Subject: Thank you
I'd like to extend my sincerest thanks for all your help leading up to and on our wedding day. You listened to me and produced exactly what I asked for with both the hair and makeup and gave me advice and assurance leading up to the big day (thanks for the don't-wear-a-bra-in-the-morning tip considering my strapless dress!!). Your calm on the day worked wonders on my mum and both my mum and my sisters commented on how fun you were to have with us. I was extremely happy with the end result and have you to thank for how good I look in our photos! My photographer Heath (Heath Wade Photography) asked for your details as he was incredibly impressed as well. I passed them onto him, I hope this is ok.

...Hi Jo,
In December you did the Make Up for wedding [@ Polkolbin]. I was a bridesmaid.
I am getting married in October & would like to know if you are available?
We would like you to do our hair, after i saw what you could do with a hair straightener! R..01/09


Hi Jo,
I just wanted to thank you again for your fabulous work on the wedding day, it all went fabulously well, [we] are soooo pleased with everything.
I've attached some close-up shots that show your handiwork and there is also an online web gallery of photos…
It was such a great day and your calming presence helped set the tone,  
the girls were cool and it was the boys that were nervous…..C... 04/08
