Wedding Hair & Makeup in Joppa

Stay with me, folks. I have a lot to say. Courtney was not supposed to do my hair and make-up on the day of my wedding. My wonderful hair and make-up artist had an emergency prior to my wedding and connected me with her friend, Courtney, before the wedding. Courtney graciously agreed to do me and my sister's hair and make-up. Now, get strapped in, because although Courtney is a superb and incredible hair and make-up artist, she truly went above and beyond on my wedding day. My sister's and my hair looked great. We have so much hair, it took so much time, and she was meticulous. Our make-up looked incredible. We truly looked like the most beautiful, and also most recognizable versions of ourselves. Courtney did the most incredible job with making us feel so beautiful and confident. I will forever feel grateful to Courtney for that feeling alone. While my sister and I were chatting with Courtney as she did our hair and make-up, my sister brought up how both of us were super unclear on how to do the bustle on my wedding dress. Turns out, Courtney worked at a bridal shop for a number of years and offered to look at the dress to help us. She looked at it and showed us a much easier version of how to bustle it. At this point in time, we found out very last minute that the photographer we hired was unable to take pictures of our wedding. Courtney jumped on her phone and called a friend who was a wedding photographer, and he his wife were able to jump in a car and drive over an hour to our wedding. We would not have been able to find a photographer on our own. My husband and I would not have pictures if it wasn't for Courtney and her kindness and willingness to help. At this point in time, my sister, who is 8+ months pregnant, ripped a hole in her maternity matron of honor dress. Courtney offered to sew the hole in her dress! Unfortunately, the hole was too large to be sewed and luckily we just so happened to have a back-up, so crisis averted, but Courtney, again, was there to help. Courtney stayed afterwards to help capture moments on her cell phone, she helped to bustle my dress, held the flash when her photographer friends came, and touched up my hair and make-up through out the evening. Courtney really saved the day. I would've been beyond thrilled with how she made my sister and I feel after hair and make-up, but she did so much more. She is just a really great and incredible person, and I am so lucky to have had her there with me. Courtney, I'm truly and forever grateful for you!
