Last summer I had the honor of doing Hannah’s hair and makeup for her GORGEOUS wedding at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. I got to work with some extremely talented people such as Brandon Kidd (photographer) and Catherine Cindy Leo(wedding planner).

Check out their wedding, which was featured on Style Me Pretty!

Happy New Year!!!

2012 was a CRAZYYYY year for me. I was a part of 3 weddings…AND I actually got married 2 months ago!!!

Now it’s FINALLY time to rebuild and makeover my website. In the meantime, check out my bridal hair & makeup board on Pinterest for inspiration for YOUR big day

Thank you so much for your patience…the NEW Angie Hair & Makeup page will be up soon!!

If you’re wondering why my blog hasn’t been updated.. there really is no excuse!! However, I have a couple of exciting updates in my life that I wanted to share…

First off, my boyfriend of four years proposed to me last October so we’re getting married!! Our wedding is taking place late fall of this year in Cypress, CA. My older sister is also getting married in April, so I’m definitely getting a crash course in wedding planning. Weddings are no joke :p

In January I received news that Angie Hair & Makeup won the Wedding Wire Brides Choice Award 2012! It is such a big honor for me and sincerely appreciate all the love and support from my friends, family, and most importantly, my brides!

This year also marks my 10th year of working in the wedding industry and I love it more than ever. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to making my dream career a success.  I am especially grateful for the wedding professionals I’ve had the honor of working with and am mentioning some of these people below.

It’s truly a pleasure to be part of this network of amazing and talented individuals!!

MIA

It cannot be a good thing when you run into a certain wedding photographer (who shall remain nameless) and he/she calls you out on not updating your website. So here I am!!

2011 has been quite an eventful year so I apologize for being MIA..

Anyhow, I’d like to rewind back to May. My oldest friend, Hong-An got married. Our moms are friends so we’ve known each other since we were wee kids. My favorites from the wedding were the life size cardboard cutouts of Hong-An, Hamilton, and their dog as well as the couple’s grand entrance singing “My Boo.” Hands down.. the most fun I’ve ever had at a wedding

Take a look at the video of their wedding shot by Randy from Chiara Cinema.

Below are photos of Hong An taken by Youkeun Oh.

San Jolie

I was contacted for hair and makeup for San’s wedding by her fiance and I was caught off guard because this was not typical. Later I found out that San was a flight attendant and is usually away for work 5 days @ a time. It was hard for us to correspond directly and we weren’t able to meet up to do a preview. On the wedding day everything went smoothly, especially since San knew exactly what she wanted: BIG MESSY HAIR. Needless to say, she definitely pulled it off!

While I was doing San’s makeup, her friend and photographer, Phuc, jokingly called her “San Jolie” because she has great, full lips.. I’m so jealous!

This last one’s my absolute favorite..

Bon. Jane Bon.

Jane and I have known each other since our VSA days in high school. A decade has passed.. and she recently married Peter, who has been her boyfriend for as long as I’ve known her.

Not only is it nice to see an old friend but it’s especially great to be a part of their big day! It’s truly my pleasure to post these photos of Jane + Peter from their e-session and wedding day, shot by Mimi Nguyen Photography.

How can you not love her smile!?

Here’s Jane in her Vietnamese “ao dai” dress and “khan dong” hat for the tea ceremony

Jane in my director’s chair!

the dentist + the pharmacist

Meet Daniel and Jenn, who are just too cute for words. I was referred to Jenn by her wedding planner, the fabulous Catherine Cindy Leo. I did Jenn’s makeup for both her e-session and wedding day and she was just a doll!

Click on the photo below to see the highlights of Jenn and Daniel’s wedding, shot by Peter Chang (Studio205Films). It will make you melt ♥

You’ll also see why their wedding was featured on the blogs Style Unveiled and Style Me Pretty!

Here are some closeups of Jenn’s getting ready photos on the day of, shot @ the Viceroy. Photos are courtesy of Youkeun Oh Photography.

from sri lanka with ♥

I would have to say that Hazel was my very first Sri Lankan bride! Hazel got married last fall at Occidental College in LA. I recall us having to run around campus in search of the ideal spot to do makeup, which was worth it because we found a huge empty room without any distractions. It was the perfect setting for the bride moments before having to walk down the aisle

What struck me the most about Hazel was her amazing attitude, I’m sure, is hard to maintain when planning your wedding! I had such a blast with her.

Here are my favorite shots of the day, taken by Zenia Photography.

It means so much when previous clients post up reviews of my work. I was so touched by Hazel’s review that I wanted to share it

I cannot say enough good things about Angie! Besides making me look INCREDIBLE on my wedding day, she was so sweet and pleasant to be around – not to mention punctual, professional, and very responsive in communication.

I did a trial and wedding day makeup sessions with her. She was fabulous each session and used great products on me. I absolutely loved her work and could not have asked for anything more! I am super picky with coloring and skin tone and she nailed it, without me mentioning a thing.

She was already booked the morning of my wedding and only had time to do my makeup, or I would have had her do my hair as well. Even though she knew she wouldn’t be doing my hair – she helped me figure out what kind of style to do for the wedding! Who DOES that?? She goes above and beyond to provide excellence for her clients.

You will not regret booking with Angie – she is one in a million!
