Feature Wedding: Kelly and Jeremy

I have sooo much to say about this wedding! First of all, Kelly, the bride, is fantastic. She planned everything to a tee and it showed. The Eastern Shore Wedding took place mostly outdoors and she had the PERFECT day for it. We had the doors open to the hotel balcony while we were hanging out, doing hair and makeup and the most wonderful "perfect day breeze" was blowing through. There was even a crab feast going on next the the hotel with live music playing for our entertainment. The smell of Old Bay was making me rather hungry, though.

Kelly and her bridesmaids were a lively group and kept me laughing the whole day. They had all known each other for most of their lives and have tremendous fun together. The mimosa's were flowing and so were the wedding mad lib's. Yes, I said mad lib's.

Kelly also had an all star cast of vendors, including the very talented Kate Headley of Kate Headley Photography who took these fabulous photos. Kate also get a fastest blogger award because Kelly's wedding was just this past Saturday. Kelly also hired wedding planner Courtney from A Sweet Soiree to make sure the wedding day went smoothly.

It was a beautiful day, beautiful bride and beautiful wedding! And I was honored to be a part of it.

Feature Wedding: Kim and Jake

Wow, what an extraordinary wedding. Kim and Jake were married on Labor Day weekend at Londontowne Gardens in Edgewater. So Jen Cody from Ego Media Photography gets the fast blogger award for posting Kim's photos already. Kim is an event coordinator at the Annapolis Marriott waterfront and comes into contact with hundreds of vendors. So needless to say, Kelley and I feel extremely honored that she chose us to be her wedding day glam squad. We arrived early in the morning and enjoyed every minute of hanging out with such a fantastic group of girls.

I just love all of her wedding day details and Ego Media captured the personality of the couple so beautifully. Allison Barnhill Designs created all of the paper items and details and Great Expectations: Flowers by Inka was responsible for the beautiful bouquets, centerpieces, and other arrangements! Enjoy the pictures and feel free to leave your comments.

I love this hair shot. Kelley did a different style for each bridesmaid but incorporated a braid into each style to tie them all together.



Kim was glowing all day.










What a great looking wedding party!



Kim and Jake had the perfect wedding day weather.











I love this shot. Maybe Kelley and I will use it for our promotional materials. What do you think?





The programs were made into fans in anticipation of a hot day.






Another great hair shot. Seriously, Kelley is a genius.





Look at my ring. Look at my ring.








Congratulations Kim and Jake!

Fresh Fall Facial

This beautiful bride is one of my dear friends Maura who was married in May at her beautiful home in Jarrettsville. Maura and I have been friends since we were four and after all of the years of makeovers we did on each other it was such an honor to do her makeup for her wedding day. Maura has been my massage therapist for years now and in June she started a new venture to become an esthetician at Von Lee International in Baltimore.

So I have very exciting news for all of you that may be needing a fall facial but do not want to break the bank. Von Lee has afternoon appointments available for facials and waxing for a SUPER inexpensive price. I think it is a great idea to get a wonderful fall facial for half of what everyone else is paying. You can check out Von Lee's website here. Make sure you ask for Maura!

Kim's Headshots

Kim is a very talented musician and actress who I had the pleasure of working with for her head shots. We were able to do two different hair and makeup looks and she really turned on the charm for the camera. Isn't she stunning? Jen Lowe shot the photos and we had the best time. She is so fun and makes everyone feel at ease. I REALLY loved doing this photo shoot, so if anybody is in need of makeup for some head shots or a "just for fun" shoot. Please, please please let me know. I love to help release the inner diva in you!
