Working in Chattanooga

A Chattanooga wedding morning, made calm

Chattanooga weddings have a particular feel to them. The river runs through almost every photo, the mountain ridges are part of the backdrop, and the downtown art district carries its own polished look. I dial the makeup to whichever of those settings you are in. Riverfront venues need a finish that holds up in humidity, mountain-view venues photograph best with a soft lash and clean skin, and downtown venues can carry a slightly more defined eye.

Chattanooga is the city where I most often see bridal parties splitting between two getting-ready locations, one for the bride and one for the bridesmaids. I plan the order of services so the bride is finished last and there is time for a final touch-up before first look. A bride plus two services is the minimum to book the date, and a typical Chattanooga wedding has the bride plus four to six bridesmaids on the kit.

Traveling from Athens to Chattanooga

Chattanooga is about 60 miles southwest of Athens, roughly an hour and fifteen minutes by car. Travel is calculated at $0.65 per mile from Athens with a $30 minimum. Every adult application includes false lashes and a lip touch-up kit so the look that walks down the aisle is the look in your photographs.
