Feature Wedding: Amie and Nathan: Vintage Love Bird Theme

I LOVED everything about this wedding.  Not only do the bride and I share the same name but we have also been friends since we were kids and it was such an honor to be her makeup artist on her wedding day.  Amie and Nathan were married at the Baltimore Zoo and I have to say, I was a huge fan of the venue.  The ceremony was outside in front of a lily pond and the reception took place in the mansion house near by. The detail shots are at the bottom of the post in a collage put together by Meaghan Elliott.  The paper products were designed by Paper Possibilities and all of the details for the wedding were so creative and thoughtful (right down to the makeup and hair).  Kelley created an amazing 1940's inspired style for Amie, complete with the birdcage veil.  We went for a vintage feel with Amie's makeup also but modernized it with the hot pink lips which are very big this season.  LOVE it!
When Amie told me she got engaged she asked what photographer she should hire.  I was so happy when she decided to go with Meaghan Elliott Photography who captured the day so beautifully.



Fantastic Wedding!  Congratulations Amie and Nathan.

RusticTrash the Dress Session: Makeup and Hair

What a fabulous team I have!  I have one last trash the dress session to show you from the all day photo shoot we did with Meaghan Elliott Photography "down on the farm."  I love Meaghan's photos!  I wish that I could just carry her around with me all the time so she could always take pictures of my life.  Our beautiful model is Tina and she actually just had a baby 10 weeks ago. I know, I wouldn't have believed it either if I wasn't holding the baby.

JoAnna did another brilliant job with Tina's makeup, and Kelley was able to style Tina's extremely long hair in a beautiful updo.  Kelley is a hair genius.
Thank you so much Tina for being such a wonderful Muse

Feature Wedding: Aimee and Michael's Wedding at NAVY

Over here at Amie Decker Makeup and Hair Artistry, we had a lot of Amie's going on this weekend.  We worked with Amie and Nathan on Friday (photos coming soon) and Aimee and Michael on Saturday.  Saturday morning JoAnna and Kelley headed off to Annapolis to get Aimee and her Bridal party ready for a beautiful Naval Academy wedding.  The rains held off long enough for the photographer, Liz Hough Photogrpahy, to capture some beautiful outdoor photos of of the couple.

We have a lot of Navel Academy weddings this season, which is very excited because it is such a beautiful location for a wedding ceremony.

Aimee and all of her girls got ready at the Lowes hotel in Annapolis.  It makes the wedding day so much easier to have a hairstylist and makeup artist come to your suite so you can relax with friends and family.

Congratulations Aimee and Michael!

Gorgeous Trash the Dress: Maryland Hair and Makeup

You know I love pretty pictures so I have to say that I am extra in love with these pictures.  Grace was one of our models for the photo shoot we did with Meaghan Elliott Photography this month and she was so excited to wear her gown again.  Could you blame her, it is stunning.  JoAnna did an extraordinary job on the makeup and Kelley worked her magic on Grace's hair.  I really do not have much to say about these photos because the beauty speaks for itself.  Enjoy!

For those of you who have not even looked at your dress since the wedding day and are up for some gorgeous trash the dress photos, contact Meaghan.  This spring would be a great time to set up a TTD session.  Make sure you contact us for makeup and hair too!
