A. I’ve been in the music world until my mid 20s, I played piano and went to Berklee College of Music focusing on the business side of the industry and then decided to shift my career 2 years into moving to LA. I decided to attended Make Up Designory in Burbank, specializing in fashion and beauty.

Q. What is your favorite part of a wedding day?
A. My favorite part is at the end of each look when I give the clients a mirror to see the final picture and seeing how happy/confident they feel!
“I cannot recommend Emily Lynn & Co highly enough! I had the pleasure of working with Sooyon (makeup) and Andy (hair) for my wedding, and they were nothing short of phenomenal. Their talent, professionalism, and warmth made the entire experience seamless for myself and my bridal party. Sooyon is incredibly skilled. She listened to what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and executed everything flawlessly. The most important thing to me was for my natural skin and features to shine, and she truly made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. I wish I could’ve kept my makeup on forever! Andy did an incredible job with my bridal hair, helping me nail down my vision and executing perfectly. He also did a fantastic job on the updo and half updo for my bridal party. Everyone was raving about Sooyon and Andy’s work!”
