For many brides, photography is the most important vendor because the photos are what is going to last when the flowers die, the food is eaten, and the amazing night is over. But who is in those photos?? That, of course, is a beautiful bride and her new hubby!
And in those photos, a beautiful bride has been done up for her big day. So in my eyes, the hair and makeup that will appear in those photos is equally as important so you can feel your best! No, I am not saying you need to look like a different person (that is actually the opposite of what I think!), but your hair and makeup are what brings out and compliments your natural beauty on your wedding day, just like your gorgeous gown!
So this week we have a hair and makeup series that will not only show you how it all works, but we have a fabulous hair & makeup on-location and bridal salon wedding company and a real bride who will be giving us a behind the scenes look at the entire process! Now this is an Overwhelmed Bride first!! :)
Over the next five days, you will get some tips and tricks on skin, beauty, and the best hairstyles for your wedding day, you will better understand how the trial process works so you are comfortable when that time comes for you, and you will learn more about what to look for in your wedding day hair and makeup artist to ensure those photos turn out fabulous!
And before we get started, here is a quick sneak peek :)

The Bride, Kelsey
A huge thank you to our beautiful bride, Kelsey, who allowed us to film and photograph this entire process! We wanted to give you a real live behind the scenes look, and she allowed that to happen!
Thank you Kelsey! We cannot wait for your wedding this coming October :)

Bleudog Fotography
This is Shawna, owner and photographer of Bleudog Fotography and I had the great pleasure of working with her for the first time on this shoot!
All of the stunning photos you see throughout this series are her work and I have a few projects coming up with her again very soon that I cannot wait to share with all of you!
AfterDark Media
I have had the pleasure of working with AfterDark Media not only for my wedding day, but for this amazing hair and makeup series! Johnny was able to capture the whole process for you to see...there's nothing like a video to show you the experience firsthand!
I hope that this series is not only fun for you to watch, see, and read, but that is eases any worries or unknowns about what your hair and makeup trial will be like. Our goal is to guide you through the process of choosing your stylists, offer you tips and tricks along the way, make sure you are best prepared for your trial, and help you through all the way to your wedding day!
And as soon as Kelsey is married in October, we will definitely be showing you the final product :)
