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.
Makeup Artist- Holly Piselli for A-List Artistry
Hair Stylist- Tiffany Dewald

When these 2 greet you at the door when you arrive to start bridal makeup, you know it will be a fun day. How can you not smile seeing these cute faces? That little one i wanted to tuck on my handbag and take him home with me!

Erica was referred to me by my friend and photographer Shavonne, from Shavonne Joliee Photography http://www.shavonnejolieecny.blogspot.com/

Shavonne was shooting the wedding, to be held at one of my favorite venues, The Lodge at Welch Allyn.

 Good genes run in this family of beauties!

Erica and Chuck decided on a first look and photos before their ceremony. I love this, as I think it really makes the bride and groom more at ease the rest of the day.

Congrats Erica and Chuck on such a beautiful day!

Winter wedding wonderland

 Annie's wedding definitely had a winter theme. Set in January and in Syracuse, you can pretty much guarantee snow. And boy did Mother Nature deliver! I left extra early braving the blustery morning.When I arrived at the Craftsman Inn, the parking lot had not yet been plowed yet. So I plowed through with my kit and set up to work my makeup artist magic.

Annie wrote a really sweet review on Wedding Wire. "Flexible is an understatement - Holly drove through a blizzard to reach the wedding party! She did a fantastic job on me (the bride), my bridesmaids, my sisters-in-law and my mother. Everyone was glowing and looked great, and the best part is how natural the makeup looks. You just look like a wonderfully enhanced version of yourself after Holly has worked her magic. She spent all day with us as we got ready for the wedding, and it was like she was one of the girls we've known forever. We had a lot of fun throughout the prep, and the finished product far exceeded my  expectations."

the girls loved their airbrush makeup!

 

 

 Thanks Annie, I thought you guys were really great too! Special thanks to Shavonne Joilee Photography for the great pics. And to Tiffany Dewald for her mastery of hair design!

Shavonne Joliee Photography working her magic

So excited when I get the email from a bride letting me know her photographer is someone I love.

When Erica told me she was referred by my friend (& photographer) Shavonne. I was ecstatic.
Shavonne is the type of photographer that truly connects with her clients. We met 3 years ago. both starting our own businesses, learning along the way. Shavonne designed my website, logo and ads.
She also became a dear friend. She has photographed my daughter Gigi a couple of years ago and I still have my favorite hanging in my studio

She knows how to capture the people and their personalities.And she has a generous heart as well.
So be sure to check out her slide show of Erica's wedding. I'll be sure to post photos when I get them too

Even more excited to show you pics from HER own wedding! A fabulous affair at the Landmark.
