Kathy + John’s Al Fresco Swan Cove Manor Wedding

0211-JKR-Eastern-shore-md-wedding-6908

They say that brides glow on their wedding day, and that couldn’t be more true of our bride, Kathy. As for her new husband John, if smiles could light up cities, these two have enough wattage to power New York itself. Kathy + John’s Swan Cove Manor wedding isn’t just filled with love, smiles, and enough laughter to make you giggle at your screen, though. It’s particularly beautiful because it’s close to our hearts here at Charlottesville Makeup Artists as Kathy is our founder Anne’s sister.

Of course, that means we had to be part of this pair’s big day, and it was one for the books. Kathy looked lovely in her boho BHLDN gown, and her long tresses trailed down her back in a waterfall of curls. As for her makeup, we kept her look natural because that mega-watt smile was the real star.

After Kathy was ready, she and John shared a sweet waterfront first look that was basically magical (No, really, see it for yourself). Afterward, the pair said their vows in an open air ceremony under a beautiful canopy of trees, and what’s a wedding without a celebration? Sweet succulent accents, burlap runners, white linens, and neutral hues gave this boho affair a natural touch that was perfect for the al fresco setting.

Kathy + John’s Swan Cove Manor wedding was one for the books, and one we’ll always cherish. Take a look at some of our favorite images from this romantic celebration.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist Team

Catherine + Tim’s Spring King Family Vineyards Wedding

AaronWatsonPhotography0698

Sunshine, outdoor vows, and greenery galore? Catherine + Tim’s spring King Family Vineyards wedding was one for the books. From Catherine’s gorgeous smile and bright eyes to seeing this couple so in love on their wedding day, we were ecstatic to part of something so special. Now, thanks to Aaron Watson Photography, we get to share some of our favorite moments with you.

Of course, we can’t deny that working with Catherine was our favorite part of the day. This bride’s sweet smile made our job so easy. For her bridal makeup look, we went a bit more glam and highlighted Catherine’s stunning eyes (seriously, they’re gorgeous). We lined her eyes and went a bit smokier with the look before adding a nude lip. For her hair, we kept it soft and romantic with loose curls.

We’re so excited to showcase some of our favorite moments from Catherine + Tim’s spring King Family Vineyards wedding and continue celebrating this beautiful couple.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist LLC Team

Allison + Sandy’s Romantic Virginia Wedding at King Family Vineyards

favorites-55

What do you get when you combine rustic romance, warm hues, and a gorgeous bride? Allison + Sandy’s romantic Virginia wedding at King Family Vineyards, that’s what. This wedding day was punctuated with sweet moments between the bride and groom, a color palette that was rich and warm but still perfect for spring, and a bride who simply glowed. Needless to say, we are totally smitten with this wedding day.

Of course, our favorite part was Allison. This bride was the embodiment of fun on her wedding day. With her vibrant smile and laughter throughout the day, it’s extremely easy to see how Sandy fell in love with her. We decided to take a cue from her gorgeous smile and let that natural beauty shine through. Using neutral tones on her eyes and keeping things natural on her skin, we made sure that Allison’s natural beauty was the real star of the show.

We are so thankful that we were able to be part of Allison + Sandy’s romantic Virginia wedding, and we hope you’re just as in love as we are.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist Team
