Brides Hair and Makeup Face by Joy

I never got the chance to share with you the Rice/Gardner Wedding that we attended BEFORE Easter Break! What a WONDERFUL location and Bridal party!!
There are more photos to come, but I had to share the teasers I got from the Bride! We were at the BEAUTIFUL WINTERHAM Plantation in Amelia! I met Angel Morton, photographer, as you see a sneak peak of some photos below of hers! She is GREAT! Can't wait to get some more stunners!!  It was an all around GREAT time!

This past weekend I had a GREAT time working with a Bride to be on her Bridal Portraits(can't show you those just yet!), a studio consult and a pageantry photography session with Ed Ip. I am planning to finish up this week with Bridalicious blogs and combine all segments into one big blog next week! I am on the scout for this weeks Bridal Beauty on a Budget as well!
Don't forget that I am available during the week for your Bridal Portrait sessions and Engagement photo sessions!  Email me for pricing details!! I am gonna make you look FABULOUS DARLING! :) Happy Monday!

This week has been insane! i have been preparing to travel to Charlotte for a full blown, all out, no holds bared beauty weekend! This weekend, once a year, I direct the North and South Carolina International Pageant! Its a work in progress all year with the culmination of it all this weekend! I will be posting some fun event photos and you might catch me in action! B fore I leave for the weekend I wanted to give you a quick Bridal Beauty on a Budget for the week. I have been holding onto this all week now! Its a rare find, and I am thriiled.
No coupon needed for this one. Walgreens is offering in the flyer until Sunday 50% off Broadway Press on Nails and Kiss Eyelashes. I love these sales because these items are a GREAT way to save money and time! I will talk about the nails coming up. But I keep a few sets of these nails in my closet and of course the eyelashes for upcoming events and more. Its a huge money saver and they look fantastic on.
I will talk a bit more about them in my upcoming Bridalicious! Happy Shopping!!

I can not help but share and reflect back with you this week on my days as Mrs. Virginia-America from 2004!
 WHY? you ask? Well, this week my friend Jennifer is getting ready to complete at the Mrs. Virginia America pageant and I am so excited for her! Of course, I am her hired "BEAUTY GUN" for hair and makeup!! :) I thought it would be a little fun to show you my {horrible} photo from the Mrs. Virginia America web site. LOL!!!!!!!  In those days.....2004, I actually printed photos and really did not keep them on removable disk drives and such like I do now. PLUS, what was a blog back then? Anyway, I don't have a ton of photos floating around from my Mrs. VA America days. So this is whatcha gonna get!
I will be doing hair and makeup at the VA America Pageant Friday and Saturday for Interviews and Stage and I cant wait to show you some photos!! So be sure to check back this weekend!!

So I am super duper excited that my new blog is just around the corner! I am getting a bit of a "beauty" blog face lift! So I can bring you MORE faces, hair, and beauty all together! FOLLOW me as I bring you WEDDINGS and all things beauty! LOTS of favorite places, consultations AND beauty savings to talk about. Lots of beautiful brides and weddings to attend!
