thanks to psquared, i am now leaning more towards amna's photography. it is such stunning work! i have also heard mixed review's of zaynab's work. i have tried contacting her as well, but she is REALLY hard to get a hold of. a friend's sister had her makeup done by her, and she had a pretty bad experience. she said zaynab was rushing through the process the whole time because she had some sort of dinner to go to afterwards. you would think, if you make an appt with a bride for her makeup, you would know how long it takes, and would make it a point NOT to rush the bride. she said zaynab took a total of 1 hour or 1.5 hrs to do the makeup, the hair, and dupatta setting. she was not happy with it.
i went to a family friend's wedding, and mehwish khan was the makeup artist. she does REALLY nice work. however, she has been a little hard to get in touch with for me.
i am also looking for a mehndi artist. im having a hard time finding really nice mehndi artists in chicago.
