Hera Beauty… Sparkle, Curl, Wink!

Every now and then we are presented with a unique challenge where we have the opportunity to try something new and exciting… in this case, a Hindu wedding ceremony with both American and Indian influences.

For this ceremony, the color gold was of significance to the bride and her family, so Kat made sure that the color was highly showcased in the makeup pallete and reflected on her skin.  Placing and setting the bridal bindis was a new and very cool experience!

Leena wanted to have a softer, romantic, yet classic look for her hair, and thus, Whitney created a loosely waved bun that worked well with the veil and dress.  Rachel completed the bridal party with styles of their choosing.

“Kat & Whitney were absolutely fabulous! Coming from the east coast and not knowing who to book, I received a few responses but talking to Kat made me most comfortable. I booked her mainly on her sweet personality, and I couldn’t have had better intuition. I wanted something classic in terms of hair & makeup (as the whole Elvis thing was already over the top!) and as we are wedding photographers and deal a lot with hair & makeup artists, maybe we are even picky. Perfect choice…could not be happier with the job they did!”  -Jackie

“I refer to Kat as my “magician” because she transformed me into a flawless beauty queen on my wedding day. She was easy to communicate with, and was receptive to making me look as natural as possible. She came completely prepared with so many tools, accessories, and every color of every kind of make-up you could imagine, was prompt, professional, and an absolute joy to work with while she worked her magic on me. I highly recommend Kat for all your beauty needs!” -Blair
