Stefi & Joe

I couldn't have been happier to celebrate my beautiful friends Stefi & Joe.  Their nuptuals were exchanged in the hometown of this beautiful couple Stowe, VT.  The reception was hosted at the home of a close family friend of the bride.  A warm summer day surrounded by natural wild flowers and green mountains made for the perfect outdoor wedding.  

Stefi wanted to look like an A+ version of herself.  For her bridal hairstyle we featured a loose half up twisted 'do with beachy waves and wispy hairs gently placed around her face.  For her makeup, she needed a bit more coverage so we focused on using sheer layers of full coverage concealer and foundation to make her skin appear flawless.  I kept the focus on her eyes, complimented with full lashes and a neutral toned lip color - this bridal beauty was ready for the day.  It was such a pleasure celebrating you two, Congratulations!!

Marielle & Dennis

If you have dreams of dancing the night away in NYC under the stars, Tribeca Rooftop might be your digs.  This amazing couple incorporated details to their wedding day that were unexpected and yet so tastefully done.  They personalized the back window of the NYC taxi, monogrammed the main entrance of the restaurant, and even had a hot pink neon sign hanging over the bar at their reception featuring the new couple - The Heatons.  

Marielle wanted a classic and clean look that would compliment her Vera Wang gown.  Together (with the help of some extensions) created a side swept updo, with an emphasis on soft hair around her face.  She wanted a fresh faced make application with focus mainly on her eyes and an accentuated light pink lipstick, the brides fav, by Tom Ford.  We loved getting you and your bridal party ready for your most special day, Congratulations Marielle!

Jessica & Josh

This couple found the perfect venue to make their boho-chic dreams come to life.  The entire day was filled with fresh flowers, natural wood, candles, romantic scenery, and most importantly a whole lot of love.  The portraits of this couple on their wedding day are so beautiful and truly highlight how happy they are together.  

Jessica wanted her boho chic wedding day theme to be carried throughout her hair and makeup on her big day.  Her hair featured undone beachy waves with a custom fresh floral arrangement designed by moi.  I used a handful of fresh flowers to create the hair piece design to compliment her half up style.  For her makeup, Jessica wanted something a little more dramatic.  I used a slightly fuller coverage foundation and did more of a traditional smokey eye on her, the lip color was a pink mauve.  I hope you danced the night away with your new MR, congratulations to you both!!

Shannon & Joe

This rustic wedding was held at the historic Waterloo Village in Stanhope, NJ.  It was a fall day that still felt like summer which couldn't have made for a more perfect outdoor ceremony.  The grounds of this venue are breathtaking, covered with historic buildings, natural streams, and beautiful trees Shannon and Joe has a gorgeous setting for pictures.  

During the bridal trial with Shannon she expressed wanting to wear fresh flowers in her hair.  On her wedding day I created a custom design with the natural flowers she provided to match the decor and natural setting of her venue.  Shannon looked stunning, and her hairstyle is one of my personal favs.  We also had so much fun working with her four sisters and both the mother of the bride and groom before sending this beautiful bridal party off to enjoy the rest of their day.

Steph & Scott

This beautiful backyard wedding was hosted at the family home of the bride in Cheshire, CT.  It was the perfect summer day to celebrate such a stunning couple.  Dara and I traveled out to the brides home in Connecticut to work with the bride and bridal party, six beauties in total.  

It was a hot summer day, the focus for all makeup applications was long wear and waterproof.  The goal was to combat any unwanted shine on the skin, and also keep these gals looking amazing until the end of the night.  Prepping the skin properly for each client, and using sheer layers of matifying foundation aided in giving these gorgeous gals a natural glow that wouldn't look too dewy in the professional photos.  Everyone loved how they looked, I couldn't have been happier with the results.  These babes made my job easy!  Congratulations Steph & Scott I am so happy to have been a part of your gorgeous day.

Angela & Sean

The magical union of this special couple took place at The Boathouse at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY.  The breathtaking views of this BK gem were so stunning I don't think you could dream of a more perfect summer wedding.  

I worked with Angela to perfect her wedding day makeup style.  It was her focus to keep the skin glowing and not too dewy.  While it was humid, we wanted her skin to look hydrated and fresh, and lightly sculpted to enhance that natural bone structure.  We enhanced her eyes with a gold-toned smokey eye finished with a fluffy full lash for a little drama :) It was such a joy getting to know you Angela, Congratulations to you and your Mr.  XO
