Feature Wedding: Nicole's Wedding Look

I know, I know, I work with the most gorgeous brides.  I will be doing a few posts about Nicole's wedding because I really just can't narrow down all of the wonderful pictures.  As you can see, Nicole was absolutely stunning on her wedding day.  She was surrounded by all of her best girlfriends from high school and college and let me tell you, they are one group of gorgeous girls (bridesmaid pics will be another post).

The Look....Nicole really wanted dramatic eyes, soft lips and flawless skin.  This is a great bridal look.  The key is to play up the eyes without overdoing it (lashes really help).  I also think it is important to to choose a lip color that is light but dark enough for the lips to show up in photos.  I love how Nicole's look turned out and so did she.

The wonderful photographer who sent me all of the pictures is Eric Wuechner from David Eric Photography.  I owe him a huge thank you because he got so many closeups of Nicole (which is a makeup artists dream).

So as usual, enjoy all the beauty and feel free to leave a comment.

 

 

Kelly and Tommy: Part II

I have so many fabulous pictures from Kelly and Tommy's Wedding that I wanted to make two posts out of the wonderful event.  So enjoy the encore!

 

Feature Wedding: Kelly and Tommy

Kelly and Tommy are the most adorable couple and everyone in there wedding was so stinkin cute.  Kelly is so upbeat and full of life, she put tons of time and energy into this wedding and it really paid off.  As you can see she looked like a perfect Barbie Doll Bride who could not stop smiling all day.

Jamie from Baltimore Bridal Hair (love her) showed up at the crack of dawn to start hair for all the girls and I joined shortly after to tackle makeup.  We were joined by Matt Fuller from Tender Images who documented the whole day.  He also sent me a CD of all the picture so THANK YOU Matt!  Kelly, you were such a pleasure to work with and I wish you a Tommy a lifetime of happiness.  As for the rest of you, enjoy all the gorgeous photos!

Go Ravens Go COVERGIRL

Monday evening I was busy doing mini makeovers for COVERGIRL at the Ravens stadium for a Ravens VIP event.  You may wonder how many ladies would even be present at a Baltimore Ravens VIP event, well the answer is 3000.  YES, it was a women only party for Ravens fans and I was there with COVERGIRL giving out free makeovers and free makeup.  It was a lot of fun hanging out with my fellow Ravens fans and treating so many women with special COVERGIRL makeovers.  We were even giving out my favorite mascara "COVERGIRL Exact Eyelights."  I hope to see you there next year!

 

Gorgeous Bride Lauren

Lauren was a blast to work with.  She had a whole room full of friends and family on her wedding day and they all made me feel like one of the crowd.  I must have done 12 woman's makeup that day but I honestly just lost track.  What I do know is that it is any makeup artists dream to work with a bride a beautiful (inside and out) as Lauren.  We had a lot of fun getting ready and I can only imagine what kind of crazy fun they had at the wedding.  Enjoy the beautiful pics!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vintage Bride

I have a special fondness for birdcage veils and I have been waiting for a bride to finally use one, so I am sending huge thank yous to Amanda!!!!!  Amanda was married at Turf Valley Country Club on a beautiful September day.  I just loved her look.  She wore a very special and unique lace vintage inspired gown and her hair and makeup went right along with her look.  Amanda's sister-in-law, Melanie, is a fabulous hair stylist based in Chicago and she created a beautiful vintage look. Amanda decided to keep her signature short hairstyle instead of growing out her hair for the wedding and Melanie was able to do a soft finger wave style that was perfection.  Thank you Amanda for sharing your special day and your photos with me.  You are beautiful!

 

 

 

Feature Wedding: Sarah weds in DC

I am so thankful that Kelley and I were able to join Sarah on her wedding day.  Kelley rocked everyone's hair and Sarah was an absolutely stunning bride.  Sarah was married in DC on a gorgeous summer day. She was surrounded by her sweet family members from Ireland and from the looks of the photos, the event was spectacular.  Sara said they even had their very own Kareoke hour.  How fun!  The photos were taken by Rachel Naft of RMN photography.  Don't you just love all the photos by the fountain.

Her dress was vintage inspired and it was a beautiful blush color.  I actually found out about one of my new favortite kids specialty store from Sarah's sister who lives in Ireland.  The flower girls dresses are from Monsoon and I am considering purchasing my daughters flower girl dress for my sister-in-law's wedding from there since their dresses are soooo darn adorable.  Have fun looking at her photos, I sure did!
