“It’s amazing what unbridled joy and a hair and make-up professional can do!” This was my answer to every “you look so beautiful” on my wedding day. They truly went hand in hand. I... highly recommend Angela Tam and her team.
I was not looking forward to wedding pictures – I’m not photogenic, my hair never stays put (no matter how much hairspray is applied), and few can apply make-up in a way that is flattering and boosts my confidence. So, I waited as long as possible to find an HMUA, nearly convinced it was an impossible quest. But from my very first query, Angela was kind, patient, responsive, and knew just what questions to ask.
On Wedding Day, they were true partners. I immediately felt calm, confident, and heard. They didn’t try to sell us anything and listened closely to each member of my I Do Crew: what we wanted, what we were concerned with, what had worked in the past, what hadn’t worked, etc. And integrated it all beautifully – even amidst the chaos and shenanigans our personalities threw at them. We were quite a rowdy bunch, and they rolled with the punches and fit in beautifully. Not only did they finish early after juggling schedule changes, they did so after squeezing in a last-minute addition (did I mention their flexibility?)!
Our hair and make-up complemented each of us beautifully and lasted the whole day. Even though I forgot to use the touch-up kit at my outdoor July wedding, I LOOKED WONDERFUL (as did the others) throughout the night! It all stuck.
Thank you, Angela and Caitlin. You made the impossible possible: I felt truly beautiful on my wedding day and love seeing the pictures! You absolutely nailed it, and I’d hire you again in a heartbeat.
