Winter Wedding Inspiration Cello

The hair was styled to be “sweet” and almost ballerina like.  The hair was pulled tight on top of the head and filler hair was used to create the full bun.  A white ribbon tied in a bow finished the look.

For the makeup, I added a touch of pink color to the eyes, lips, and cheeks while still keeping the soft bridal look.

Winter Wedding Inspiration Woodlands

The hair was styled to perfection in this series.  This up-do takes on a non-traditional look by sweeping the hair and designing the hair to one side.  This look, although finished, is not pulled tight as the top is left loose with volume.

The makeup takes on a more dramatic role– but still bridal soft.  Emphasis around the eyes was achieved by rimming the eyes with a black kohl liner and adding lots of mascara.  The lips were softened with a nude gloss shade.

Winter Wedding Inspiration Pheasant

This hair and makeup look is completely soft and bridal clean.  The hair was styled with a 1″ curling iron through out and the curls were separated and styled by hand.  A soft finishing spray completed the look.

The makeup is minimal as just a touch of foundation, a little top eyeliner, one coat of mascara, cream flushed blush, and a natural lip shade were used to design this look.

Wedding Makeup: All Aboard Smoky Eyes

Sultry, smoky eyes are my signature look.  Since a teenager, I’ve been intrigued with enhancing eyes.  Maybe because its the first thing guys look at–  trust me ladies, it’s the truth!

For a recent shoot with one of Washingtonian’s top pics for wedding photography, Genevieve Leiper and I collaborated aboard a sailboat in Annapolis, Maryland with one very lucky bride. The scene was dramatic which called for drama-makeup and hair.

Makeup: I perfected her skin with Face Atelier Ultra Foundation and smoked out her eyes with MAKE UP FOR EVER’S Flash Colour Palette. A soft lip in Conquest Lip Tar by OCC finished the look.

Hair: The hair had to be a bit dramatic as well but not to over-power the entire look. I teased the hair at the root all over and gently pulled it back into a low chignon. I wanted the hair to be loose yet secure, so I gently picked through the crown of the ‘do with a rat tail comb.

Here are some of the images from the day!
