Christy and her team are absolutely amazing. I had a 4:30 ceremony, and my three bridesmaids and I were all having hair and makeup. My mom was also having her hair blown out and my wife was having what is basically men's makeup.
Christy and Chelsea arrived exactly on time at 10 am and got on there way. They were so incredibly efficient and organized. My photographer even commented that she has never seen anything go this quickly. Even with my last minute add ons of my mom andfiance, I think they even finished early.
I was having a 20s theme and really only had a basic idea of what i wanted for the BMs hair, but Chelsea listened and came up with absolutely perfect hair styles. I also wanted period makeup for the girls and Christy did such a great job and gave them all an extremely bold red lip, and matched the color to each girl individually. I can't believe how beautiful they all looked. One of my bridesmaids even said that she liked her makeup better than she did at her own wedding.
As for myself, the hair and makeup was just phenomenal. I wanted a strong eye, but I also do not like heavy eye shadow. Also, while I wanted period makeup for the girls, I did not want it for myself. It looked amazing. I also changed the style of my hair from our previous hair and makeup trial and Chelsea did a fantastic job. I wore a birdcage veil, and Chelsea placed it perfectly to frame my face. It photographed beautifully, and was very easy to take out after the ceremony. My hair looked exactly the same when I removed it.
Everything lasted from 12:00 pm when they finished me, until midnight when I washed it all off. I also cannot stress the importance of having makeup that photographs well. All the pictures came out flawless. My photographer says she normally has to do a lot of editing, but none of our photos needed anything. The airbrush makeup was incredible. I got so many complements. Even my hair stylest, who I guess used to travel with a performer/singer to do her hair and makeup, commented on how fantastic the makeup was and how well it photographed.
I also asked Christy, last minute, (literally, as she was finishing up) to cover my port scar on my chest. I used to have cancer and now have a scar from the port that they put in. As my dress was strapless and plunging, I didn't want it to appear in photos. She quickly airbrushed it and you cannot see it in any of the photos. None of the makeup came off on my dress either. THAT STUFF STAYS PUT!
As to my Wife, she is very boyish and never wears makeup. However, she was a redhead when she was younger, so she still has those non-existent eye brows and lashes. She also is prone to breakouts. She wanted to photograph well and to even her skin tone. Christy did an amazing job. You couldn't even tell she had makeup on, but people commented on how great she looked. The airbrushing was so light, and Christy just added color to her lashes and brows, and some bronzer. She looked so good.
I would recommend them to anyone, no matter how much or how little you want. Your photos will be amazing, and you will look stunning.
PS get fake lashes. Christy has a lot of options, and they really photograph so beautifully and naturally.
Thank you so much ladies!
