These photos are from the trial and wedding day of a special client who is getting married this month. She's special because I met her back when I worked for Chanel. She came in the first time to have her makeup done before a first date. She had briefly gone into her story that after a long relationship with her previous boyfriend things ended...lets just say "disastrously". She once again was ready to start to date and was going on her first one.
The guy didn't work out but she searched on. She came to me about once a month, before a big date of course, to have her face glam'd up. The guys turned out to be nothing special, but she felt good about herself again and we had a blast discussing her adventures.
Well, blah, blah, blah, I run into her randomly ... a FrEaK accident last month. I stopped in somewhere I never go with an EMERGENCY Blackberry proble .She jumped out of no where and told me she had been searching for me, but after Chanel, she found no one who knew where I was working.
She found Prince Charming and was getting married in ONE month. We did a trial that weekend and the wedding day was scheduled for an early morning call. She was a beautiful bride , not one who wanted the traditional bride look but an exotic J-Lo look, hi-drama eyes!!
She asked for a pink cheek and lip at the time, however after we saw the digital pics, we decided that a neutral lip and bronze cheek was best. Also, I saw that under her eye was photographing way too light and
I would use a different under eye coverage

For this reason, it is critical for any bridal work to do a trial with photos before. Had this been the
actual day, I would have not had the best results and I also knew what she needed so I organized
a separate " personalized" kit so I didn't have to drag all my gear. More importantly, it is the only was to truly critique the work and perfect it for the big day.
