Jessica and Mark {May 8, 2010}



Jessica called me one afternoon because she heard that I was
doing a hair and makeup reality show and she thought it would be a great opportunity to be on TV! She said 'You are only young once and get married once, so why not capture it on TV!" I loved how she saw everything as an opportunity and wanted to make the experience of getting married a fun one.
I was so excited to meet her and when I did, I was even more excited to be a part of her special day. She was so sweet and down to earth and oh so beautiful. She has this natural beauty that is so organic and raw. Her hair is very curly and she has the cutest freckles. When she sat in my chair, I knew that I didn't want to change her style and only wanted to bring out the natural beauty that she is.
With her hair, I smoothed out her natural curl and after several pieces of extensions I recurled it with my favorite GHD iron. With her makeup, I went pretty natural but I couldn't help myself by enhancing her beautiful green eyes with lots and lots of individual lashes. Since the couple was getting married outdoors, I thought this down to earth look suited her and the occasion perfectly.
The wedding was at a beautiful winery in Temecula. My boyfriend and I actually took the opportunity to make this a small getaway and go wine tasting and even a hot air balloon ride! It was a lovely weekend!
Jessica has come to see me twice for her "Trash the Dress" photos and video and her and I became friends. She has a beautiful soul and reminds me how blessed I am to meet people like her and be a part of their most special day. Thank you Jess, you remind me why I love what I do so much!
Stay tuned for her episode to air! I will keep you posted.
