Vietnamese-Indian Wedding May 2024

My 3-days wedding weekend would not have been possible without Teresa and her talented DC Elite Image team. My biggest thank you to Teresa, Phrenchie, Sharon, Katrina, Karina, Victoria, and Melissa for your flexibility and artistic talent! Teresa and Phrenchie were flexible with doing my trial wedding hair/makeup in both Washington DC and southern California, a few months before the wedding. During the wedding weekend, the team travelled to 3 different locations to assist us with getting ready for 4 events over 3 days (including 2 back-to-back days of starting at 4-5 AM). They brought energy, optimism, big smiles, calming presence, an absolute hair and makeup magic! Teresa and Sharon's bridal makeup looks were perfection, enhanced my monolid eyes, was 100% sweat and waterproof (even in 90-degrees weather). Phrenchie and Katrina were delightful to work with, and they created the most beautiful textured updo, voluminous waves, Rapunzel braid, and Hollywood curls. I had so much fun with the artists in creating my different looks for the 4 events, which ranged from natural romantic to whimsical to Hollywood glam. The team was comfortable with adapting styles to my multi-cultural wedding, and made everyone in my ethnically diverse wedding party look gorgeous.

Amazing work!

I'm so thrilled that I trusted the DC Elite Image team with my hair and makeup for my wedding! Phrenchie and Angie were both so kind and helpful, and made me feel so beautiful and comfortable for the entire day! Despite me having no idea what I was really looking for when we first met for the trial look, they both made me feel like an elevated version of myself, and my hair and makeup looked great all day long through all of DC's classic late-summer humidity. They also did hair and makeup for my mother and the groom's mother and stepmother, and everyone was so excited with how they looked! Melissa was also a joy to work with through the entire process - she was always super responsive and helpful in answering my questions and coordinating when we needed to change up some of our plans. I'm overjoyed with the whole team, and so thankful for their help on such a big day!

100% recommend Teresa and her team!

My experience with DC Elite Image by Teresa Foss Beauty was truly a dream come true. Teresa and her team surpassed every expectation I could have hoped for to achieve flawless HMU for my wedding. Finding the right HMU team for my wedding gave me a lot of anxiety. But Teresa and her team did not disappoint -- they are truly masters at their craft and I recommend them to anyone seeking high quality HMU services. I tend to break out and have skin reactions to new products, so I sincerely appreciated the advice given and high quality products used to help ensure my skin remained radiant and healthy pre/post wedding. Thank you Teresa and team for making me feel and look my best on my wedding day.

I have worked alongside Teresa, with DC Elite Image, on a couple of weddings and have been impressed each time. She is always timely, efficient, easy to work with, and she is incredible at bringing out the natural beauty in each of the brides and bridesmaids we've worked with. She knows the industry very well and will do everything in her power to make you look and feel as beautiful as you are!
