Brooke has been in my makeup chair 3 times. First for her BFF's Jenn's wedding (where Brooke had experienced a horrible spray tanning incident. Proof to try things in advance of any major event).
The second time, she contracted me to be the makeup artist for her sister's wedding. A gorgeous affair at the Clayton Opera House, which was photographed by Bert Pohl Photography.
The third time was for her own wedding! It is one of the things I love most about the job. Building relationships with clients that see them through these amazing life events.
Brooke had a large bridal party so Jessica traveled with me to do makeup for half of the girls.

I ask for each bride's photographer's info when booking them. I like to know who I'm working with that day. Her original photographer I hadn't heard of. So I did a search on them. They had an entire website created by over 20 clients they had never delivered photos to!! The clients had logged complaints to the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General!
I quickly emailed Brooke the link to the site I had discovered. With Brooke's dad about to be deployed to Afghanistan soon after the wedding, I knew these photos would be especially important to the family.
Brooke contacted Bert Pohl Photography in hopes they would be available instead. They were able to make some changes in their schedule and save the day!!
Bert and Kryna are a husband and wife team that I LOVE working with. They have great artistic vision. They worked with closely with Brooke to get the shots she really wanted.
Forgive me for posting so many photos, but this was one of my favorite weddings for 2011.
I hope I get to work with Bert & Kryna again this year.
And congrats to Brooke on the news of her expecting late this Summer!
