I have been in contact with Galmsquad and Francesca Lombardo regarding my hair and make-up for the big day.
So far no-one has impressed me apart from Francesca.
She seems very professional and quite reasonable on pricing.
I am traveklling from the UK so would like to know if anybody ahs used her before and if so any feedback would be very much appreciated!!!!

Thanks Laughing

    I am using her and she has gotten rave reviews throughout the past year. I am sure you will get other responses as well!

    She gets 99% rave reviews on here. A couple people have had an issue, but any great vendor can have a bad day.

    If there are any complaints about her, it is mostly that she is sometimes a little slow with communication, but she is busy and doesn't have an assistant or anything to answer e-mails.

    I loved her. I have never EVER felt so amazingly pretty in my entire life.

    Yay! Thanks gals. I still don't think I believe that's really me. We're probably just days away from getting back all of our pics, and this is my fav from Ron's blog, so I figured I'd AW it until I have a new favorite. :)

    I booked Francesca for me and all my girls.
    Like Trashie said, she gets about 99% RAVE reviews on here.

    I was impressed by her portfolio, and the fact that she doesn't use airbrushed make-up.

    She has answered all my emails with-in a day or two, which is fine with me. I never expect her to get back to me over the weekends, either.

    Good luck!

    My wife had Francesca do a trial run the night before and her and an assistant were there from morning till the ceremony started day-of to do all the girls hair and makeup along with mom and grandma.  My wife really loved her.

    Yes she was awesome to work with.  She is so calm and was really receptive throughout the planning process.  I would recommend a trial.  I had one and my base color in photos was too pale so I had her make it darker for the actual wedding and showed her the pictures.

    I was considering a trial but when I have spoken to other vendors they have all said not to bother.
    Which for me was quite worrying.
    I like the fact that everyone is saying that she is very calm, this is a big positive.
    Well I have heard back from her and she has asked me to email piccies across of my hair now and how I am wanting it on the day.
     Also she has suggested a trial but I will receive a discount on the day if I have a trial.
    I am liking what I am hearing so far, will let you all know what she says!
    I am going to check Ron Miller out too, my future husband decided to inform me last night that he would love me to have boudoir photos done.
    It's something that I have never seen until joining here but am thinking about giving them a try.
    Its something no other bride around my little mining village will have that's for sure!! xx

    For boudoir pics in Vegas, I would HIGHLY recommend Dott Photography / I See Sexy. Olga is absolutely amazing - I did B-pics with her and gave the album to DH the night before the wedding and he was floored. She works with Francesca also. Oh, Olga also did our Newlywed shoot at the Neon Museum (pics and reviews in my bio). Check out her blog, www.blog.iseesexy.com.

    Thank you! As much as I love our pics from Todd, I wish we would have hired Olga for the wedding. At the time I just thought she was way out of our budget but looking back, we could have afforded her. Oh well... :)
