A-List Artistry at Mirbeau Spa for Katie's The Lodge at Welch Allyn Wedding

The colors are so beautiful!
Katie was referred to me by Crystal Herry Photography. Crystal has been taking pictures of Katie since she was young and a dancer.
I create a face chart for each bride after their trial.

I love working in natural light when possible
Mirbeau has such great opportunity for natural light while I do makeup. I really love when a bride says she is getting ready there. Their staff is also very accommodating to bridal parties as well. Always a plus!
She loves it!

Love mother daughter shots!

We are so honored to be on The Lodge at Welch Allyn's preferred vendor list! I believe we work with more brides that get married there than any other venue. And once you check out the place, you can see why so many brides choose to book with them. Gorgeous view and endless possibilities to create a personal reception that reflects the bride and groom.
SO happy!
Even after an early morning start, Katie still looks gorgeous!

The Lodge at Welch Allyn: bridal makeup for Jessica and her girls in Skaneateles, NY

The morning of Jessica's December 29th wedding it was snowing. A lot. The drive to Skaneateles to the Old Stone Mill where Jessica and her girls were getting ready proved to be pretty eventful.Christina was riding with me to assist on makeup and we did a couple of 180's and 360's on the way to the girls and on the way home.
But the treacherous drive was well worth it to be with Jessica and her girls. Jessica's photographer, Aaron Varga  came from Pittsburgh, PA to shoot her wedding. He turned the bad weather into an ideal photo op
 He created some of the most beautiful bridal photos I have come across!

Perfect color palette for Jessica's makeup. So pretty

Pretty maids. Flowers from Whistlestop

I love The Lodge at Welch Allyn. Great ceremony space!

The flowers are so elegant. Whistlestop Florist created these masterpieces.

The umbrellas were a last minute detail. They are perfection



The Lodge at Welch Allyn is beautiful year round. But this shot at Jessica's December winter white wedding is pretty spectacular.
Even after having makeup and hair started at 9AM, Jessica still looks amazing at the end of her evening
