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.

Maternity Session with Nina Mullins Photography!

  Nina Mullins and I met while working a wedding back at the beginning of this Summer, and after talking with her, I thought she was the coolest person, and crossed my fingers that we would work together again. Then, the photos came out.. Oh my gosh! They were absolutely stunning. I had only been in Louisville for a few months, and every wedding seemed to be a new photographer, so it was neat to see every one's different styles. Nina's definitely clicked with me, and she's now way up on the top of my list. :)

    Awhile back, she contacted me regarding a maternity shoot she was going to be doing, and of course, I was all about it! For those of you not friends with me on facebook, little Grote #2 is arriving in June (sorry to all of my potential June brides, but I'm taking the month off :l).. Babies and pregnancy are definitely part of my world at this phase in the marriage game! Having the opportunity to work with another soon to be mommy was such a blast, and by the time one reaches the 8 month mark, they are definitely all about being pampered. Who doesn't need it by that point?!

   Nina blogs really quickly, so her gorgeous photos were up the next day! I'm so excited to show them to you guys. Anyone in need of a phenomenal photographer, check her out! Click HERE . Nina, thank you so much for thinking of me, and for sharing these incredible photos. Lindsay, thank you so much for letting me play makeup with you and for being a great model! You are going to be the most precious mommy. :)

Congratulations, Mrs. Abell!

  On 10/15 this year, I had the honors of doing makeup for Jill and her bridal party in Lexington. Jill was such a sweet bride, and one of my first trial runs when I moved here to Louisville in January. I love it when brides book so far in advance! It gives us an opportunity to really get to know each other and work through "the look" that they are going for. Jill really wanted a natural, glowing makeup look, but something that still had a little touch of glam. Doesn't she look beautiful?! Photos courtesy of Schmidt Studio and Gallery. You can check out more of their work by clicking HERE or HERE. Thank you all so much for sharing these amazing shots with me! (this is just a teaser...clicking on the second link will bring you to their facebook page which includes Jill's sneak peak) Jill, thank you again for allowing me the pleasure of working with you. You ladies were a blast to work with! :)

  

Congratulations, Mrs. Agee!

  On October 21st, I had the pleasure of working with Monica and her bridal party. This was my first time working out of the Louisville Glassworks Building loft, and my goodness, what a cool space! Monica and I met for the first time the night of her rehearsal dinner for her trial run, because she was in from out of town. I had the best time getting to know her, and she had one of the most fun/unique makeup looks for the year. She was going for a "Betty Draper, Mad Men-esque, Old Hollywood, Glamour look". My interpretation after talking with her a little more, meant a very glam red lip and some super winged eyeliner. When we met up for her trial, it all came together so beautifully, and my first bride to dare bright red lips this year looked absolutely stunning, don't you think? :) Monica, thank you so much for the honor of working with you all. Congratulations again, and best of luck to you both!

Congratulations, Mrs. Seagle!

    A few weeks ago, I met up with Kathleen at 7:45A to do her makeup for her big day! When we say airbrush makeup lasts all day AND night, it really does! I had such a great time getting to know her, and LOVED all of the unique touches she added to her wedding. I had to attach a photo of her stunning vintage inspired wedding dress! Thank you so much for the honor of working with you on your most special day. :) These beautiful photos are part of a set that can be viewed by clicking HERE. The photographer that Kathleen and her hubby worked with is Jessica Fey Photography. Doesn't she do some fantastic work? :)
