Kara reached out to me through my website about needing a hair and makeup artist for her big day in September. My booking agreement doesn't specify that the bride be included in the count, and maybe I should change that, but I didn't realize until the day of that it was just her ladies that I'd be doing makeup on. And I'm totally cool with that! Just threw me off for a sec. Lolz. Below are several lists of the makeup products used on each bridesmaid (that's what BM stands for

**DISCLAIMER // This wedding was booked through Eye Do Hair and Makeup Talent Agency, not through Declan and Mae. I was just their contracted and independent artist for this beautiful wedding.** I booked Kelsey's wedding through Eye Do and it's not that often that I'm the only one working it. So that felt strange to me. I've worked weddings solo all the time through my own business, but it just felt odd. Anywho, I know it was just me, I know I'm weird. Lol... Kelsey is a supe

**DISCLAIMER -- This wedding was booked through Katie-Lane Thornton, not through Declan and Mae. I only assisted her this day with hairstyling.** As you probably know by now, I'm friends with several photographers and fellow hair and makeup artists around Nashville. Katie-Lane Thornton is one of those beauty gals that I know and we just started working side by side for a couple of weddings this summer. She asked me to assist her 8.18.18 wedding and I was thrilled to be availa

Before I get too far into wedding talk, I met Jacey's mom first. I was an independent contracted artist with a mobile beauty app and I met LeeAnn because she requested a spray tan appointment. That was probably back in February or March this year. We got to talking and her daughter, who lives out of town, was getting married in August and needed a hair and makeup artist. Hellur, pick me! Lol. So I gave her my business card and went about my day. LeeAnn requested a few more sp

I'm listed as a preferred vendor with a few event venues around Nashville. Drakewood Farm in Goodlettsville is one of them. Emily booked that venue and needed a referral for a makeup artist. She had one in mind to start and they did her makeup for her engagement photos (not sure who it was), but she ended up not liking the end product. She reached out to me and we did a trial run a couple of months before the wedding and she loved it! Here are the products and photos from the

Thinking back, I'm not quite sure how Ashley got in touch with me. Although, as I'm typing this, it came to mind that I believe she was a referral from the photographer. Makes sense now. Lol. Regardless, we met about a month before the wedding to trial her hair and makeup look. Ashley wanted a low, textured, "undone" kind of low bun. She and Josh were not having a wedding party since it was a more intimate ceremony in her parents' backyard. But, to treat her mom and soon-to-b

**DISCLAIMER // This is not a wedding booked with Declan and Mae but with Eye Do Hair and Makeup Talent Agency.** I met with Jessy back over winter break to trial her perfect wedding hair and makeup look. She lives out of state, but family still lives here, and she visits during school breaks. I tried to remember to take as many cell phone pictures as possibly because I knew I'd have 6 months between the trial and wedding date and I needing to remember as much as I could so t

I met Emily way early this year when her and her fiance were in town meeting with other wedding vendors. They live out of state but decided Nashville was where they wanted to say "I do!" We met over lunch and immediately hit it off! They wanted to meet face to face to see how well we meshed and if she thought I'd be a good fit for her beauty needs. So we set up a trial run for the next time she'd be in town and here's the info for that. Trial makeup: Temptu s/b airbrush foun

**DISCLAIMER // This wedding was not booked through Declan and Mae rather through Eye Do Hair and Makeup Talent Agency.** I met Meghan -- yes, we have the same name and the same spelling -- through this wedding booking team I'm a part of called Eye Do. They scheduled me to be the lead for Meghan's wedding towards the end of June this year. We did a trial at my in-home studio because Meghan is an out-of-town bride. She wanted something super natural with her makeup and we didn

Maggie was recommended to me by Loveless Events. I'm a preferred vendor with them and every now and then will get a referral from them. Maggie was super sweet when she reached out and we set up a trial run and everything almost immediately. We didn't trial with the hair since she was already decided on a low chignon bun, but here is the info if you're curious with what makeups products we used. Products used: Temptu s/b airbrush foundation no4, Nars radiant creamy concealer i

