Melissa and Bryan November 14th, 2009Truth is, I could not wait to blog about this wedding. The photos came out absolutely amazing and Melissa just shines in every one of them!
So, you can see how I start, with a face chart of what we did at the trial run, and some notes so that I am able to re-create the look on the day of. Though, it never fails, the makeup always comes out better on the wedding day. There is something about the pressure and the setting, and the fact that we have done it before! And the second time around, we know what works and what doesn't. But for Melissa, everything worked just perfectly.

Here is a shot right as I was getting started.
During...
and After!
I lined her eyes with a waterproof black pencil, then went over it with a black shadow along the lash line. I used a copper Sally shadow on her lid and a black brown Chanel shadow in her crease. On the brow bone, I used nylon by MAC. And topped off the look with a full set of lashes. On her cheeks is mystery blush by Chanel and on her lips Lust lip glass by MAC. She looks so beautiful and radiant.
There were so many adorable little girls running around the hotel room, they made it so much fun! I believe they were nieces and daughters of friends. But, they were everywhere, and you could tell that Melissa wouldn't have it any other way.
Love this shot!
Gorgeous Mother and Daughter.
More cuties!
Finally, I would like to credit Kate Leigh for taking these incredible photographs! She was a pleasure to work with, and you can see how well she captured everyone's smiles. I know she made me smile! Thank you to you Melissa for sharing in your special day! You are lucky to be surrounded by so many loved ones. Best Wishes to you and Bryan for a lifetime of happiness!
