When Anastasia walked into our studio I knew she would be a fun bride.  She was so detailed about every vendor, the look and feel of her wedding down to her 3 shoe options for the walk down the aisle, reception and after party.  The wedding ceremony took place at a Greek Orthodox church and the reception was at The Diplomat Country Club & Spa in Hollywood, Florida.  I created a beautiful bronzy eye with fresh pinky/brown lips and lots of NARS Orgasm on her cheeks.  For her hair we decided on a soft side red carpet updo with an ivory flower to accent her gorgeous black hair.  Anastasia’s photographer Emily Harris www.eharrisphoto.com  was out of this world! The photographs are amazing below.

I am always in awe when I have the privilege of working at the former Versace Mansion now named The Villa by Barton G located on Ocean Drive in South Beach.  This is an amazing 19,000 sq ft boutique luxury hotel, restaurant and venue space. The history on this property is interesting;  born as Casa Casurina in 1930, built by architect philanthropist, author and political reformer Alden Freeman as an homage to the oldest existing house in the western hemisphere, the “Alcazar de Colon” in Santo Domingo.  In 1937 Casa Casuarina was bought by Jacques Amsterdam, who renamed it  ”The Amsterdam Place.”  It was in 1992 that Gianni Versace first encountered Casa Casurina. Versace exquisitely restored, expanded and embellished its features by adding the south wing, the pool and garden areas.

 Today we had a gorgeous bride and bridal party from Michigan at Villa by Barton G.  Everything about this venue is unbelievable, from the hand painted walls, mosaic floors to the extravagant embellishments.   I took some pictures today while on set to try and capture all the beauty that was happening in our bridal suite.  I got a sneak peak at some of the fabulous pictures of our bride today by Ray,  I will be posting the pictures from photographer Ray Santana www.raysantanaphotography.com  Can’t wait!!!!!
