ob·sta·cle
–noun
something that obstructs or hinders progress.
I had a sweet, sweet bride in September. Just the sweetest woman ever, so full of life, so full of love. *great* skin - I always like it when they have great skin. I had sent one of my makeup artists on my team for the run through, who had been through 1 year of artistry schooling at the major school in BC. Well. It was not but one day later and I got the dreaded phone call. Ummm.... I hate to hear that. I also got pictures... oh snap. I really hate getting those. The artist I sent did makeup like she had not a clue how to do it! Oh my! I was so displeased! Of course, I jumped on it and rescheduled a run through with her and quickly dismissed my artist.
My sweet bride and her sister came to my place for the run through - I wanted to make sure everything was perfect for her. We came up with a look that went well with her personality, style and comfort level.
The morning of:
the moment of truth.
I arrived at Andie's house early. She was still getting her hair finished up. She was a dream to look at. Hair perfect. Skin perfect. So full of anticipation - just ready for her big day. My job was just to sit back, be relaxed and *not* let her excitement wear off too much on me!
We found just the right lighting for application. I prepped her skin and started the application, just as we had rehearsed. Long story short... she was happy. In the whirlwind of mom showing up, the shutter fly snapping every moment, sisters and bridesmaids giving their opinion... we kept moving forward.
Ahhh... the dress arrived. It was beautiful. Of course it is my job to be excited and admire the beauty of the gown, yet stay out of the picture as much as possible, but it was indeed lovely.
I packed up my things... job done. Knowing she would surely enjoy her day and look just smashing along the way.
I wondered how the day went for her and only recently was able to see pictures.
I later received this in the mail:
"Thank you so much for making my wedding day amazing! The makeup was perfect and I felt so comfortable all day. I can't thank you enough for helping everything run so smoothly the morning of and going the extra mile. I couldn't have been happier and I will definitely be recommending you to my friends. Thanks again."
Happy for a job well done. Thank you for giving the Seattle Glam Squad a second chance.
