Marie's Bayshore Grove wedding- Makeup & Hair

It was hot outside in July, but Marie remained cool as a cucumber in the luxury of the A/C suite provided for her wedding party at Bayshore Grove in Oswego. It was my first wedding there and it is a makeup artists dream. One wall is a makeup/hair station! Great lighting!
Marie booked Tiffany Dewald for hairstyling and had her add extra hair for that extra WOW factor.Of course we added false lashes as well! Marie and her bridal party had airbrush makeup applied and despite 95 degree heat, looked great til the late hours of the night.
Photos provided by the talented Crystal Herry. Her images capture each bride's beauty in unique ways. If her name and work sound familiar, she photographed Megan Thomas's wedding and her image is on my company's advertising. Love her work!

Bridal Photo Shoot - the Dream Team is back!

What do you get when you add a pro airbrush makeup artist(me ), master hairstylist(Tiffany) and pro wedding photographer(Kim)? Alot of creativity awaiting an outlet. We all love our brides and the beautiful images they provide. Well we thought... what if we had creative control for a day? We choose the whole concept with things we loved that are on trend right now. We called in Chelsea Miller & Jackie Nastri to model some amazing dresses provided by Spybaby Boutique in Armory Square.
Jackie has the perfect features to carry a bold lip with a more neutral eye. She has impeccable eye brows that complete the sculpted look. I wish more women would give their eye brows this much attention! Tiffany added red and black feathers in a piece in Jackie's hair to compliment the red lips.
I designed each girl a bridal bouquet with faux flowers and feathers.
Our shoot location was provided by Alexis Cohen. She is the Catering Sales Manager at Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel and Conference Center . It made a beautiful backdrop for our brides.

I also borrowed an amazing peacock feather hairpiece for the shoot. The headpiece is created by local designer Danielle and available at Showoff's Boutique in Armory Square. It was a unique touch to Chelsea's look. Showoff's offers complimenting pieces that look great for bridesmaids.
