Are you considering having a hair and makeup specialist for your wedding day? Well, you're thinking in the right direction. Only a wedding specialist will know all the details of how to make you look terrific in person, photograph well, and last throughout the affair.

Even though you may do your makeup very beautifully on a day to day basis, you must be aware that what you see in person is not what you'll see on film. The camera interprets colors differently, so makeup colors must be selected with the knowledge of how it will ultimately appear in a photograph. Shadows must fall in their proper places, and fade in a graceful manner in sync with the natural underlying colors of the skin. One odd color or reflection in the wrong place can ruin the look of every photograph. Classic styling is a must . . . trends in hair and makeup will quickly become dated. Care must be taken to insure that hairstyles stay up and headpieces stay in place.
