She was meticulous with both hair and makeup, creating a look that truly felt like a dream--effortless, elegant, and perfectly suited for our Big Sur wedding. Her caliber of expertise is unmatched. Rhonda has this incredible ability to listen to your vision and elevate it with her artistry. Every detail--from the soft waves in my hair to the flawless, glowing makeup--lasted beautifully throughout the entire day (even with ocean breezes and happy tears!). Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also made the getting-ready experience feel special and serene. I can't imagine having anyone else by my side on such an important day. If you're getting married in Big Sur--or anywhere--do yourself a favor and book Rhonda. She's in a class of her own.

I hired Anna to do my makeup for my wedding along with the moms and bridal crew. She was soo sweet…read moreand responsive from the beginning. i initially found her on instagram and liked that she seemed to do a variety of looks, I felt like a lot of the makeup artists in the central coast were only doing one specific makeup look for one particular looking type of bride. Anna had variety and I appreciated that. I hired her without doing my trial first as we live out of the area. I went and saw her for my "engagement" pictures and did my trial then, about 6 weeks before the wedding. She was super sweet and flexible to my schedule. I showed her an inspiration picture and discussed my makeup needs with her and she did an AMAZING job. Asking me how I liked things as she went along to make sure we were on the same page. The day of the wedding, she was on time, sweet, and did a great job on everyones make up. My best friend and maid of honor is super into makeup and doesn't really let just anyone touch her face, she is also African American so was a little nervous about letting someone do her makeup, but after talking to Anna and looking at her insta she went for it. She was SOOOO excited and happy with her makeup. Everyone else also loved the job Anna did and were so happy. I obviously loved mine as well and got so many compliments about how beautiful I looked (thanks Anna!) If you are looking for a makeup artist, hire Anna, you won't be disappointed.

ZOMG, Adam & Chelsea were AMAZING!!!!! My now-husband & I…read morebooked them for our October 2024 wedding for both photography & videography (this review is long overdue, I know) From the initial consultation all the way to when they delivered the final pictures/film --- they were an absolute dream to work with. Our package came with a free engagement shoot but since we already had our engagement shoot, we invited them to come a day early (only if they could) & capture our rehearsal. They didn't miss a beat - they were there during our rehearsal run-through at our venue and were able to get a lay of the land prior to the big day. After our rehearsal, it was golden hour so of course, Adam took a couple shots of my husband & I (took not even 10 min) & let me tell you, from the previews he sent me THAT night --- I was so blown away with how beautiful they turned out. He definitely has an eye for it! FYI - Our package also came with an additional photographer & videographer. So when it came to the day of, they introduced us to James (from StateFarm, lol) & Laura. This completed the DREAM TEAM! Cannot stress how amazing it was to work with these 4, A. MA. ZING! Being the Type-A bride that I was, I provided Mooncrest with a Shot List on request & they delivered on that. They made sure to get the shots we wanted & even some bonuses that we didn't think about. This is why we leave it up to the professionals :) They were professionals but it also felt like we were surrounded by friends. I know they probably get this all the time, but they were hella cool & tbh, if we lived closer - they'd be awesome to hangout with. We received our final edited photos right before Christmas so it served as an early Christmas present to finally see pictures from our wedding & WOW, they turned out so beautiful! From the edits to the stolen (candid) shots - AMAZING (using that word for the millionth time in this review). When we received our Teaser Film, they also provided a "Message from your guests" video, which was a complete surprise for us & a wonderful surprise at that. It was so cool to see our friends and families wishing us well, behind-the-scenes style. Such a great bonus! Once we received our full wedding video, they provided a Documentary Edit so that we can relive the moments in real time - First look, private vows, ceremony, & speeches. So, something to make note of - during the initial consultation --- my husband only had one request, he wanted to make sure all the speeches were recorded. So I am guessing this led to them providing the Documentary Edit & we are soooo thankful for this. It's something we can watch over & over again & relive the key moments. Our final wedding film took the cake! Adam & his edits, geeez louis! This man has got the eye and talent. His edits were impeccable & we couldn't have dreamed of a better way of capturing one of the most important days of our lives. From the songs he chose (which he used our friend's cover who performed during our cocktail hour) to the cuts/transitions -- *chef's freakin' kiss! The day of our wedding went by in a blur but the photos and film captured, we will forever cherish. Mooncrest helped us remember things that happened during the day that we don't even recall because it went by so fast. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone. If you want pictures that look like they're out of a magazine and videos give you the feels - BOOK MOONCREST! You will not regret it!
