Congrats Mandy & Ian!

It's been a while since I had to wake up at 4am - so it was definitely a challenge getting up. Not only was it still pitch black, it was raining and I was exhausted. I've been battling a cold, but thank goodness Timmies is open 24 hrs to get the ball rolling!!

While it may have been one of the most quiet environments, it was also very calming - soothing actually. However, it didn't last long as Mandy's relatives started to wake up one-by-one and then her entire family marching in towards the end lol. In any case, everyone was a pleasure to work with and they all looked stunning.

I drove down for her touch-ups in the evening and after seeing their venue -the Atlantis , I decided that is pretty much where I'd like to get married as well. It was an amazing view and definitely not your typical Asian banquet! I also bumped into Cindy, a makeup artist I have worked with on many weddings. It was so good to see a familiar face! She and I will be teaming up for Theresa's wedding in May :)

All in all, it was a great day! Mandy had a sophisticated low bun style (below), which was accented by two crystal hair pins, while her entourage opted for flowy half-up's and side ponies.

Congrats Mandy & Ian!!
