Here’s a detail that made this day unforgettable: their ceremony was conducted in ASL.

With just 36 of their closest loved ones, the couple created an intimate celebration centered on meaning and connection. Mark and Christopher wrote their own vows, delivered in ASL, with friends interpreting for their hearing guests. The couple's choice to lead with ASL speaks to something they discovered together: sign language opened up a channel of communication and expression that felt "beautifully rich, nuanced, and poetic."

I had the pleasure of traveling into Oaxaca, Mexico from Los Angeles to be there and style hair and makeup for the bride and her bridal party/family for the wedding weekend. We did a bold eye makeup look, paired with a skin-forward natural airbrush foundation and glow. Hair was styled slicked back and snatched in a mid ponytail hairstyle. For the wedding day look, I created a similar makeup look. Minimal, chic, glowing skin with focus on the eyes. We waved her hair in a brushed together curl that really gave such a “wow” factor. The real treat of the hairstyle was individually placed pearls - organically added throughout the hair. A deep rooted tradition of Oaxaca weddings is the Calenda, a vibrant street parade with brass bands, fireworks, dancing, giant puppets, and of course mezcal.

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!!!
