Jenny's BIG day...

I've already worked with Rachel, Jenny's big sister, on multiple occasions.  She's my favorite bridesmaid client and also such a sweet woman!  (you can see her in past blogs)

This day, however, was all about her beautiful sister Jenny.  I was so excited to do her make-up and hair.  She has GORGEOUS natural thick hair with beautiful color, and her joy on her wedding day was infectious.  Jenny doesn't usually wear tons of make-up, and wanted to look like herself on her wedding day.  I agree that bridal make-up should just enhance the natural beauty already there, but with an extra special kick that won't give you a washed out look in photos!

She also wanted her veil to sit on toward the back of her hair and she wanted lots of height at the top.  She had a picture of what look she wanted from a magazine...and we made it happen!  I used hot rollers to initially set her hair, then a curling iron to give definition and style.  For her face, I used a combination of MAC, Bare Minerals, Laura Mercier, smashbox...and a few special extras.  The snapshots are from my camera...professional shots credited to David Molnar wedding photography.

It became apparent that Jenny's hair wasn't holding curl well, and the storm could've had something to do with it!  There was a downpour that morning, but it cleared up long enough for some cool pictures that her photographer captured of the storm clouds.  And her hair still looks beautiful and soft in the photos!
