The Videographer

A wedding without a videographer is like the Grammy's without Beyonce! Having a videography may seem like an unnecessary expense, but you'll regret not getting videos of your special day.

The Makeup Artist

Would Kim Kardashian show up to her wedding without hair & makeup? We think not! That only means you shouldn't either. Whether you're having a small intimate wedding or a huge shebang, you'll feel far more confident - you'll look better in your photographs and you won't have to spend hours watching YouTube Makeup DIY videos.
