Congratulations, Mrs. Lewis-Phillips!

Another gorgeous Talon Winery wedding! This was the year for me with weddings at Talon Winery. Such a beautiful venue! I had the pleasure of doing Rachel's makeup on a few different occasions leading up to her wedding, and each time was so much fun! One of my favorite things about working with Rachel (aside from her magnetic personality) was her love for dramatic eye makeup! I love it when brides keep me on my toes :)

Thanks to the fabulous Mrs. Amber Schmidt of Kentucky Studio (formerly Schmidt Studio & Gallery) for sharing these beauties with me. Check out Kentucky Studio by clicking HERE

Congratulations, Mrs. Moser!

One of the things that I love most about my job, is when I get referrals from other brides who loved their makeup. Sarah was in Katie (a.k.a. Mrs. Stivers) wedding last year and I had the pleasure of doing her makeup this year while Katie was in her wedding. :) Sarah was so much fun to work with, and not only did I get to do her wedding makeup, but I also got to do her makeup for a separate bridal shoot! It's so cool when I get to do different makeup looks on the same person! Sarah, thank you so much for sharing these beautiful photos with me! You were such a beautiful bride! Hopefully, our paths will cross again one day soon. :)

Congratulations, Mrs. Mann!

This Summer, I had the pleasure of doing makeup for Rachel and her bridal party at Talon Winery. Didn't she make such a stunning bride?! I am so blessed to be living my dream and doing makeup for such beautiful people on the happiest days of their lives. Doesn't get any better than this!

Meet My Littlest One!

Well, hello out there! My apologies for being so behind on this blog..Since I last blogged, I brought this little angel into the world :) Our other little man (Brookston) is 2, and the combination of the two of them keeps me tied up when I'm not answering e-mails or working with my beautiful brides on the weekend..

Congratulations, Mrs. Bauer!!

Last weekend we had the pleasure of doing makeup for Mandy and some of the members of her bridal party. She was such a blast to work with and it's always so fun to work with military brides! I can never get enough of their beautiful proposal stories :) Thanks to Mandy and Fusion Photography for sharing these gorgeous images as well as Erin from Classic Pixels for sharing their wedding video with me!

Congratulations, Mrs. Pae!!

I had the pleasure of doing makeup for RaeAnne for her wedding last weekend, and was so excited to learn that she was working with ICVideo! They produce some of the most gorgeous work that I've ever seen. Anyone remember the video I attached back in September of Emily's wedding? You can check out their website and read more about RaeAnne and Tom by clicking here. The most awesome thing about RaeAnne's video, is that it was a Same Day Edit, meaning that it was shot and edited all in one day. They were able to play it at their reception that night! What a neat thing to be able to share with guests. I've been married for three years now, and my biggest regret is not having hired a videographer. Wishing ICVideo could have been around for my Florida wedding! RaeAnne, thank you so much for the pleasure of working with you. You made such a gorgeous bride and it was great getting to know you :) ICVideo, thanks for sharing your work with me. Hope to see you guys again soon!

An Amazing 2011!

So sorry to have gotten a few months behind on the blog :( Last year was a total blast, and it was such an honor to meet with so many gorgeous brides. Recently, I was looking back through all of the beautiful photos that my brides were so gracious to share with me, and was thinking of how much fun it would be to do a look back into some of my favorites. Really excited for another year doing what I love, making women feel most beautiful on one of the biggest and most special days of their lives. So here they are (in no particular order) for your viewing pleasure! Click below each image to be directed to the photographer's website.
