Bride Showcase: The One That Got Away

I had the opportunity last year to do hair and makeup for some engagement pictures.  It was a sweetheart of a girl planning a 2013 wedding, and we had fun working together that day.

She booked with me for the wedding day for hair and makeup.  I decided to have her come in for a practice session and do a little photo shoot at the same time.  It was a win-win; she needed a practice, and I had been needing to do some really good head shots for my portfolio.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, I did not end up booking the wedding, after all.   Nonetheless, I met a great young gal, got some really beautiful  pictures, and she got a practice that allowed her to be super specific with her stylist on wedding day, along with the use of those same pictures.

Aren’t they beautimous?  Shuh-wanda is good with a camera, thank goodness, because I am certainly not.  And what a gorgeous subject!

This bride is a crafty girl herself, and she impressed me with her hard work in creating a beautiful, memorable wedding that was also affordable.  She made a lot of her accessories herself, and was very organized with her planning.  I enjoyed working with her both for the engagements and for the wedding practice,  so I decided to include her in my wedding posts and give her a shot at the giveaway!  She is, after all, a 2013 bride…and she married a coach!  This couple has my heart.

I hope you’ll keep tuning in, because there are still two more wedding posts on the horizon… and another wedding! I love fall weddings, and the one coming up is a beautiful young woman who Coach actually coached, so it’s near and dear!  Don’t miss it!  I don’t want to leave any of my 2013 brides out, so I will be planning the giveaway for sometime around the first of November.

Next week?  Bwahahahahaha!  Bwwwahahahaha!! Halloween!  Don’t get scared…YET!
