I love when I have the opportunity to work with brides from my hometown! Sarah is several years younger than me, but seeing as I am the oldest of 7 siblings, if someone grew up in little ol’ Auburn, MA, chances are, someone knows someone from my family, and that was the case with this beauty. My brother told me what a sweetheart Sarah was, and he was not wrong! As I was doing her makeup at her trial run she recanted stories of her childhood with my brothers, and even visiting with one of them not too long ago. Unfortunately, as is the case with too many others, Sarah had a not-so-good experience at a trial run with another makeup artist prior to reaching out to me. Fortunately it was our hometown connection that got her in touch with me, and I’m so happy it did. It’s always so great to be another part of a local bride’s memories!
Sarah wanted a dramatic but bridal appropriate look for her fairy-tale wedding day. I created a shimmery, contoured eye on her, and paired it with black liner & lashes and a sheer pink cheek and lip. The overall feel was pretty and romantic but with a hint of drama. Here’s a peek at the look we created at her trial run at my studio.
As you’ll see in the gorgeous wedding images below, makeup tends to photograph differently under various lighting conditions. This is why we do recommend going a bit heavier than usual so that in natural light your makeup doesn’t completely disappear!

This next image is one of my favorites. Ever. I love a photo that shows the happiness our clients feel when seeing the look we created for them for the first time on their wedding day.
Amanda has beautiful freckles. Our airbrush makeup technique allows us to minimize any imperfections while allowing the beauty of her skin to show through. So natural and so gorgeous!
Look at the gorgeous eye makeup look Alexandra gave Catherine! So natural, yet stunning.
And the wrap-around braid that Chelsea created for Cat… Perfection!
Notice how natural and subtle Rachel’s makeup was – just enough to even out skin tone and photograph perfectly. Didn’t our artist Leanne do a fantastic job on her? One of the concerns we hear quite often when booking same-sex weddings is that one of the women doesn’t normally wear makeup, so they don’t want to LOOK like they are wearing it on their wedding day either. Renee did a fabulous job on Rachel’s hair as well!
