{ Yvonne & Leon | Museum of Arts Long Beach}

Yvonne & Leon finally tied the knot at the Museum of Arts at Long Beach! This cute couple flew all the way from New York to have an intimate outdoor wedding in California. Yvonne found us online and we started our communication process all via emails. She trusted us enough to book our team months before the wedding and we did not get to do the trial session until few days before the big day! This lovely bride is indeed a natural beauty already but she really loves the popular Korean makeup and hair trends. Therefore, we created a clean bridal makeup look for her that focus on glowing complexion, natural eyes, soft blushed cheeks, and gradient lips! Pair with a romantic braided updo, we created the perfect look for the already beautiful bride! Check out all the beautiful photos that show off their romantic wedding!

Tania & Kevin finally tied the knot! Their beautiful celebration took place in The Mountain Mermaid in Topanga, California. This is a historic 1930s architectural gem that makes it an ideal wedding venue for this lovely couple’s romantic rustic themed wedding. There is just so much creative DIY details into the wedding ranging from the invitations, the signage throughout the wedding, sweet station, table setting, and etc. We were simply in love! But of course, speaking of our favorite part of the wedding? We got to say our beautiful bride Tania!!! She picked the perfect makeup and hairstyle for the big day and everything was just perfect. Tania is a sweet, simple girl. Makeup we did for her was just naturally enhanced and hairdo we kept it loose and soft with tons of textures. It was just a perfect fit for this laid-back, rustic, and oh-so-happy wedding! It was an absolute honor to be a part of this beautiful couple’s wedding!

{Ruben & Alexandra | SoCal Flying Club Los Angeles Wedding}

An intimate gathering of loved ones sounds like the perfect setting to say “I do.” Yesterday I had the honor to be part of a very special wedding and to create the perfect bridal look for the beautiful bride! Congrats to Alex & Ruben who finally tie the knot in Los Angeles after 3 and an half years of long distance relationship. These two lovebirds decided to have a small and intimate wedding with only the closest friends and family. Ruben is a pilot, which is why we had the pleasure of having their civil ceremony at the SoCal Flying Club. What an unique venue to have a ceremony! Also I got to mention how madly in love I am with the beautiful bride’s 1970s vintage Jessica McClintock lace gown. To keep everything simple yet so elegant, we created a twisted tuck in up-do with floral headband to match this look. The couple looked so captivatingly in love and I felt so incredibly happy for them!
