Being a part of her wedding was such an honor. She was the sweetest, most caring and attentive bride.

In between brush strokes, she gushed about how happy and lucky she was to have me there and literally showered me with compliments…

Oh, Sweet Lizzy… It was ME that was the lucky one.

I mean, come on. Just look at this amazing bride.  That skin, the cheekbones, those eyes.  Ahhhhhh.

Congratulations to Lizzy and Matt.  I adored working with you, Lizzy.

Allow me to tell you about this wonderfully fresh, cherub-faced beauty.

Her unassuming nature and contagious laugh were the first things I noticed about her when we met  for her makeup trial at my house.

Her looks immediately conjure the gorgeousness of the past.   Her look beckons back to the days of peachy fresh, creamy skinned maidens.

Soft, muted, pretty and ethereal like the  late 18th century faces of Duchesses and Princesses. 

Rachel made a most exquisite,  lovely bride.  She was just as wonderful to work with as she was stunning!

 This makeup look is understated and natural. Notice that it photographs perfectly and looks as though she is barely wearing makeup.

I used false lashes fitted seamlessly to her eyes, played up her perfect skin and kept it all soft, soft, SOFT.

The blush looks like it’s naturally her pinky cheeks.  No bronzer for this girl. It’s all about creamy skin.

Her eyes were just smoky enough to bring them out but still looks pretty – not overdone.

Take a glance at a few of her girls.

 This is a great example of timeless, classic makeup.

The emphasis is on the eyes but the skin also looks luminous and glowing.  Soft and ethereal, Sarah was so pretty with her natural makeup and perfect skin.   Lashes look so feminine and perfect in pictures.

Love the way she looks with her eyes cast downward! 

Playing up her divine milky skin tone, decolletage and perfect strawberry blonde hair color,  Jen was the picture of femininity. Her mom was so excited that day and wanted a really natural look.  Natural and with a little flare of lashes.. she loved how she looked! I love her glowy skin.

She exudes confidence and gorgeousness with that look.

Look at those eyes.  She is seriously amazing.

Her  bridal party was lovely and so much fun. This is a group of girls that will be together for life.  This is Amanda’s sister – her reaction when she first looked at herself in the mirror after makeup.. “Wow! I look really hot!”  I LOVE IT!!Girls, don’t overlook the importance of makeup for your mom.  Sweet and unassuming,  Amanda’s mom was pleasantly surprised at how much she really liked her makeup.  It’s more than a treat.  It’s the way your mom deserves to feel, too.

I had the pleasure of working with Leena two times prior to her wedding day. Once for her bridal trial run and again for her boudoir session with Heather.

So, it was no secret to me that Leena was going to be a stunning bride!

The entire morning getting the bridal party ready was relaxed, filled with laughter and much love.

I have the most incredible job.  To be a part of someone’s wedding day is a privilege that is never lost on me.

Glowing, ethereal and so romantic.

I absolutely love how her skin looks in this picture.  Okay,  I absolutely love how EVERYTHING looks in this picture! What a gorgeous couple!

Sometimes Mothers of the Bride are a bit hesistant to get their makeup done.

This was NOT the case with Ellen! She LOVED it!!

Look how beautiful she is!

Stunning and vibrant – she enjoyed every minute of the experience of her daughter’s wedding day.  This was such a fun morning!

That’s me.  Did I mention I love my job?Look at those lashes. Are they hers? I’ll never tell…

Fresh, pretty and glamorous all at once.

Despite being booked for her date, the planets aligned and the timing worked out perfectly for us to work together again.

The results are some of  my favorite images ever.

Those smokey eyes and that skin – I could just stare at her all day.
