The bride's own session with a single hair and makeup artist for wedding day service in Santa Cruz, California: both services delivered together in one unhurried block, on location at the getting ready spot.
Lashes are included on the makeup side, and a short hair discount is applied on the hair side where the styling takes less time. It is built for brides who want their wedding hair and makeup as one coordinated portrait session rather than two separate appointments to juggle.
One block instead of two appointments
Roughly three hours of on location time covers arrival, setup, makeup, hair, veil and accessory placement, and finishing photographs with the bride. Booked as two separate services, the same work
The bride's own session with a single hair and makeup artist for wedding day service in Santa Cruz, California: both services delivered together in one unhurried block, on location at the getting ready spot.
Lashes are included on the makeup side, and a short hair discount is applied on the hair side where the styling takes less time. It is built for brides who want their wedding hair and makeup as one coordinated portrait session rather than two separate appointments to juggle.
One block instead of two appointments
Roughly three hours of on location time covers arrival, setup, makeup, hair, veil and accessory placement, and finishing photographs with the bride. Booked as two separate services, the same work usually costs you more of the morning than that, because each appointment carries its own arrival, its own setup and its own transition. Held as one block, the artist can move between the two without resetting.
The consultation that opens the session
The session starts quietly, with a conversation about direction. Soft natural makeup with Hollywood waves wedding hair. Classic bridal glam with a sleek French twist. A fashion editorial finish with a romantic half up wedding hair shape. Or any blend of those, which is what most brides actually land on. The point of doing this in the chair, on the day, is that the direction gets checked against the dress in the room and the light coming through the window rather than against a saved photograph.
Makeup first, then hair
Makeup comes first: professional skin prep, brow shaping where it is wanted, full coverage event makeup tuned to the lighting the day will actually be shot in, and lashes placed by hand rather than as a strip. Hair follows. Texture, density and length are worked with rather than fought, using hot tools, finishing products and pin work, with veil and headpiece placement handled as part of the styling rather than left for someone to attempt later.
Built to survive the day
The makeup uses long wear foundations and finishing powders that behave under high definition capture, matched across skin tones. The wedding hair stylist work is finished with grip set sprays and reinforced pinning. The standard is not the moment you stand up from the chair; it is the first kiss, the photographs at gold hour, the first dance and the send off at the end of the night.
What stays with you afterwards
A touch up pouch and an emergency kit pouch are left with the bride for the rest of the day: hidden bobby pins, transparent elastics, and lip color set to hold through tears, toasts and first dances. It means a strand that comes loose during photographs can be re pinned by anyone standing nearby.
Accessories, heirlooms and extensions
A flower crown, a hairpiece, a fascinator, a comb, a headband or an inherited piece from a grandmother can be built into the final style. Extensions the bride supplies can be integrated as well. The look is assembled around what is actually in the room and what the bride has actually chosen, rather than around a single signature template applied to everyone.
Photographed from every angle
The portfolio behind this work crosses bridal portraits, fashion editorial, lifestyle, advertising print and senior photography, and that shows in how the look is constructed: as a featured shot from the front, the side and the back. The back of the head is treated with the same attention as the front, because for most of the ceremony that is the view every camera and every guest has.
Trials, lead time and holding the date
A trial gives room to test and adjust without the pressure of a wedding morning clock. Recommended lead time is three to six months out from the wedding date. Travel inside the home service radius is included in the booking, as are setup and tear down at the getting ready location, so the quoted figure covers the artist arriving, working and clearing the room.
Booking terms for this service
Bookings are reserved with a non refundable deposit, and the remaining balance is due on the event date. Final headcount and look preferences are confirmed at least fourteen days before the event date so the schedule and the product palette are prepared. Rescheduling requests within fourteen days of the wedding date are subject to availability and may incur a rebooking fee. Touch ups during the event window are available on request and are quoted separately from the base booking. Service is delivered on location within the artist's regular service radius, and longer travel may carry an additional fee that is quoted up front. The work area should be a clean, well lit space, ideally near a power outlet, and should not be in active use by photographers or florists at the time of arrival. Trial appointments are recommended and are booked as a separate session from the wedding day service. The team works in a sanitized, single use product workflow, and allergies and sensitivities should be flagged at booking so suitable products are selected.
