Feature Wedding: Katie and Matt: Baltimore Makeup & Hair

Katie and Matt's wedding was a dream come true on a gorgeous day in May.  It was a bit of a family tradition to get married on the same day as Preakness and Katie followed in the tradition.  The ceremony was at the chapel at Goucher College and the reception was at a beautiful farm in Baltimore county where Katie grew up.  This group of women were such a delight and Kelley and I enjoyed every minute of this special "getting ready" time.  All of the photos were taken by Dennis Drenner and he captured some very special moments.







Congratulations Katie and Matt!

Get your Tan On!!!!!



I am so excited to announce that we are now offering airbrush tanning!!!!  Some of you may be thinking, "I don't know about a spray tan, I don't want to look orange."  Have no fear, this airbrush tanning is AH- Mazing.  I had seen many brides sit in my chair with a beautiful even tan and when I asked them about it they said it was actually airbrush, which definitely peeked my interest.  So when it came time for me to be a bridesmaid in my sister-in-laws wedding (which was at the end of December) I decided to give it a try.  HUGE FAN!  This is a picture of the tan me below......


Why spend hours of your time and cause damage to your skin when you can get a safe gorgeous golden glow in just minutes. Whether you are extremely fair or dark olive, the airbrush tanning is a healthy and easy way for you to have a beautiful and natural sun-kissed look. To make it even easier, we travel to you!


A beautiful, sun kissed complexion is the #1 fashion accessory of all time and health/medical professionals agree a faux tan is the only safe alternative. We offer a special organic product called Vani-T. Vani-T is a totally unique 100% natural and organic based spa formulas without artificial fragrances, preservatives or other harsh chemicals which can irritate the skin. Vani-T's professional tanning range is loved and requested by A-list celebrities, beauty editors and TV shows around the world for it's famous just-off-the-beach glow.

Music Inspiration: First Dance

I was just inspired by the blog post I read from Evan Reitmeyer from My Deejay (best DJ ever) to update my blog playlist.  I have heard from so many brides that they love my playlist on this here blog and that they listen to it all the time.  I kept my favorites and then added a few of Evan's first dance recommendations.  I also added the song my husband and I danced to for our first dance at our wedding ("Heaven" by DJ Sammy).  Definitely check out Evan's article here if you are still deciding on your first dance or have any other DJ needs.  And since every blog post is better with some photos...here are some of my favorite first dance photos of our clients!

Feature Wedding: Casey and Matt: Part 1


Casey and Matt were married in March at Celebrations on the Bay and I had showed one photo from the wedding that was in the Washington Post article but I finally have some more wedding photos to share!  A really high percentage of brides that we work with have met their husbands on-line (match.com, e-harmony, j-date) but Casey and Matt were my first clients who met on face book.  They are such a cute couple and Casey was an absolute joy to work with.  Kelley and I worked on Casey, her family and the bridal party and Russell from Freed Photography got tons of getting ready photos.

Being Beautiful

One of my favorite quotes from one of the most beautiful women ever.......
"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe that loving is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." -Audrey Hepburn
