Sumerle and Tom

Sumerle and Thomas Dyer
Wedding Date: April 17th 2010




Sumerle and I go back to Freshman year in high school. It really takes a special friendship to keep in touch with somone years after you graduate. I won't tell you how many years, I don't want to age myself but lets just say it has been more that 2 years.
This year I had the honor to do Sumerle's hair and makeup for her wedding! I was so excited to help! She didn't need much help, she is already such a beautiful person not just on the outside but also within. She chose to go for more of a classic look and I feel that we acheived it 100%. She looked so glamorous and regal.


The photographer did an absolute wonderful job it was so hard choosing the images I wanted for my blog. You can view more of thier work at www.chris-bence.com. The pre-wedding photos were taken at the beautiful Mission Inn of Riverside California.



The ceramony took place at the Historical Citrus Park. Followed by coctail reception at the lovely Ciao Bella Restaurant.



Best Wishes to Sumerle and Tom. May your journey together be filled with love and laughter!

Commercial Shoot for John Elway's Crown Toyota


Photography by: Dean Wilder Photography

Toyota Auto Center in Ontario Photo shoot

Working with the staff of Toyota Auto Center in Ontario as well as Mr. and Mrs. Elway was definitely a pleasure! This photo shoot was put together for commercial purposes, you may have already seen one of the billboards off the 60 freeway in Riverside. Handcrafted Media and Dean Wilder Photography are a group of talented, laid back yet so professional group of people they make work feel like play time. The photo shoot consisted of 6 models and over 15 staff needing hair and makeup, so as you can imagine it was a pretty busy day for the makeup and hair department which consisted of myself and Adela Benavidas. So many thanks to Adela!

Collaberation of beauty




I met Pricilla while I was working at a wedding. She was the girlfriend of the "bride to be" son. She had no makeup on, but was very stunning. I asked her for her information and if she would be interested in doing a photo shoot? She was very excited and very willing. Who wouldn't be willing to play dress up and makeup? It's every women fantasy, right? I collaborated with Michelle owner of Beverly Hills Bridal Exchange for her spectacular gowns and accessories, Jule from Julea Jewels also had several accessories to choose from. I was taken aback by what Nathan Lee of NLRphotography brought to the table. He captured so much beauty! I really enjoyed working with him and look forward to working with him in the future. Pricilla was a great model! She was a pleasure to work with, very easy going and just took spectacular pictures. I did enhance Pricilla's beauty, just a bit....she is already so beautiful she didn't need much help.
