We've met with Beth a year before her wedding for an engagement photo shoot, and finally here are beautiful photos from her June 2017 wedding! Photos by ​Rebecca Watkins

It is always great to browse around and find photos that were not posted yet! Here is a gallery from Olga and Adam's wedding, back from October 2015. Olga had a very unique veil, I love this vintage feeling! Hair by stylist Erika 

Kara's wedding was an "emergency booking" - she had the hair and makeup arranged at the salon, but something fell through, and she contacted us on a Sunday morning, a week before her wedding! We set everything up in just couple of hours, and met for the trial just a few days before Kara's big event! Her story inspired me to write my other blog topic "On location hair+makeup on your wedding day vs going to the salon" And how surprised I was when found out that her photographer was Darling Photographers, wonderful person and great professional, I knew photos will be amazing, and here they are!

For this photo shoot, I wanted to show different ways of wearing bridal pieces - who knew they can be so fun to work with!
It was a great time shooting, because the model is a very good old friend of mine, and she is a makeup artist herself, it was her first time modeling for this kind of shoot!
The photographer Tatsiana is a good friend of mine that I've met here, in US, 7 years ago. She is super creative and can shoot for hours non-stop! She mainly shoots family/lifestyle and weddings, but we collaborate for fun projects like this from time to time, and I always love the outcome
Thankful for Hair Comes the Bride company - they've been wonderful to work with, and their pieces selection ware great to work with - there were so many more, but we only had so much time to shoot the looks.
It was my first time selecting the clothing for the shoot and pushing the view no one approved at first. But I am very happy with the results, and our whole team as well!
