Maire M Married March 26, 2011

Maire's wedding was elegant and timeless, it completely matched her personality. Amber and I were delighted to travel out on location to the Tacoma Convention Center so that we could provide hair and airbrush makeup for Maire and her bridal party. After we completed the beautification process, Maire's look was finished off with a birdcage veil and silk hair flower.

Please enjoy the professional photos below, compliments of Mariah Gentry.

Leanne Harter-Geer: Married July 26, 2010

For Leanna's wedding I traveled up to Bellingham where I met with her and her bridal party on location at the beautiful Lairmount Manor. The venue was gorgeous and it perfectly matched the vintage feel Leanna was going for.

During Leanna's consultation and trial we decided that her hair was the most important thing that she wanted to stand out. For her makeup she just wanted something summery and flawless with out any drama or deep color. I got things started with a primer and then applied a medium coverage coat of foundation. After that I colored her eyebrows back in and warmed up her cheeks with a light bronzer. For her eyes I stuck with a neutral palette of light browns, creams, and a bit of white gold and bronze. We used a deep brown for her top liner but did not apply any to the bottom. The look was finished off with individual eyelashes and a sheer pink gloss.

For her hair, Leanna wanted to go with a loose finger wave, circa 1940's. In order to achieve this style I set her in curls using small sections the rotated directions every other row. After setting for a few hours I brushed her hair out and applied Anti-Humectant by Aveda to keep everything from getting frizzy. I then went in with a thin comb and shaped sections of her hair into an s-form. I used a few pins to keep everything in place and then added the birdcage veil for the finishing touch.

Please enjoy the photos below of Leanna, her handsome husband, and the entire bridal party.
