My Favorite Wedding of the Year!!
So, my little brother “Skip” got married last month and I had the joy of being his bride Michelle’s hair and make-up artist as well as one of her bridesmaids!! It was the most amazing day. I could not imagine a more perfect wedding. Skip even let me put a little make-up on him…what a trooper! All of these images are by the very talented Joshua Caine, who is based in the Central Coast.
Her gorgeous veil…
Putting in the veil…Can you tell she’s excited?! It warmed my heart so much seeing how happy she was to be marrying my little brother.
About Michelle’s hair and make-up: Michelle has the perfect head of hair…I simply curled it and pinned it up for a simple, romantic look. She doesn’t wear a speck of make-up normally, and I didn’t want to scare my brother by going overboard so we kept it very natural. Tinted moisturizer and a bit of powder kept her looking flawless. I did “Harmony” blush by MAC on her cheeks and we used Burts Bees tinted lipbalm for some color on her lips.
The groomsmen…My husband Ryan is second from the right.
Skip looking handsome…
Quick note about his “Make-up”…I used MAC SPF 50 Make-up primer all over his face. Along with the awesome sun protection factor (Outdoor wedding!), it mattifies the face. My husband Ryan uses it everyday and loves it. I also used a bit of powder and bronzer for color and cleaned up his eye brows. He had his own lip balm. This is what I would recommend for all of you grooms out there for your pre-wedding “Grooming” routine!
The ceremony and reception were held at Santa Margarita Ranch…isn’t it beautiful?! You can’t tell from this picture, thank goodness, but I was balling like a baby during the entire thing!! I couldn’t even stop myself!
The bride and her ‘maids!
I just love this shot of Michelle…she is such a lovely girl and it captures her natural beauty. I especially love how the backlighting gives her hair a glow from the back.
Skip and Michelle, I wish you a lifetime of happiness together. May God richly bless your marriage!!
