Indie Chic Bride

 Working with Bia was an absolute dream.  She is perhaps one of the sweetest people I have ever met and what makes her even better is that she gave Kelley and I complete creative liberty with her Wedding day hair and makeup.  She gave us some direction by telling us about her and her wedding but she said she didn't want to stifle out creativity.  Amazing!  So what do you get?  An absolutely gorgeous and unique bride who embodies her sense of style, beauty and individuality.

Bia and Steve were married at the Visionary Arts Museum in Baltimore and the whole affair was filled with unique Artistic details.  Bia wore a beautiful purple flower hair piece from Etsy and the groomsmen wore tidied ties.  They even enlisted the fantastic planner Cate Bucsher from Plan it Perfect Events to ensure the whole event was Eco-Friendly.

Maria Vicencio Photography was there the whole day to document the wedding and boy did they do a wonderful job.  They really captured the indie spirit and creativity of the wedding.  Maria will be posting more wedding details on her blog in the next few weeks so stay tuned for more on the fabulous wedding.

I love all of the getting ready shots with my game face on.

Feature Wedding: Lonni & Chris

I have another gorgeous wedding for all of you blog followers.  Lonni and Chris were married in October and I am warning you, these photos will make every bride want to get married in October.  The leaves were so vibrant, and even though it was a rainy day the outdoor photos are just magical.  Lonni chose Mandi White from Photos by Mandi to document her day and she did a fantastic job.

For Lonni's makeup look we went for a bronze sun-kissed look which really brought out her blue eyes.  I made sure her skin was matte and flawless and her lips were shiny but not too light that they disappeared.  Lonni's sister is a wonderful Stylist in Pennsylvania and she took care of all of the hair (she did an amazing job). The bride and her family were able to get ready in the comfort of her family home while looking through fashion magazines and sipping champagne.  Now ladies, that's the way to do it! Everyone was able to laugh and relax and spend time together instead of running around town (in the rain) making all sorts of appointments. Such a smart girl!

Lonni, you were such a treat to work with and an absolutely stunning bride.  Congratulations!

Feature Wedding: Joy and Mark Vintage Glamor

This Wedding is especially near and dear to my heart because the Bride, Joy, is my sister-in-law and the groom, Mark, is my NEW brother-in-law.  Joy and Mark were married on December 27th at The Belvedere in Baltimore.  The Amie Decker Makeup and Hair team took care of the 11 member bridal party.  Kelley beautifully styled the hair and JoAnna and I took care of the makeup.  The theme of the wedding was vintage (feathers, lace and pearls).  All of the bridesmaids wore their own black dress and black pumps with pearl stud earrings.  Since all the bridesmaids had different dresses, Joy tied everything together with long black gloves for all the girls.  It was especially important for all of the hair and makeup to unify the large bridal party also.  For makeup we went with a modern twist on 1930's glamor.  We all had dark lips black liner and lashes.  Kelley worked her magic and crafted some of the most beautiful updos that blended in perfectly with the romance of the evening.
A huge thank you goes out to the extraordinarily talented Mary Gardella of Love Life Images who documented the wedding.  She was so pleasant to have with us during all of the hustle and bustle and well.......the photos speak for themselves.  Each photo is a work of art.
Congratulations Joy and Mark, I love you!
