YO. Mama hit the jackpot on the hair & make-up, kiddies. Her name is Julia Papworth, and she's so.freaking.talented. Not only did she and I go to the same high school, but she's kind of a badass in her industry. Julia has done everything from magazine covers, to print ads, to movies and red carpet events, to runway shows, to music videos and lucky for me (and you!), she does weddings! Girl does it ALL and does it with style. And, oh, did I mention she kicks ass? One of her most recent gigs was doing Kendra's hair for the Jay Leno Show. Check out how fly she made Miss Kendra look:
From edgy to elegant, Julia has the chops to do practically anything... which is EXACTLY what the doctor ordered for the type of wedding we're putting on. I believe when I emailed my initial inquiry to Julia, I told her I wanted to look "fly as shit" for my wedding. And her response was, "I can do fly as shit!" So, yeah. I could tell right away that we were going to get along. Check out some more of her work:
Holy-balls fierceness:
Funky Rad Awesomeness:
Gorgeous Wedding loveliness:
And Totally Avant-garde Amazingness:
See! I told you she can do it all! There were so many breathtaking images on Julia's website, it was hard to choose which ones to show off. All the gals in our bridal party are getting services from Julia on our big day as well, and I cannot wait to see how fierce the results are. So to all my Cali-brides: Get your ass over to Julia's site, JuliaPapworth.com and book her... You can also find Julia on Facebook, Twitter, and on Model Mayhem. My thanks to Julia for sharing all these gorgeous images with us, and an even bigger thank you to her for being awesomesauce incarnate. I cannot wait to work with her.
P.S. As a funny tidbit: I don't know if Julia remembers this or not, but when I was a freshman in high school, she was a senior. And I was dating one of her best friends at the time. And we ended up wearing the SAME EXACT dress to prom that year. It was hilarious.
