Makeup for Mothers of the Bride (& groom!) Part 3

The response to our first two Makejup for the Mother of the Bride and Groom posts has been overwhelming! And it prompted many brides to send us photos of their moms after we did their makeup the day of the wedding. The post is one of the most viewed postings on our blog, which lets us know two things.
1. Our brides LOVE their moms!
2. Moms definitely have a concern about how they will look if they chose to have makeup done the day of the wedding.

We get it! We know the wedding process in itself is overwhelming. Choosing the "Mom" dress can be a challenge in itself. So putting the moms beauty needs in the hand of professionals can take one thing off the To DO list the morning of the wedding. We'll create a look that will leave her looking refreshed and polished.

Julie's mom Ann. Gorgeous mother of the bride!

To celebrate, I wanted to share some of our favorite bridal photos from the year. Then I realized how many there are that I love. So this is part #1.

This is Abby... one of my all-time favorite brides. Three of her bridesmaids were previous brides of A-List Artistry, so working with her & her girls was like a fun reunion, catching up with everyone. And Abby is as gorgeous on the inside as she is on the outside.

Mallory's bridal makeup at Mirbeau Inn & Spa and Anyela's Vineyard

Such a beautiful day for an August vineyard wedding! Mallory chose to get ready at Mirbeau Inn and Spa, one of our favorite locations in Skaneateles, NY

Mallory and her ladies were so fun to work with. Having a larger party, Mallory had 2 makeup artists, Holly and Jessica from A-List Artistry. Hair styling by Tiffany Dewald

Love the outdoor shots at Anyela's Vineyard. A beautiful place for a wedding and reception like Mallory's!

Mallory's mom looked absolutely gorgeous in her turquoise dress. Perfect with her eyes!

Special thanks to Laure Lilliefrom Laure Lillie Photographe for sharing these shots with us. We love working with her!

The Riversedge Resort Bridal Makeup and Wedding at the Antique Boat Museum for Stephanie

A gorgeous August morning in Alexandria Bay area for Stephanie's wedding. I had only been in the area once before for a Senator's campaign commercials and it was Fall, chilly and wet. This was a wonderful change

 

Stephanie had a large bridal party and a late morning ceremony. We needed Jessica, Christina and myself to make the ladies lovely in a small window of time.With 3 makeup artists in one room, I decided to do makeup in the balcony. This was my view.

 

 

We each  make a face chart for each client after their trial. It helps us keep track of each bride's  look. We also create a signature look for the entire bridal party to keep the girls looking cohesive. They can choose from a natural or a more dramatic version.

Christina prepping a bridesmaid for her makeup application. 

Not many location offer a photographer a birds eye view! You can see I had to move into the room doorway, as it was getting too hot for makeup application on the balcony. I even got a slight sunburn out there!

Jessica always has a smile on her face when she is working!

Stephanie was such a fun easygoing bride.

Does she have the most amazing eyes, or what??

We started makeup at 6:45Am and the girls still look amazing!

 

So beautiful!

Thanks James Bass Photography for sharing these with us!
