Laure Lillie captures Maureen's amazing day

One of the things  I love about my job is meeting new people. Brides, their family and friends, and some of the vendors they have chosen for the day. August bride Maureen was referred to me by Alexis Cohen. Alexis is the Catering Sales Manager for Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel.

Alexis is amazing with her bridal clients. She wants nothing but the best for them. Since Maureen was staying at the Sheraton, Alexis recommended me for on location airbrush makeup. Tiffany was signed on for on location hair styling and Maureen spent a relaxing morning having her makeup and hair done at the hotel.

I was so excited to learn Maureen had hired Laure Lillie for her photographer! Laure was an additional shooter on another wedding I had done, but we never got the opportunity to meet. I have been following her work and love what I see. So I knew..... Maureen is going to have some fantastic photos!

Was I right! Maureen's ceremony was at Syracuse University's campus chapel. A beautiful setting. And when Maureen slipped on her dress.... it was a moment to say the least. The cut was amazing and she looked breathtaking!

Linsday's Winter Wonderland Wedding

 Lindsay was such a fun bride. She opened the door of her suite at Mirbeau Spa in a red striped union suite pj's, complete with the flap on the fanny.
Even with a large bridal party the suite had plenty of room for me to do airbrush makeup on the entire party. I even ended up doing makeup for a guest! Thanks to my assistant Stephanie, who preps all of the girls faces, so I can concentrate on the beauty and design of each lady's look.
Hair was the mastermind of stylist Tiffany Dewald. Lindsay had extensions added before the wedding to get the gorgeous updo she was looking for.

 Lindsay's ceremony and reception were held at The Lodge at Welsh Allyn in Skaneateles, NY. All of the amazing details of the day were captured by Meghan Thomas Photography.Meghan never fails to deliver images that capture the emotion and feel of the day.

 Thank you Meghan for sending me so many amazing pictures of such a fun day.

And for introducing me to Lindsay!

New Artist added to the A-List Artistry team!

After turning away countless brides for 2011 because I was already booked, I decided it was time to bring on another airbrush artist to keep my brides happy and beautiful! Now anyone who knows me knows I am picky about who I work with. I have been looking for a while and just hadn't find someone that was the total package. I wanted someone that obviously can do amazing makeup. But I needed so much more. I needed a professional. Someone that can look, act and perform as a pro.

I volunteered to be a makeup artist along with my assistant Stephanie for the Breakfast At Tiffany's fundraiser benefiting Hope for Heather. Frieda Weeks, the founder of Hope for Heather, was a colleague in the makeup counter world. She started the foundation after loosing her daughter to cancer several years ago.

I was delighted when I got to the makeup room to see an another old colleague, Jessica Puccia. We worked at rival counters for several years and always had a mutual respect for each other. After I left MAC we had lost touch. She was exactly what I was looking for!

Jessica also has a little one named Gigi! My own Gigi thinks that is hilarious. Thanks Caitlyn Bom Photography for this beautiful shot of my new two favorite girls! And welcome to the team Jessica! Adding Jessica has opened a lot of dates for 2011. Contact for availability!
