Both Paula and Tuto are young doctors (interpreted "no time to barely even sleep"), so much of the planning and coordinating was done by her amazing mom, Lily. Paula, (again because she's a young doctor) doesn't usually devote lots of time to dolling herself up for work! So getting to meet her for her trial [...]
Even though it rained on and off the afternoon of their wedding (much later in the season than it normally would have!), that certainly didn't stop Teresa & Ben from celebrating their wedding with anything less than smiles and lots and lots of love! Photographer: Sylvia Guardia Planner: Mil Besos
I love the few hours I get to spend in the room with the bride getting her and her best girls ready. The mood is always charged with energy. Everyone's festive. They're laughing, dancing, exchanging memories and hugs, and of course, drinking champagne! Brooke and Drew had the most beautiful, playful chemistry between them, which really [...]
It was such a pleasure getting to know Sharon during the planning of her wedding. Ironically, she was was following me on Instagram under my jewelry boutique and hit me up one day and said "Hey, I think you're doing my wedding make-up!" Small world! I then got to meet her and Ernest late last year [...]
The best wedding day prep sessions are those spent in an ocean view hotel room, with a bride who is beautifully charming and surrounded by a group of her closest friends. They sip champagne, dance around the room, laugh, joke and celebrate the day! That's exactly the day we spent with Ashley. Ashley was kind [...]
I met with Helen the day before the wedding for a trial session, which I love doing because it gives the bride and I relaxed time to try on her look and work out any kinks ahead of the rushed wedding day prep session. Helen and Alex had a pre-wedding photo shoot scheduled right after our [...]
After having worked with Katja in her capacity as an event coordinator for Four Winds Weddings, it was a pleasure to have her ask me to do the make-up for her and William's nuptials. You'd never know it by looking at the photos, but as we were finishing up, the biggest, darkest, loudest thundering clouds I've seen [...]
Noelle, a stunning natural beauty, opted for soft make-up that enhanced "her" make-up. Another bride who let me know the make-up didn't budge even after hopping in the pool! No racoon eyes - yay!! Wedding Planner: FourNineTeen Weddings Hair: Victoria Alfaro This wedding was featured on the Brides Without Borders and La Bride website.
I'm not one to pimp products all that often, however, I recently got a chance to try a new foundation and it was so remarkable that I've gotta' share this. Dior Airflash Spray Foundation I normally use a combination of Bare Minerals, Benefit or whatever my client may bring that she loves to use. The [...]
I met with Catherine prior to the wedding for her trial session. I love doing trials, it's a great to get together with the bride prior to the wedding so we get a chance to work together in an unrushed atmosphere and really narrow in on the look that she wants. When wedding day rolled around, [...]
