Glamour. That’s the one word that comes to mind when I think of my friend Jess on her wedding day, held a The Waterview in Monroe, CT. I knew the day I met her husband Rich, that he was the one for her and was thrilled to be such a big part of her day. Jess is beautiful to begin with, but we really glammed it up on her wedding day. Check out those lashes and the soft palette used to really make her eyes pop! Big thanks to Jen and Jerome Braga of Studio 1923 for the pictures and Matt Fink of DMO Films for being kind with his video. You can see the short film here!
This fall, Courtney asked me to do makeup for her gorgeous Bryant Park wedding and there was no way I could pass this up. Courtney is stunning, which made my job easy, but we still had a lot of fun going for a dramatic cat eye, and a very contoured look. Raw Photo did an amazing job of capturing this sleek and sexy wedding at the historic NYC building.
You are in for a treat, I haven’t posted before and after pics on my blog yet but this whole process was so exciting I decided to do a step by step. Photographer Nikki Nicole took some amazing pictures of my gorgeous bride Carrie at her DIY wedding at the Stamford Nature Center. Carrie’s wedding style was avant-garde and full of delicious details. Make sure you check out her amazing flowers at the bottom done by Datura. We loved going for a dramatic makeup look, and she just glowed. Thank you Carrie for being a good sport! By the way, check out how amazing airbrush makeup is (picture two to three!) Hope you like it:
In late September, I was given the best gift ever! The opportunity to be my best friend’s maid of honor, as well as her makeup artist! It was a wedding weekend that I will never forget, and great memories were made, in fact I wish I could do it all over again!
Kristen is gorgeous, with big blue eyes and platinum hair-she was a makeup artist’s dream. I decided to go for a silvery eye look with a nude lip and let her natural beauty do the work! The super talented Raw Photo Design team did the pictures, moho creative created a beautiful film of the day (to watch click here) and the venue in New Jersey, The Liberty House was the perfect back drop. Hope you love the pictures as much as I do!
Here are a few images from a couple of engagement shoots I had the opportunity to do makeup for. Both girls are lovely brides for 2012, and I cannot wait to be a part of their wedding day. The first images are of Nikki and the second Krista, both shot by the fabulous Raw Photo.

Thanks ladies! Can’t wait to work with you again!!
Jessica and Michael were such a great couple, I was excited to be a part of both the engagement session as well as their wedding day, stay tuned for those pics! I met them at the beautiful Aldrich Museum in Ridgefield, where they went on to have their pictures taken with Raw Photo Design. Need I say more?
Another beautiful bride from this summer! Colleen and her husband had a beautiful DIY beach inspired wedding at Lighthouse Point in New Haven, and I was lucky to do her bridal makeup! Since she has that porcelain skin and red hair, I really could have done anything but I chose a warm palette for her using Bobbi Brown’s Tulle Brown lipstick which brightened up her look! Enjoy some gorg pics from Raw Photo Design below!
I loved working with Jackie, she was fun and quirky with a great sense of style! I arrived at her home in Milford before her wedding at the Great River Golf Club, and was greeted by her family and started getting her sisters and her ready for the big day. For Jackie’s makeup, we chose makeup in the berry family to compliment her olive skin and dark hair. Check out some great photos from HK Photographry below!

Was just going through some of my favorite makeup sites and fell in love with the Bobbi Brown Holiday collection. Densely pigmented shadow sets, party palettes, oh my! Must. Get. Now. Click on the pictures for links to the site!
One swipe of eyeshadow would have been enough for this gorgeous bride, Tracey you made my job easy! Congratulations to Tracey and Joey on their beautiful wedding and thank you for having me do your wedding makeup. I had such a blast working with you and your bridesmaids and being a part of the day. Thanks to Joanne of Raw Photo Design for the gorgeous pictures.
I joined the bridal party at the brides home in New Haven, CT where the girls relaxed and got prepared for the big day. I used my Kett airbrush to create a beautiful, flawless complexion and simply used heavier eyeliner, some individual lashes and a cool eyeshadow to let her eyes pop. I also used one of my favorites by NARS on her lips, the velvet matte lip pencil in “Bettina.”
