I’m excited to share a few bridal photos from a wedding I had the opportunity to be the wedding makeup artist and hair stylist for that took place at the Belmond EL Encanto Hotel in Santa Barbara CA. If you have never been there, the Belmond Hotel in Santa Barbara is absolutely gorgeous. If you are going to have a wedding in Santa Barbara, I highly suggest you check it out.
This beautiful wedding was between my wonderful bride Liz and her husband to be Nick, and took place in November. As is rarely the case, I only had the chance to meet Liz on her big day, as she is from San Francisco and was not able to make it down to my Calabasas hair and makeup studio for a trial. I recommend all brides do a hair and makeup trial when possible, but in this instance my team and I just did day of hair and makeup service. Regardless of the trial, Liz looked absolutely stunning on her wedding day. As an artist, it always helps when the canvas your working on is flawless.
Besides Liz, my amazing makeup artist Dana and I did hair and makeup for her 2 bridesmaids and mom on the day of the wedding. These women were all such a sweet and funny bunch- amazing people whom we really enjoyed spending time with.
The day began a little stressful for my bride at first because it was raining all morning which was bumming her out because her ceremony was outside. However, we just kept thinking positive and talking about how it was going to go away and BAM- the sky cleared up about 15 mins before the ceremony and it turned out to be a truly beautiful day! The power of positive thinking.
Am blessed to have had the opportunity to be the makeup artist for Liz’s wedding, and am thankful for the time I got to spend with her. Wishing her and her new husband Nick nothing but the best in love and marriage.
Life is Beautiful,
