We had a blast working with Jody and Jeannie and the girls from Details, Details on Jody’s wedding at Pelican Hill in Newport Coast.  Girls, if you are still looking for a venue…this one is amazing!! They have a great bridal suite that’s like a mini salon and, of course the grounds and ballroom are amazing.  The wedding was photographed by Hoffmann Photography, and he was kind enough to send us some images to share:

The beautiful bride!

I love this shot of the back of her hair…we did add extensions for extra length and volume…love it!

Marilyn hard at work on the adorable flower girl!

A close up of Jody’s make-up…I love the drama of the dark liner with her light hair color…it really helps her eyes to pop!

Me, hard at work…loving it!

Jody, thank you so much for inviting us to be a part of your wedding day!! It was a blast and you girls look amazing

Susan got married in Lake Arrowhead this past August at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa.  I met Susan through Kristen, one of my brides from the month before (She’s pictured far right in the photo with the bridesmaids).  They were in each other’s weddings, so it was great to be able to work with them both twice!! Susan’s photographer Sarah K. Chen  did a phenomenal job, as you can see below…

Susan has AMAZINGLY clear skin, so we barely used any foundation…that is pretty rare! She wanted a fresh, natural look with emphaisis on the eyes and lashes.  She is a huge fan on Revitalash…those lashes are all hers baby!! I know, totally unfair…but she claims it’s from the  Revitalash.  Susan wanted soft, wavy texture in her hair that rolled back in twists from her face…I think it really suited her overall look and the feel of the venue.  Mandi came along and did hair for the bridesmaids

Carmen was so kind to send us some of the great photos taken by Film Vitel.  Tessa and I did her and her bridesmaid’s make-up one morning in Pasadena and then headed over to the Make-up show down the street at the convention center…Perfect!!

Anyhow, Carmen was just beautiful…gorgeous skin and eyes and wanted something natural with an emphasis on the eyes.

For Carmen, I perfected her skin with MAC Strobe Cream and RCMA Foundation.  I used a deep plum blush and really focused on highlighing the high points of her face for dimension.  I used a lighter golden brown on her lids with a black liner to make her eyes pop.  The girls did their own hair   Carmen’s favorite lipliner is Chesnut from MAC (A definite must-have for darker skin tones!), so we used that and filled it in with a bit of nude gloss.

I like how dreamy these shots are with the veil…

Esther and her husband met on a car website of some sort (I think they have the same kind of car).  Anyhow, when they decided to get married, their mutual friend and person that runs the car website offered to come out from Florida to shoot their wedding.  So cool! Anyhow, the photographer’s name is Tony Schreiber and he did such a great job!

Gettin’ ready….

The finished look…

The happy bride!

Don’t they look great!?

I LOVE her flowers!!!

Thanks Esther! We are so happy to be a part of your wedding

I just got some great pictures  and a sweet note from one of my brides last year…where does the time go?

“Hey Sherry,

 A friend was asking for wedding vendor recommendations which led me back to your website and beautiful photos.  You did such an awesome hair and makeup job for me and I wanted to thank you again.  I also can’t remember if I sent you any of my pro pics.  I’ve attached my favorite shot of the makeup you did.

 Here’s a link to a LOT of photos in case you want to browse.  Thank you again for making me look so good!”

Jennifer was blessed with naturally curly hair (one of my favorites!), so I used Tigi Bedhead Spoil Me on her hair prior to styling.  It’s great for defrizzing curly hair and giving it instant shine.  Then, I used a small iron to define some of her curls so there was a mixture of natural and more polished curls.  To finish the look, I just pinned a few sections out of her face for a soft, half-up look.

Jennifer wanted soft make-up, so I just perfected her skin with a bit of foundation and defined her eyes with a bit of liner and lashes…the look was completed with a rosy glow on the cheeks and lips.

I love how shiny and polished her curls look and the soft tendrils falling around her face.

Jennifer’s sister, Amy is also gifted in the hair department, so I had fun doing a coordinating style on her.

Here is Jennifer’s favorite make-up shot…how gorgeous are her eyes?!

The happy bride…

Thank you, Jennifer for sending these photos! What great memories
