On-Location Bridal Hair That Sets the Tone for Your Wedding Day

Your wedding morning should feel just as unforgettable as the walk down the aisle — calm, joyful, and completely centered on you. At Behind the Updo, I bring 20+ years of expert bridal hairstyling directly to your getting-ready location, creating timeless looks that hold strong through every photo, hug, tear, and dance move.


Based in Longmont, CO and serving brides across the region and beyond, I specialize in elegant, personalized updos that reflect your unique style — whether you're going for soft boho braids, a romantic half up/half down look, or a chic modern French twist. With more than 1,000 weddings styled (and counting!), I’ve seen it all and styled it all — and I’m still just as passionate about creating serene, stunning wedding mornings as I was on day one.

Why Your Bridal Hair Deserves Experience + Intention

When it comes to your wedding day, your hair is more than just a style — it’s part of your story. Every decision — from accessory placement to holding power — affects how confident and comfortable you feel throughout the day.


That’s why I approach each wedding with a calm, creative energy and a collaborative mindset. I believe the process of getting ready should feel peaceful, not rushed. Every style I create is designed to last, to flatter, and to make you feel like your most elevated self — all while allowing you to enjoy the moment.


I continue to invest in ongoing bridal hair education, keeping my techniques fresh and trend-forward while honoring timeless beauty. It’s this blend of expertise and personal care that has earned me repeat features in Rocky Mountain Bridal Magazine (3x), Baltimore Bridal, and hundreds of heartfelt testimonials.
