It's so great to work with a family more than once on events. Everyone feels comfortable and at ease because they know we are professionals. The Geratys are one of those families.
Rosanne was an A-List Bride in 2011. Her brother is Nicole's groom!She arranged for Jessica and Maria to be there for Nicole's day as well. Thanks Rosanne!

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.

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!


Denise's Winter White Wedding Makeup Syracuse NY

Just a quick post on Denise and her gorgeous winter wedding. We had plenty of snow that day and it made everything sparkle. So pretty!
Denise and her girls had me come to the hair salon they were at to do the airbrush makeup.
 I had already completed everyone and was packing up to go my next client when the stylist took the cape off Denise and we saw she had hives all over her neck and chest!
 I quickly unpacked my airbrush compressor and did a thin layer of foundation over the area with hives. Problem solved and she looked great

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.

Some of my favorite shadows for bridal work in my leopard Z-Palette
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!


Mirbeau makes such a perfect backdrop for these photos

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!

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

Bridal Makeup Artist for Shavonne

I love all of our brides... I really do. They each have unique stories. The fact we get to be such an intimate part of their biggest day is really touching. But when we get to be a part of the day of someone we know and love? THAT is the best feeling!

When my dear friend Shavonne asked me to be her bridal makeup artist, I was thrilled to say the least. I think she asked me before she was even officially engaged! But being a photographer, she understands the difference having a professional come to do your makeup can make in the day.







The coolest thing about these photos are that Shavonne shot these herself, before her photographer got there.
