I love the laughter, sometimes the tears, the clink of champagne flutes, and all the stories of friendship and love. 

I leave my workday physically tired, but my spirit and heart are always full!!

I love working with brides to help them find their I love working with brides to help them find their perfect look.  Beautiful Abigail’s main goal was to look elevated but super fresh and natural.  I think this soft romantic look was exactly “her”. 

I super appreciate the review left on Wedding Wire.  These words from those I’ve had the pleasure of working with really do mean a lot and help those interested in working with me to feel confident in hiring me.  If we’ve worked together and you’d like to leave a review, see the link in my highlights. 🤍. And thanks in advance!!! 🤗

If you were to spend any amount of time with Briea If you were to spend any amount of time with Brieanna @brienagatkin and Alexey you’d immediately realize that these two are crazy about each other!! It was a pleasure to spend time with Brieanna getting her ready to say goodbye”I Do” to her person. 🤍

My last wedding of the 2023-24 season with beautif My last wedding of the 2023-24 season with beautiful Rebecca.  I was surprised she’d booked a rainy season wedding, but then she told me she’s not wanting the wedding “on” the beach so it all made sense.  Rain or shine, she’s saying her I do’s in an intimate wedding of less than 20 guests.  Lots of laughs today and she gets extra points for the penis garland for our photo backdrop. ⚡️⚡️

My last weddings of the season are usually in August with a 2 months break until November when it all starts up again.  But this season I had weddings in September and this one in October. 🤷🏼‍♀️. And my next season starts Nov 10 and I’m booked nearly every weekend until the end of April 2025.  So no real break this time around.  But I’m so thrilled to be a part of all of these wonderful women’s special day!!! 🥂

I have many beautiful memories from this wedding d I have many beautiful memories from this wedding day.  I always love the conversations that I have with the women when they’re sitting in my chair as I doll them up. When I look at these photos and recall this wedding, the one thing that comes to mind is strength. 

Both Shanell & Jason are well accomplished on their own, but together they are powerful.  One thing that stands out to me is when I was doing Jason‘s mom‘s make up she told me she had never seen a woman have such an affect on her son. That he was absolutely smitten with Shanell. And not just for her beauty, but for her brains. That she had a levelheadedness about her that complemented his personality. Ying and yang.  And I heard similar comments from each of Shanell’s friends as well.  I love to hear these stories. Even though I am only a small participant in the beautiful weddings I take part in, I love to hear the back stories of how the couple met and the different perspectives from the friends/family. 

These stories about Shanell & Jason were stories of that “forever love.”🤍 Cheers to them and the beginning of this next chapter of their love story. 🥂

There are so many beautiful details from Norma & L There are so many beautiful details from Norma & Louis’s wedding - it was near impossible to choose only a few photos to share.  But first and foremost, there is the absolute love and adoration these two have for each other!! 🤍🤍. 

On top of that, her beautiful getting ready ensemble and incredible gown!  Her hair and make-up were a breeze because, well hello, she’s gorgeous!  And don’t even get me started on the disco balls at the ceremony/reception site. 🪩

Best wishes to these lovers - may you have a lifetime of love and happiness.

The thing that I love about working with the bride The thing that I love about working with the bridesmaids is hearing all the wonderful stories of friendship. And that’s what the getting ready part of the wedding day is about, celebrating all of life’s beautiful milestones together.

It was a pleasure to doll up this beautiful brides It was a pleasure to doll up this beautiful bridesmaid Kanisha this morning. 

As some people might know, I recently relocated from the coast where I’ve been for the past 16 years to San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. It was a big move and a little intimidating having faith that the doors for my career will continue to open locally and that I will continue to book weddings that I will be traveling back to the coast for.  This  move was really important for me, for my spirit and for my overall happiness in the life I’m living.  I learn more everyday that fear keeps us stuck.  That taking steps forward in faith is where the growth is and where the rewards are.

Today’s appointment was my first booking here in San Jose.  When Kanisha got in touch to book me it was just a nice little hug from the universe letting me know that no matter where I find myself, the right doors will open.

I can’t wait to see her pictures with her hair done and beautiful dress!

In the heart of Nosara’s jungle, Yvonne and Erik tied the knot at the amazing Finca Austria.
