OK here is my first Bloopers video, I am getting better at this editing thing even though it makes me CRAZY!!!! I have had such a fun time creating segments, taking my little camera to the islands with me and capturing all our fun locations. Thank you to all my brides, models, stylist, cute half naked boy and of course my little Boston Terrier.  Keep a look out for my next bloopers video!

Enjoy……

Sweet, beautiful and a joy to work with meet Kelly one of my brides this past spring season. Kelly and her girlfriends came into the studio last summer full of life and lots of champagne for Kelly’s trial run. It’s so much fun to have the girls in my studio’s living room talking about all the wedding details, drinking champagne and being super girly. I loved the look Kelly picked from her dress to her hair it was very high fashion, she was so cute she knew exactly what she wanted from the hair piece she brought with her to Kelly’s LOVE of lots of lashes. Take a look at her photos below by NeoArt  www.neoartphotography.com Jason and Ela are amazing and so easy to work with. I love the pictures they capture Kelly’s beautiful spirit and elegance.

Congratulations Kelly and Brett!

Kelly Glowing!

Kelly and her super cute hubby!

I was delighted when Amy Hill wedding photographer extraordinaire www.amyhill.net came to my studio a couple of weeks ago to capture the pink and girly essence of Fresh Beauty Studio. Amy has a unique eye when it comes to capturing your wedding from the smallest details of your pedicure color just happening to be blue to the emotion on your finance’s face when he has no idea that there is a camera near him. I was so excited to see the final pictures of my studio and share them with you. Amy captured all my “little details” from loving Gerard Butler on my vision board to my pink paris book on my dresser. Thank you Amy for capturing Fresh Beauty Studio in a Fresh and Beautiful way.

I love this new wedding dress collection by Carol Hannah, Inspired by Charleston, South Carolina’s high society and luxe boho vibe, the frocks are sassy and sophisticated without being stuffy. Made of 100 percent silk (organza, chiffon, duchess and hammered satin, charmeuse), the collection focuses on flattering silhouettes with details like handmade trim, textured fabric, handmade flower appliques, and perfect draping.

Options include long and short hemlines, flowy and form-fitting styles, and white and ivory hues. www.carol-hannah.com

Here are two of my favorites:

Check out Alissa’s beautiful wedding on Modern Photographers website http://www.modernphotographers.net/tag/fresh-beauty-studio/ 

Fresh Beauty Studios sister company is A Pretty Event www.aprettyevent.com we had the wonderful opportunity to plan and be a part of Katelin and Lee’s wedding this past weekend.

Pink, Chocolate brown and lime green were the colors our bride Katelin picked for her beautiful wedding this past weekend at The Hilton Fort Lauderdale www.hilton.com. Katelin and Lee live in New York City and knew exactly what they wanted when they booked the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort from the beautiful beach back drop, pink straws in the delish mojito’s to the limes in the bottom of the vases. Zena Hawes is the catering manager at The Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort and when we say she is on top of her game we mean it. Amanda (one of APE’s wedding coordinators) worked hand and hand with Zena to create this beautiful event. Amanda and Zena had a great time decorating the Bridal Suite in A Pretty Event’s signature style with the new letter of our Brides last name on the bed in rose petals. We love how a trail of rose petals to the suite sets the tone for a very romantic night. Flowers were by Dalsimer Atlas, Photographer was Maloman photography, Photo Booth was by Shutterbox, wedding cake by We Take the Cake.

We can’t wait to see the pictures from Stephan they are truly going to be “Pretty”. I will update the blog with pictures from the ballroom, getting ready shots etc from Maloman Photography in the next couple of weeks.

The most beautiful bouquet we have seen with pink peonies.

Wheat Grass boxes were used to hold the escort cards under a beautiful orchid branch arragement.

Kelly looked so beautiful this past Easter weekend with her glowing smile and zen energy. Kelly was such a sweet bride to work with, she knew exactly what she wanted way back when she came into the studio with her girlfriends in July 2009. I remember Kelly was very strong with wanting a very high fashion yet vintage look for her wedding. She nailed the look with a very feminine white flower with feathers, it was the perfect accent piece for the vintage look. For her hair I created a high front and lots of texture with curls for her side bun very a la red carpet. Makeup was a smoky eye with espresso and gold tones, I put on new false eyelashes we just got into the studio for a Kim Kardashian look and Kelly LOVED them. I usually apply individual false lashes but the look Kelly wanted to achieve I couldn’t get with lashes that were all the same length so I opted for the more dramatic strip lashes; as you can see from the pictures her lashes were still not over done.

Her photographer was Neoart www.neoartphotography.com I love working with Ella and Jason they are professional and very calm on the day of the wedding. I can’t wait to see Kelly’s photos from NeoArt I will be updating this post once I receive them. Congratulations Kelly you looked beautiful and completely classic.

I have been on a mission looking for the perfect rehearsal dinner look for my bride Emily (she is so adorable and lives in the Big Apple) for this Friday night. While working out at the gym (this is where I find most of my inspiration) I was flipping through the March issue of my favorite magazine InStyle and saw this amazing gray smokey eye on JLo. YES!!!! I found it! the perfect amount of smokiness paired with chic sophistication. I love creating a totally different look than the “Bridal” look that we do on the wedding. The rehearsal dinner is a night where you can be sexy and go a little darker than you would on the wedding day. I am not going to go as dark as the smokey eyes on JLo in this picture but a variation of this look that will show my brides beauty and personality. I will be using NARS in Paris (you know I almost died when I bought this last year, my love for Paris on my eyes? couldn’t get any better than this.) Very Sexy shadow from Victoria Secret in Wink, either Feline or Smolder liner from MAC, NARS cheeks in Nico, NARS Multiple in Orgasm and NARS bronzer in Laguna. Lips are a new spring lip color from NARS called Cruising and gloss in Ophelia. I will be posting in the next day a tutorial on my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/freshbeautystudio so you can create this amazing look for your next night out.
