*photos by Laurel isle Photography|MUA: Dollface Makeup

As a bride, figuring out who will do your make up is probably one of the items on your to do checklist. It's important to find an artist who will not only make you look your best but understands what kind of look you are going for. We suggest you find a make up artist who will give you a trial run before the big day so you can fine tune the details and simply enjoy your wedding day. Hiring a make up artist will help ensure that the photos of your most memorable moments show your best side.

One of our favorite make up artists to work with is Dee Dee of Dollface Makeup. Her years of experience show in the polished look she gives all her brides.

Albert & Noura

Albert & Noura's whirlwind romance culminated with a big party in Westwood a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful evening of culture, family and lots of twinkle in Albert's eye. There's nothing more stunning than a couple in love! :)

Here are a few photos from the event:

Bridal Boudoirs

Definition: A style of print that is normally a lingerie style or an implied nude glamour or similar shot in an indoor, bedroom setting.

We had the awesome privilege of shooting some intimate boudoir photos for a very lucky husband. Here are a couple of the more conservative photos :)

It was so much fun creating classy and sultry looks, can't wait to do it again. Tip for photographers, check out the Ayres Hotel, they have amazing rooms for a great day rate.

Red Tie Events

Last Saturday Diana invited me (lauren) to go take photos of her make up work for a fashion show. Even though I had a packed day, I said yes knowing it would be a lot of fun and a great opportunity to work on my skills.

We got there early and set up. It was at a down town loft, complete with gigantic fish tank down stairs. Soon Dee Dee was doing her thing and the models were being transformed. I ended up being put to work and got the opportunity to shoot the models and guests on the red carpet. It was hands on learning that ended with an awesome dance party. Now that's the kind of work I like.

Hopefully this is just the beginning.
