May 2, 2015 Wedding

For the most part my lovely brides are not makeup wearers.  So a light hand is most definitely needed.  I will admit when I get a bride that says "lay it on thick and I want drama", I get very excited.  But I am equally thrilled when I see a lovely bride like Megan.  Natural, radiant and comfortable with herself.  
Giving brides the ability to feel comfortable in their skin and letting them feel like themselves at their best on their wedding day is why I do this.  
Special thanks to Ambria Nofziger at 5L Studios for these lovely photos.  You can visit their website for me gorgeous work.  

Megan and her family were lovely & I was so happy to have such a natural, relaxed bride on her special day! Thank you again Ambria @ 5L Studios for these beautiful photographs.

Winter Stylized Shoot

So most of the time I say yes to things & really don't know what I'm getting into! This was one of those, but I was pleasantly surprised by the entire experience.  I posted about this briefly in my first post, but wanted to share more of that day!
Carmen Hall, who has become a lady I cherish, is a local wedding photographer.  Her company is call Forget Me Knot Photography.  She approached me and asked if I could do makeup for a winter stylized shoot.  As I mentioned, I said YES!
When I arrived in FRANKLINTON! I was a bit nervous.  I mean I grew up in the south end of Columbus, but led a fairly sheltered life.  So all the warehouses and empty feeling the neighborhood of Franklinton can give, was a bit intimidating.  We were at 400 West Rich.  It's actually an amazing Urban Arts Center.  There's a great article here for a little history.  Once inside you feel the life of the community thriving.  Art is everywhere you look and art was taking place by us! It was a great experience.

Our bride and groom have actually been married 7 years, but volunteered their time for this gorgeous shoot.  We started right away with hair & makeup.  Kristi B. did hair & makeup by me!

The designer for flowers, linens etc, was Prema Designs & they were amazing.  I was in awe! 

The cake was gorgeous too and done by Little Miss Cupcake.

And wedding attire provided by The Wedding Plantation.

 So I know it's too many photos, but I had to share! It was a really fun day & I am glad I'm impulsive and said yes to things without thinking!

My Texas Bride

Most often I just adore the bride sitting in my chair. And then occasionally I have someone who's really great. The kind of great that I wanna go grab coffee with and be friends on Facebook with! Don't get me wrong I love all my brides (well almost all! There are a few I've blocked out of my memory but only like one or two. Haha) Yet there still are a few that linger in my mind, who look flawless and have a stellar personality. Some people you just click with. 

Amber was one of the great ones.

Amber planned her wedding, a phenomenal wedding at NorthPointe  Conference Center, all from Texas. She was calm but nervous while I was putting makeup on her.  Soon she was being herself and relaxing. 

She picked a classic bridal look and it was married perfectly with her beautiful dress. We went with a clean pink shimmer on her lid and accented her crease with a soft black.  Liner and Lashes of course.  Amber chose her own lipstick and gloss.  Amber accessories showed her Texas side - Big! Big, gorgeous pearls, on her neck and around her wrist. But the icing on the cake was her hair. I mean she was beautiful when I was done with her makeup but when she got out of the stylists chair! Wow!!! I mean knock-out stunning!  

Ambers niece and bridesmaid were lovely too and it was awesome doing their makeup as well. 

Aren't they the cutest?!? 

Needless to say Amber and Brian are blissfully married and in Texas.  

She was perfection! And a very memorable bride. I was so honored to be a part of her day. 

These photos were all given to me by ShutterHead Studios. Michael at ShutterHead is amazing and did a wonderful job. He's one of the good ones. One of those who goes above and beyond at your wedding and is there if you need him. Amber's photos really reflect this. You see her and Brian's personality and even their wedding party's.  

I have a few other brides that I want to highlight and can't wait!
