Brittany's Southern and Sweet Bridal Portraits

I love when I get the chance to work with friends from college! This post is long overdue because I recently took on a new position at Laura Mercier and I've had a hectic schedule in between getting adjusted to my wonderful new job and freelance work.

Brittany and Brad tied the knot at The Legare-Waring House in Charleston, South Carolina May 26th.  The venue was beautiful and rich with culture, I felt like I had stepped on set for The Midnight in the Good of Good and Evil. Before the big day her bridals were taken at the same venue by Captured by Kate Photography. Everything turned out beautifully and I'm so happy I was able to be apart of it. We're all growing up now!

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. 

Austin & Chris

In the beginning of September, I had the pleasure of doing makeup for a lovely bride that I've know since college. Both of them are amazingly talented, Chris is a photographer, Austin a writer and both are getting their Masters at that! The feel of the wedding was nothing short of southern and sweet. The wedding felt like a Winthrop reunion because I was able to catch up with people that I haven't since Graduation. Photography was done by friend and fellow Winthrop Alum Dustin Shores and the photos are just stunning! 

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!

Sarah

I had the pleasure about a month ago working with the sweetest bride doing makeup for her Bridal Portraits. She was so pleased with her look that I'll be doing it on her Wedding day this Saturday and she's actually coming into the store the day off so that I can airbrush her with our fabulous TEMPTU Airbrush System.  We've been e-mailing back and fourth over the past few weeks and she's giving me a copy all of the photos and will send me some from the Wedding when she finally gets those back. Truly a doll! And beautiful! She sent me the portrait that will be on display at the Wedding:

She said she has bad allergies so in the closer shots her eyes were puffy. I can definitely relate, I'm a walking allergy.

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!

Just a Reminder!

I know I have quite a few friends who are getting married in the upcoming year so if you lovely ladies need a make-up artist for your wedding day, I'm your girl! I'm willing to travel throughout North Carolina and South Carolina area working with the bride, bridesmaids, etc. This is your day to shine and I would love to do that for you.

Contact Information:

Email: latishamelissa@gmail.com or you could even send me a Facebook message. I would suggest to book at least two months in advance and we can discuss further arrangements from there.

Congratulations to you all!
