. I used NARS eye shadows, Makeup Forever HD Foundation, and Jane Iredale powder to set.
I've never had a bride so keen on what she wanted and easy to work with!

We got ready at the Standard Hotel in dtLA, close to her Disney Concert Hall ceremony site. She had a fabulous hair team doing perfect up-dos while I took care of the makeup!
