My 3-days wedding weekend would not have been possible without Teresa and her talented DC Elite Image team. My biggest thank you to Teresa, Phrenchie, Sharon, Katrina, Karina, Victoria, and Melissa for your flexibility and artistic talent! Teresa and Phrenchie were flexible with doing my trial wedding hair/makeup in both Washington DC and southern California, a few months before the wedding. During the wedding weekend, the team travelled to 3 different locations to assist us with getting ready for 4 events over 3 days (including 2 back-to-back days of starting at 4-5 AM). They brought energy, optimism, big smiles, calming presence, an absolute hair and makeup magic! Teresa and Sharon's bridal makeup looks were perfection, enhanced my monolid eyes, was 100% sweat and waterproof (even in 90-degrees weather). Phrenchie and Katrina were delightful to work with, and they created the most beautiful textured updo, voluminous waves, Rapunzel braid, and Hollywood curls. I had so much fun with the artists in creating my different looks for the 4 events, which ranged from natural romantic to whimsical to Hollywood glam. The team was comfortable with adapting styles to my multi-cultural wedding, and made everyone in my ethnically diverse wedding party look gorgeous.

I had such a lovely experience with DC Elite! The entire process was made so simple. They were precise in asking what I wanted and delivered a beautiful look for both my hair and makeup for my wedding day. Everyone on the team was very professional and talented in their trade. I highly recommend DC Elite if you are looking for hair and makeup for your big day!

First of all, it was a great experience working with Melissa, the team's coordinator. She was so responsive and communicative through everything. I ended up doing a couple different hair & makeup trials to get the exact look I was aiming for and she was amazing with setting everything up for me. The hairstylists Katrina & Karina were great. I needed a tattoo covered and their specialist Angie was able to do that for me - she did such a great job! And Teresa is INCREDIBLE with makeup. I had a really bad cyctic acne flare on the morning of the wedding (of course). But it didn't matter at all - she covered everything up perfectly and even gave me a face mask treatment before putting on makeup. Also, I've had so many bad experiences in the past with professional makeup being way too much. Teresa did a great job putting together a natural bridal look for me that made me feel so gorgeous. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!!!
