Editorial Hair for Bridal Workshop in Florence, Venice and Rome, Italy

I had an amazing time traveling to Italy with Shannon . What a fantastic oppurtunity to work with Yervant again, but this time in Italy.  I styled  hair on 10 models in only 3 hours and it was quite a task but "mission accomplished!"  As a KevinMurphy educator, I used  techniques I have learned to create these beautiful looks you see here. All Kevin Murphy products were used on this shoot. The workshop was videotaped and I look forward to sharing with you the "behind the scenes" of this wonderful opportunity. 

Audrey Hepburn Styled Demure Up-Do

I had a wonderful time with this gorgeous bride! She knew exactly what she wanted for her look and I loved that she had a bang! Often you don't see brides wear a bang so this was refreshing for me. It made it easy for Shannon to capture her look with her beautiful features!  Tiffany & Co. was the theme for this wedding and I think this look was perfect. Kevin Murphy's anti-gravity, bodybuilder and "new' shimmer shine completed this demure up-do. Very Audrey Hepburn, wouldn't you say?

Platinum Vintage Bridal Faux Bob

It was inspiring to do this platinum bridal hair with a vintage vibe for this recent shoot.  I used Kevin Murphy products anti-gravity, powder puff, session spray and the "Stitch Me Up" technique to create this faux bob. I also gave her color a brighter look with KM White Color Bug. White color bug is a hair color for blondes who want to brighten their highlights temporarily. The faux bob is a great alternative when you don't want to cut your beautiful long hair but you're tired of seeing the same traditional bridal looks and want something a bit more glamourous.  Amazing photography and makeup by Shannon Stellmacher.

Napa Valley Bridal Hair and Makeup

I had a wonderful time working with Joni at her gorgeous Napa Wedding.  Joni wanted a retro yet classic hair and makeup look for her wedding day.  I wanted her hair to last all day, so I used a stitching technique as opposed to hundreds of bobby pins.  This is much more comfortable for the bride, and looks great in photos!!  I used Kevin Murphy's Anti Gravity Lotion and Body Builder Volumizing Mousse to prep the hair.  After setting and styling I used Keven Murphy's Session Spray to finish off the look!  We played up Joni's gorgeous blue eyes with black liner and neutral shadow.  We added some drama to this retro look with matte red lipstick on her lips.

GORGEOUS!

San Francisco + Napa Valley Wedding

 I had so much fun offering hair and make up services for this beautiful bride. Here are a few bridal couture shots from a recent San Francisco City Hall wedding, with a photo session that spanded from the Clift Hotel, to City Hall and the Napa Valley.
