Hey Ladies
Hope everyone is doing well!!

I was wondering what photographers are you ladies going with? I haven't booked as of yet, but i've been looking at DUET... but I don't know the prices or anything... i'd have to look further into it!
What about you guys? Can you recommend any other ones for me to take a look at??

BTW I Tetelove, I love the hair style soo classy!

We are using Duet and they offer a lot of the money that you pay. It is well worth it and they work with you with prices a lot because they want your business.

I have no idea... My Godmother is stylist at JCPENNY'S but she won't be doing my hair due to the fact that she's going to be too busy getting ready for the wedding. I have the style that I want....its a matter of finding someone talented enough to pull it off.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

Hi Ladies! I know a really good hair stylist but she is in Suffolk County and she does really good hair. She's done a lot of hair shows for her salon and stuff. If you FM i can give you the name and number to her salon. I'm not using her because my steady stylist is doing my hair but she is doing some of my bridesmaids too.
