Well , lets start from the beginning. I was contacted by Rachel to photograph engagement , bridals and her wedding day. She also requested that I do her hair and makeup which is a service that I also provide.
We started with engagement where she wore her grandmothers dress from the 1940's and we shot near the track where she was married incoorporating the horses that her and now husband work with and love. To play off the vintage dress we used a GHD straightner to obtain curls that stay. Then losely pinned over one side using an antique broach to adorn the hair. Cosmetics for that shoot :
Clinique Even Better Foundation in 05 Neutral
laura Mercier Transluscent finishing powder

On the road for bridals
After much discussion and viewing photos of Rachel's gown , we decided on the side pinned curls for bridals , we felt it complimented her face as well as the simplicity of her gown. We used a feather hairpiece for the shoot . Took the show on the road to Beaufort county and captured Rachel in all of her beauty as a group of spectators formed and snapped their own photographs as a souvenier from their stop at the historic location.

The BIG DAY!
Much of the cosmetics were the same as was the hair for wedding day...
With the exception of the feather hairpiece was replaced with live Hydrangas in Rachels hair ..which turned out to be incredibly beautiful.
People think I am somewhat insane for taking on hair and make-up and shooting a wedding. I have found that while YES it is a task , it also helps in achieving the photos that I do , because, I have time to get to know the bride, her likes and dislikes and "bond' if you will :) They are much more relaxed for photos which in return gives them something that they and myself are happy with. So all in all .. I love it and I have that personally to offer my clients as I am having fun and making friends and have happy clients
