It's Wedding Season!

I'm so lucky that I've gotten to work with some stunning brides over the past two months along with one of my best friends Sunny of Themba Imagery. Together, we make a pretty amazing team! I wanted to share some portraits of the brides now that they're  all shacked up :)

Blair Snow

Julie Kaloz

Congratulations to both of you ladies!

Julie & Artie

I had the pleasure of working with Julie, a lovely Bride-to-be her engagement session with Sunny of Themba Imagery. I truly enjoyed working with Julie because she was sweet, down to earth, and I'm thrilled to be doing her makeup on her big day as well! Julie and Artie are both so photogenic, I know they won't look anything less than stunning on their Wedding Day.

Blair & Keith

I was contacted by my Photography partner in crime Sunny of Themba Imagery to do makeup for an engagement portrait session for a chic bride to bride to be. Blair didn't have any stipulations about her makeup, she just wanted to it to be natural while playing up her eyes. I enjoyed working with her and Keith because they seemed like a such a laid back and fun loving couple.

I loved the blue dress she wore for the shoot, it was almost goddess like in the way it flowed. I decided to do a sultry brown smoky eye, soft pink lips, and peachy cheeks. I think the outcome was fabulous, it was like I was seeing a side of my friend that I've never before.

Introducing Mrs. Asha Singleton

I'm so grateful to have worked with such a lovely and optimistic person. Doing Asha's makeup on her Wedding Day wasn't stressful in the least bit! She was calm and collected and so we're all of the bridesmaids, it made for a great environment even on a tight schedule. The Wedding ceremony was held at Grace on Brevard, a beautiful historic monument in Charlotte, North Carolina. 

Sunny of Themba Imagery worked her magic behind the camera and even gave us a preview of the images on her blog. 

I wish you both years of happiness together!

Asha

I had the pleasure with working with one of the most easy going and sweet Bride-to-be this weekend. Asha and I used to work together at Classic Photography a few years ago and Sunday, Sunny (who also used to work at Classic) of Themba Imagery did a Friendship shoot with her and her bridesmaids. Asha didn't have any particular preferences for her makeup, so I decided to keep it nice and natural since she's a minimal makeup lady on a regular basis.

I'm truly looking forward to doing her makeup on her Wedding Day, she's even agreed to wear lashes to give her eyes that extra pop!

Bridal Portraits

I had the pleasure of working with the lovely Sunny Hutchinson, founder of Themba Imagery and Jazzmin Jolly for a Bridal shoot a few weekends ago. Jazzmin isn't actually engaged but you couldn't tell from the photos because they turned out beautifully! This was my first time just being the makeup artist while the photographer worked their magic. Here are some of my favorite photos:
