At the end of April I had the privilege of traveling to Acapulco with Michael for Amy and Octavio’s Destination Wedding at The Grand Mayan Resort. I had the honor of styling Amy’s hair and also Amy’s Bridemaids as well as her lovely mother Elaine. It was a great experience and I enjoyed every moment while we were in Acapulco. They were such wonderful people to work with and be around that it really did not seem like work at all! I’m extremely happy and proud at how amazing the Bridal Up Do turned out. Amy looked GORGEOUS!!

After I was done with working on hair, I turned into an assistant for the Wedding Photographer Michael Wachniak, who just so happens to be my boyfriend! Together we thought it would be so fantastic if we could offer brides a package that would combine the skills of a wedding photographer, a wedding hair stylist (and a wedding photographer assistant)! Alas,  The Wedding Photographer and Hairstylist Team was born (at least for us!),  and I must say we had so much fun and it was an absolute pleasure! We are looking forward to working our next Destination Wedding together, wherever it may be, and hope it will be soon

My recommendation for Destination Weddings in countries with very high humidty (ie Mexico and The Caribbean) would be to select a hairstyle with curves and waves, as the humidity will work with you and maintain the curls throughout the day. Straight hair IS possible but will more than likely curl on its own in a matter of minutes.

A quick note for brides planning a wedding on or near a beach: Ocean breezes tend to unravel and open loose hairstyles. I recommend hairstyles that involve french twists, chignon, or even a simple yet chic ponytail.

Here is an image of Michael and I with The Newlyweds! Amy and Octavio, we had an amazing time with you guys, your family and friends welcomed us in with open arms and made us feel like we were part of the family. We both want to wish you a lifetime of happiness and joy together!
