After getting engaged I've began researching vendors for hair & makeup, photography, etc.
Nevertheless, it's becoming so frustrating that a large amount of the vendors do not include a portfolio with some pictures of minorities. I understand that many may tend to work with white women, however, white women are not the only women to get married.
As a vendor, I would think that they would like to appeal to all types of women.
But how can I chose a vendor and try to evaluate the quality of their services/how well their style matches with mine, when no one in their portfolio resembles me?
It's a huge turn off! And after this constant occurrence, it's disheartening.
With makeup for example, there are so many shades of brown and it takes a lot of skill to select the right colors. (I even have friends who model and have had the makeup artist tell them to bring their own makeup b/c their skin color is too difficult!) The same goes for photography!
Does anyone have any suggestions
