Providing bridal hair and makeup services for this destination wedding in Playa Del Carmen/Riviera Maya was one of the highlights of my year! I flew from Los Angeles to Cancun, Mexico then drove about an hour south to beautiful Riviera Maya. The entire wedding weekend of events were held at Banyan Tree Mayakoba. One of the most uniquely serene and breathtaking resorts and venues I’ve ever been to.

Fun and cliche drive-thru wedding in Vegas! The ceremony was officiated by Elvis at The Little White Wedding Chapel. It was a private, family-only ceremony, and of course, the afternoon included photos of the newlyweds in front of the iconic Las Vegas sign. The after party planned for all family and friends Monday evening was at Ellis Island Karaoke Bar - outrageous outfits and karaoke required!

A destination wedding WEEKEND in Zihuatanejo, Mexico… sounds like a complete dream, right?!! Sierra and Christopher made this their reality, with the help of their destination wedding planner, Jennifer Jaimes. The couple chose Casa Angelina, a villa in the Zihuatanejo Bay, as their breathtaking venue. Celina, from our team, flew out from LA for hair and makeup and created the most stunning looks for Sierra and her bridal party during the weekend. From a fun and colorful welcome party look to the wedding day modern and chic style, every detail was executed and fit together beautifully. Amanda Gillian, the couple’s photographer, also flew in from LA to capture the wedding weekend and the film shots are just always a fave!!!

The wedding ceremony took place on the front porch patio of their airbnb in the hills of Carmel Valley, and what a gorgeous backdrop that was!!! With their photographer, the couple drove down the scenic coast of Highway 1 for portraits and photos through Big Sur. The dreamiest!

We definitely do a LOT of California destination weddings, but one area that I had never worked in or got to explore was Death Valley National Park. When our bride, Yana, emailed us about her destination elopement at Death Valley, I was immediately on board for the adventure!!! The couple chose to have their ceremony inside the park at Zabriskie Point, a badlands viewpoint where you can see for miles. Absolutely epic and breathtaking.

This dreamy, intimate elopement on the coast of Big Sur is what boho wedding DREAMS are made of!!! When this bride from Texas emailed me about her destination elopement, I could not have been more excited to travel back for work! Their photos + video so beautifully capture that “adventure couple” vibe.
