Hair
We exclusively use Kevin Murphy products for the best results.
Ashley uses a plastic needle and thread over Bobbi pins for up styles. This allows the most secure hold without lots of pins. Easy to take down and the options are endless.
Ashley creates custom hair jewelry with antique and vintage treasures, curious? Ask about a custom piece.
Makeup
We use water-based airbrush makeup for the best result for your wedding day and photography results. It offers sheer to total coverage and easy on the skin. We use individual cluster lashes with waterproof glue for the most natural and impactful result. We use a professional artist secret to seal the makeup in for the day and into the night.
