Katie's Wedding day airbrush makeup, Syracuse, NY

So finally Katie's weddng day arrived almost 9 months after our initial consult and engagement photo session. Katie had an early morning call time and to accomodate all of her bridal party in a shorter time period I brought along my assistant, Stephanie. All of the bridal party was airbrushed for that flawless skin look.The bridal party had their hair done at Encore Salon & Day Spa in North Syracuse.


Photographer Meghan Thomas did an amazing job capturing the special moments (and the fabulous makeup)!
Thanks to Meghan for getting me these images and letting me show off her talent.

Meghan Thomas Wedding

                              
Bridal Portrait
Meghan Thomas is a wedding photographer in Syracuse, NY. She made her decision to book me as her bridal makeup artist after photographing an engagement session I had done the makeup for. She loved what I did on Katie and contacted me to be her wedding day makeup artist.
Our first meeting was for her bridal portrait makeup. Working with a photographer as a bride is ideal. She knew what worked and didn't for photos and the importance of having long wearing products. She let me use my expertise to provide a flawless look with airbrush makeup.

Meghan's wedding day went perfect. She had created a schedule between makeup artist services and hair stylist services. All were done on location at Mirbeau Inn & Spa. It kept the bridal party together and comfortable while waiting for their turn to be made beautiful.
Thanks to Meghan I also was makeup artist for her sister, Emily's wedding several weeks ago.Hopefully photos to follow.

Jennifer's Garden Party Wedding

Jennifer was referred to me by another makeup artist, Kris Kellogg. I am so thankful because Jennifer was a dream to work with. Her wedding took place at her fiance's parents historical home in Baldwinsville, NY. Jennifer lives in Arizona, so she communicated by email her ideas for her wedding look.
I also recommended a hair stylist for her big day, Tiffany Dewald. Tiffany is my "go to" hair stylist when a bride requests a stylist. She does beautiful work as the pictures show.
We all met for the first time the morning of her wedding. Jennifer had seen our portfolios' and knew she was working with professionals. Her choice of photographer was Jonathan from Fly Me To The Moon Photo. An "up & coming" studio, as Jen put it. She had that right! Jonathan captured their day perfectly! Thanks for sharing the photos!

Amy's beautiful bridal look

Amy having her false lashes put on.
I recommend them to all brides. To all bridal party gals in fact, moms' included! As you can see they make lashes look fabulous in photo's. All of my 2010 brides have worn false lashes!
Amy's wedding was the first of 4 weddings this year that I worked with photographer Vanessa Finch. She was so generous to get me images for my portfolio & this blog. Thanks Vanessa!


Vanessa's picture perfect day

Vanessa & Kyle are both work in television in Denver. Getting married 4th of July weekend meant I would meet Vanessa for the fist time on the day of her wedding. She was wonderful to work with and entrusted to just "do my thing".
As I was leaving Vanessa's house I ran into her photographer, Vanessa Finch. This is the 3rd wedding Vanessa & I have ran into each other!
Thanks to both Vanessa's!

Bridal makeup for Pam

Pam actually worked for me years ago. She found me and asked if I did makeup for weddings. I was excited to help her plan her bridal look. We did a trial months before on a day she was visiting Syracuse from NYC. She loved it. I did her whole families makeup the day of her wedding. Her photographer from www.emanphoto.com supplied me these pictures.

Katie's Engagment session makeup

Katie & Mike
I love the family connection doing bridal makeup. Katie saw my work when her boyfriend Mike's sister, Jennifer got married. I did Jennifer's bridal party. Katie & Mike got engaged shortly after. Katie called me to book me for her engagement session with Meghan Thomas Photography and to book her wedding. She booked 10 months in advance of her wedding. Good thing, as I had 12 requests for her date after that!
