MAMIKO & AARON WEDDING IN OWEN SOUND
A lighthouse on the water? Check! A mansion of an Inn with a Golf Course? Check! Wild St John’s Wort growing tall in the most redolant shades of pink and yellow? Check! The water glimmering in the morning light and crashing on the rocky shore? Check! A stunning bride and handsome groom? Check check! Everything was aligned to make Mamiko and Aaron’s wedding day in breathtaking Owen Sound, Ontario absolutely memorable this past September.
CAROLINE & AN’S TORONTO ISLAND WEDDING
It was another gorgeous day in Toronto for Caroline and An’s wedding this past July and I was so honoured to do #wedding makeup for this radiant #bride and her lovely bridal party. I love outdoor weddings with a glamorous bohemian vibe to them and this one was picture perfect! Here are some of the gorgeous photos by photogarpher Arden Wray.
HEATHER & JOHN WEDDING DOWNTOWN TORONTO
Also an-ex-Montrealer, Heather and I met on a bus ride one fateful day, when she got on and promptly spilled her coffee on the floor! After sharing a gigantic smile and laugh about this, i invited her sit next to me, figuring there was no more to spill, except the beans! We got to chatting and realizing we had a few close friends who had also defected to Toronto and common interests in film and music. We became fast friends and I was so happy to be part of Heather and John’s special day from start to finish, and party with her and the best of my Montreal friends.
ANDREA & TOM WEDDING IN CALEDON
What a dreaaaaaaamy couple these two are! Had such a delightful time doing wedding makeup for this class act of a bride and party this past August in scenic Caledon. The photos of this idyllic country day, perfectly captured by Jessica Lee Latone of J.Lee Photography, really show their love in the most beautiful way. We <3 country weddings!
DIANA & IVAN WEDDING AT SOUTH POND FARMS, KAWARTHA LAKES ON.
This gorgeous friend’s wedding was featured online in Wedding Bells Magazine, where Victoria Chan wrote a beautiful blog post about it and shared some breathtaking photos by Young Hearts Photography.
To me, the day seemed like a peaceful Monet painting come to life, or at least I kept feeling I was in the Poppy field at Argenteuil painting, minus the poppies! Seeing Diana walk through a gorgeous green field to meet her groom, Ivan, surrounded by high grass and seasonal blooms, close friends and family, transported me to the French countryside of the impressionists.
JULIA & DAN WEDDING AT THE MONTREAL SCIENCE CENTRE
Julia and I met through Marie-Eve and Davina, whose weddings I also had the pleasure of doing hair and makeup for in Montreal and Mexico some years ago. She and her husband Dan were my travel buddies in Mexico during Davina and Daniel’s wedding, where Julia’s Spanish speaking skills, saved us from going hungry a […]
KHRYSTYNA & ALBERT WEDDING UPTOWN TORONTO
Something that always surprises me is when brides have no idea whatsoever about what they’d like for their wedding makeup. Usually I get a not-so secret ‘secret’ Pinterest board of ideas and inspirations, running the gamut from super natural, “no-makeup makeup” to more dramatic makeup and occasionally, a very trusting bride will say “you’re the expert, whatever you think” and then it’s party time!!
ASHLEY & ADRIAN WEDDING AT CASA LOMA, TORONTO
Ashley and Adrian got married on an idyllic summer day in Toronto, at a fairy tale venue: Casa Loma. The bride has such a great sense of humour and is so easygoing, we shared quite a few laughs with her and her party on the morning of, captured so well by photographer Jon Bardhun at Seventh Step Studios.
MEGAN & AKMAL WEDDING AT THE ANGUS GLEN GOLF CLUB
A good friend of mine invited me on a wine tour of Niagara with some of her girlfriends some years ago, and Megan was one of them. A whip-smart business woman, with a passion for politics, I found her brilliant and dynamic! It was such a pleasure to meet her again some years after, and share in the morning of her wedding day, doing her hair and makeup with my hairstylist. Here are some of my favourite photos of this glamazon and her handsome beau and beautiful bridal party at the Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham, Ontario.
AMY & JOSH WEDDING AT THE FOUR SEASONS, TORONTO
I recently ran into this handsome married couple at a bar and they looked as in love and glamorous as ever. Meeting Josh, Amy’s husband for the first time, he thanked me for making his wife look so radiant on her big day- probably the easiest job i’ve ever had- because let’s face it, she is such a natural beauty! Honestly though, this was so sweet of him to say, not only because what woman doesn’t like a compliment, right?! but it was also sweet to hear such a genuine #testament from a groom, whom we don’t often meet on the day of, to his wife’s beauty on their wedding day (and always!) and my and my team’s #natural and #flawless #bridal #makeup style! Knowing most men hate make-up, this was pretty great!
