I met Brooke a few years ago while assisting another wedding artist. I instantly loved her and her work. She truly is a professional in all sense of the word. The hairstyles are amazing, her patient and gracious nature make her a pleasure to work with. Here is a sneak peek into Brooke... I went to Cosmetology School during high school because my mom said I should! I've been doing hair since I was 17 and can't imagine doing anything else! All of my clients, brides and non-br

I met Cindy at a photoshoot in 2012.. I knew who she was and we had become friends on facebook. At this time.. she was still doing hair and makeup and she rocked!! We got to talking.. then ended up having a little lunch date at Primanti's.. We had a lot in common and instantly became friends. Over time.. she got more and more into being behind the camera and LOVED it. She rocks whatever shoot she does.. and I am so glad to call her my FRIEND! When and how did you start out in

It is not common in our area to have many specialized boutiques that cater towards wedding gowns. Enter - Glitter and Grit. I first heard about this boutique from my neighbor (she is friends with the owner), then I heard about it from another makeup artist friend, and then I heard about it from a photographer friend. I apparently have many friends who are friends with Erin, the owner, but I have YET to meet her! Such a small world.. and I am totally excited to share her and h

(Refer to the post above about on location hair on the day of your wedding) Not only is Shari super talented.. she is works quickly but efficiently, and always creates the vision each girl describes. I am happy to

I first found out about Nails by Dallas from a Friend, client and bride of mine from 2013. Her naisl looked amazing on her wedding day and I had to know who did them. For almost a year now I have been getting my nails done by a girl named Dallas.. or Kate if Dallas can't take me and in this past year I have loved every gel manicure I have received. They last about 2 to 3 weeks with me and only because my nails grow so fast that I need to get them redone. I feel as a makeup ar
