Cherished Moments: Francesca + Ben’s Engagement at the University of Virginia

wedding-hair-makeup-artist-best

Here at Charlottesville Makeup Artist LLC, we love making our brides feel beautiful on their wedding day, but it’s not the only moment we love. For many of our brides, they’re gearing up for engagement photos, and we adore being able to pamper them for this day as well. That’s why we’re so excited to show you Francesca + Ben’s sparing University of Virginia engagement session! And, their move over to Raven’s Roost for even more photos.

The whimsical, braided style is perfect for Francesca’s impending nuptials, but it was a bit too formal for her engagement session. For her engagement hair, we curled her gorgeous blonde locks. We further added a sweet, loose braid around the crown of her head. The braid was the perfect romantic touch that helped Francesca’s face stand out beautifully.

As for her bridal makeup, we kept things defined but neutral. With a glossy, peachy pink lip and defined but neutral eyes, her natural beauty shone through during her engagement session.

We can’t wait for you to see the stunning images of Francesca and Ben’s Engagement at the University of Virginia from Victoria Heer Photography. And brides, don’t forget, we’re here for you every step of the way!

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist LLC Team

Hayley + Sam’s Verulam Farm Wedding

While winter may be ramping up, we at Charlottesville Makeup Artist LLC are still living in fall thanks to all of the stunning weddings we were part of. Hayley + Sam’s Verulam Farm wedding was one fall wedding we just couldn’t help but share. From Hayley’s smile that could light up a room to this couple’s sweet first look, we are so happy that we got to be part of this pair’s bid day.

Of course, while every moment of this Verulam Farm wedding was beautiful, it was Hayley who we couldn’t take our eyes off of. For her makeup look, we decided to give our bride a slightly smoky outer corner to play up her beautiful natural, almond eye shape and kept the rest of her look neutral and soft. As for her hair, Hayley’s bridal updo is one of our favorites. The intricate lacing in the back added a modern dimension and texture to the classic style, and we left soft pieces to fall around her face for a romantic touch.

We’re still staring at these gorgeous moments from Hayley + Sam’s wedding day and hope you enjoy seeing their love as much as we did.

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist LLC Team

Best Fall Wedding Makeup and Hairstyles | Michelle’s Big Day at UVA Chapel

fall wedding charlottesville

The leaves are changing and fall is in full swing! At Charlottesville Makeup Artist we love how this time of year inspires rich color palettes to use for fall wedding makeup and hairstyles. Our gorgeous bride Michelle’s recent wedding photographed by Jason Jarvis Photography at the University of Virginia Chapel and Veritas Winery  is the perfect example. We spent the day creating lovely and individualized looks for a diverse bridal party and couldn’t be happier with the results. Michelle wanted a natural look and had this to say after the wedding:

 “I received so many compliments on how I looked and how surprisingly natural I looked (them also knowing that I don’t wear make up ever). My bridesmaids love how they looked and how laid back the morning was. It was truly a remarkable day. You guys made me feel beautiful and for that I am forever grateful.” – Michelle

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves and were so thrilled to be a part of such a special day!

Love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist Team
