Julia is a classic beauty! With her a-m-a-z-i-n-g vintage themed gown, naturally elegant make-up and bright red lipstick, she was nothing short of a knock-out!! Surrounded by her mom and her friends (who seriously should have had a stand-up comic routine) I had a great time getting these ladies ready! Planning by: Four Winds Weddings [...]
The time I spent with Jenna and her family getting everyone ready was a beautiful day for me. There's no way a person could spend 7 hours in a room full of so much love and not walk away feeling all warm fuzzy inside! With Frank Sinatra and other nostalgic tunes from the 40's and 50's playing [...]
Just finished up my last wedding of the 2015 season. This season has been such a blessing as I've seen my business grow leaps and bounds and have received so much wonderful feedback from my lovely brides! It was my best season yet in Costa Rica, working with 58 wonderful brides! After a whirlwind 8 months, [...]

Sometimes less is more. Rachel & Justin's small wedding at Casa Cook in Tamarindo Beach was a very intimate affair, with lots of smiles and laughing. Rachel is a natural beauty who normally wears minimal make-up. Her vintage style gown went perfectly with the natural make-up she chose, accentuating her great skin and beautiful eyes. Wedding [...]
One of the great perks of my job is that I get to travel all over this gorgeous country and call it "work". Most of the weddings I do are at the beach, so when I got the reservation to do Allison's make-up up near Volcan Poas, I was more than excited because this is [...]

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, [...]
Beautiful beach, beautiful weather and knock-out bride! Ethan and Seleah had their wedding in Tamarindo at Capitan Suizo, surrounded by friends, family and their daughters (the cutest little things you've ever seen!). Seleah's styling was perfect for a beach wedding. Fitted mermaid dress, long flowing loose curls, soft glowy make-up complete with a floral crown. [...]
Congratulations to Lisa & Jason who had a great wedding at the Diria Hotel in Tamarindo. Lisa was so much fun to work with for her wedding. As you can see from the photos, there was nothing but smiles alllll day long. Randy from Weddings Costa Rica planned and executed an amazing celebration for these [...]
We had quite a day getting Teresa and her bridesmaids ready for the wedding! Soon after our arrival at Bahia del Sol -- in typical Costa Rica fashion -- out went the power. After waiting around a bit in hopes it would come back on, we really needed to get the ball rolling in order [...]
