A couple of wks ago I had the pleasure of doing the makeup and hair for Award Winning Wedding Photographer Lisa Mark's first workshop. You may remember we worked together in the Fall on that beautiful styled shoot on the cliff that showcased the changing of the leaves. She put this workshop together to help newer photographers see and learn some of her tricks and techniques for lighting wedding shots during the day and night.
I thought this would also be a fun opportunity for me to do what I wanted with a "bride" (since normally I obviously have to do what they want lol). The couple for the day was real life couple Andrea & Billy and they were really lovely and great sports b/c it was a REALLY long day and I'm sure tiring to be modeling for Lisa + 10 students for both the Day & Night Portion of the workshop (they agreed to do the whole day after the original night time couple cancelled). It also was a great opportunity for them as Lisa was booked on their real wedding day so I guess getting these pictures is kind of like the next best thing lol!
For the day look I wanted to work w/ pinks and grays on the eyes. I wanted to keep it soft and glowy b/c I knew I was going to go a lot more dramatic for the night portion. The cooler tones worked beautiful w/ Andrea's pale skin and dark hair. Airbrush foundation was used to create her flawless complexion. For the hair I wanted it loose w/ curls pulled to one side. I never met Andrea before but I knew from the pics I saw she was going to need extensions to get the fullness and length I wanted. And can I just say without meeting her I did an amazing job choosing the colour for the extensions lol! They were a PERFECT match! I got a couple of nice pics from Lisa and one of the other photographers at the shoot Johanne Guignard (who probably took my fav beauty shots that day).
For the night look I wanted something much more dramatic as I knew the lighting was going to be very dark. I think Andrea was a little scared at first by the intensity but once the lights went down in the studio she realized it all made sense...which is something I'm constantly trying to explain to clients when it comes to a more intense look at the reception lol! I went w/ a sophisticated side updo. Bold grey/black smokey eye and a deep berry red lip. I personally believe in dark lighting and w/ the right features/skin tone there is no reason a person can't rock both a bold lip and intense eye. It's definitely not a look for the shy or meek but it's personally something I wear on the regular when going out.
So overall some nice additions for my website!