**DISCLAIMER // This wedding was not booked through Declan and Mae but though Eye Do Hair and Makeup Talent Agency.** Anna and I met back in March to trial for her wedding day look coming up at the end of June. Right off the bat, she was super sweet and we had a great time chit chatting while getting ready. We decided on a low curled bun and a bronzed makeup look. Products used: Temptu 4&5 mixed, Nars Custard concealer, RCMA powder, NYX contour, Mac Melba blush, Becca Champag

**DISCLAIMER // This wedding was not booked through Declan + Mae but though Eye Do Hair and Makeup Talent Agency. Whenever they book a wedding for me, I just how up and do my thing. They take care of all the administrative stuff. Just FYI.** Brooke and Jonathan got married back on 8.11.18 at Clementine Hall in Nashville. If you haven't heard of that venue, look it up, go visit, something. The owners take old buildings around town and instead of tearing down and building somet

Kristen reached out to me earlier this year asking if I was available to do hair and makeup for her May wedding at Butterfly Hollow Bed & Breakfast in Gordonsville. It was not a weekend wedding, so my calendar was open. Gordonsville is about an hour east of Nashville and the b&b is super cute, surrounded by beautiful trees and imagery. Products used: Temptu s/b airbrush foundation no1&3 mixed, NYX pro hd concealer in Light, RCMA no color powder to set, Tarte Park Ave Princess

**DISCLAIMER // This wedding was booked through Eye Do Hair and Talent Agency, not with Declan + Mae, so I'm posting this giving them the credit. I want us all to be on the same page. Eye Do had reached out to me about scheduling a trial run with Kelly the week of her wedding in early June. She was an out of town bride and I know that can be extremely difficult planning an event like this when you're in a totally different city. Below are the trial products and pictures I too

**DISCLAIMER // This was a wedding booked through Eye Do Hair and Talent agency, not through Declan + Mae, so technically these were not my clients. I still like to post their photos if I have the chance. Nichole Holloway-Smithson also was an artist this day.** June 17th was the big day for Candice and Scott and it was such a pleasure to be a part of it providing hair and makeup. They got married at Houston Station in Nashville and it was the venue's last wedding. Sad day! Th

I don't know about you and your style of things, but I personally lean towards more modern, sometimes even simplistic, and industrial things in life. Not that I don't also appreciate the shabby chic or traditional things, but I have all the feels for the other. Anytime I have down time with my business, I search online for new companies that might fit into that. The Bedford is a venue near 100 Oaks and inside is stunning, complete with exposed brick everywhere, multi levels a

Anna and Brent Hockman said "I do" on 6.16.18 and it was such a beautiful wedding. My bff, Sarah, is the bride's sister and she asked me to come down that weekend for the wedding and to catch up with old friends as well. We knew each other when we both lived in Birmingham from 2001-2006 and both moved away since then. My family moved to Nashville and Sarah and her husband eventually settled out in Los Angeles. So you can understand that when we're both this close to each othe

Now that it's been so many months later, I don't really remember how Carly got in touch with me about doing hair and makeup for her wedding day in May. I wanna say it was through one of the wedding facebook groups, but not 100% on that. Anywho, Carly wanted a trial back in November when her engagement photo shoot was scheduled. I usually don't like doing a trial run like that for hair and makeup so far in advance from the wedding day, but I think it worked out in this case. W

Libby's sister, Carrie, contacted me a few weeks before her mid-May wedding asking about hair and makeup services. Luckily, I had a last minute cancellation for that day so I was wide open! I'm always happy to help out any ladies on a last minute quest for a beauty artist for their special day. Libby's soon-to-be hubby has had some medical issues for some time now and they weren't sure if the wedding would even take place, so that's why there was last minute work for me. As o

The photographer, Alex Thornton, reached out to me about working a styled bridal photo shoot with her back in March. Funny story, she and I met at a holiday networking event with Perfect Wedding Guide back in December 2015. We arranged to work a shoot together in early 2016, but at the last minute it had to be moved to a different date. And I was already busy on that day, so I had to pass it along to a friend of mine. And since 2016, we haven't had a chance to work together (
