How We Met

Maggie was referred to me by a previous bride and we hit it off immediately. She is THE funniest bride I have ever worked with to this day. Her beauty, brains, and humor are what solidified my willingness to do hair and makeup for her and her bridal party at The Wynden in Houston, Texas.

Since her wedding, Maggie and I have continued to keep in touch, and have even come back to get her hair and makeup done for her maternity photos.

The wedding day

The wedding day was a bit interesting since we had to do hair and makeup in two separate areas due to COVID and social distancing but we made it work! Since Maggie opted to have all of her wedding party photos done before the ceremony, we were on a tight timeline. Looking back, I’m glad she did have photos taken before her ceremony because it started to rain and photos were being taken outside.

I must say, her mom and mother-in-law were so nice and wonderful to work with. One of the best two moms I’ve ever worked with (seriously). We all love them!
