On Location Beauty Blog

I have had so many brides get married at La Venta Inn, but have never had the opportunity to actually see the venue until Betty and Matt’s wedding. Betty hired me to not only do the hair and make-up at the hotel, but to stay for touch-ups, so I got to use the adorable bridal cottage at La Venta. It is a very beautiful venue…I highly recommend it!

Betty was the most radiant bride I think I’ve ever worked with…She is glowing from the inside out and her skin is to die for!! For Betty, I played up her eyes with individual lashes and definitely used a pop of color on her cheeks.  I barely had to use any foundation or powder.  Betty wanted a hair style that could be let down for the reception, so we decided to do an up-do that could transform into a chic ponytail at the reception.  I was thrilled with the results

Cat and Adi from Next Exit did the photos…love them! Check out their blog to see the rest!

I absolutely love the Mission Inn….it has beautiful architecture, a gorgeous spa, and amazing food (Love Duane’s restaurant and the hotel’s Sunday brunch!!).  It is always a pleasure to do work for the hotel.  Recently, we did a shoot to promote weddings…If I could get married all over again, I think the Mission Inn would be my top choice

Casey and Jack were amazing models to work with. I’ve worked with Casey for years…she is such a pro in front of the camera and a lovely person off camera.  Love her! Jack was a modern day Prince Charming…such a gentleman!

For Casey’s look, we did soft curls with a center part for a romantic look.  We added some extensions for fullness as well.  For her make-up, we did a strong eye with thick black liner top and bottom and full strip lashes.  We used many coats of YSL mascara to top off the look (Casey’s favorite!!).  Her lips were Oak lip pencil and C-Thru lipglass from MAC.

I did some touch-ups on Jack as well…a little powder, brow gel, and lip balm

The photos were taken by Peter Cooper.  Check out his site!! I love how the photographs turned out!!  :) He did a fantastic job!
