It was a lovely day back in August 2014 when we finally got together with Oriana for a test shoot at Loft 306 studio. Here are the results! Model Darby Stephens, photographer Oriana Layendecker, agency Unite-Unite, makeup and hair Alina Karaman

I met Danielle back in 2013. In her circle of friends, she is known as someone who throws the greatest themed parties! She makes it big ­ every year she has one, and the year that we met she had a Great Gatsby theme! Now she's throwing a party for makeup artist's ­ imagine all the makeup and possibilities with this kind of theme! We had a great time back then.

I was very excited when I found out that the greatest party is yet to come ­ her wedding! It was in September 2014, we drove almost 2 hrs to the venue where Danielle stayed, and celebrated her wedding.

Here are the photos
PS: Danielle's engagement photos are here

May 31, 2014. What a beautiful day it was! Not too hot, clean air and a little breeze – all you need for a perfect wedding day!

Lisa and William’s wedding took place at the beautiful venue called Inn at Kelly’s Ford in Remington, VA. The weather was a challenge – it was raining now and then, but the couple was able to have the ceremony outside, just the way the wanted it! The beautiful photos are taken by David Abel Photography.

Beautiful photos from one of our brides Kathryn, whose wedding took place in October 2011 in Alexandria, VA. Can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years since then!

We worked at Elena’s wedding back in May 2012, but met her a year earlier at the bridal exhibition. We were really honored to do Elena’s makeup because she is actually very good at it and at the wedding day she had some extra time, and actually did bridesmaids makeup!

Bridal season slows down a bit for the month of August, but will come back strong in Fall. Here are couple of photos from one of my favorite bridal photo shoots we worked on for I Am Modern Magazine, Spring 2013 issue with the photographer Monica True
