Bride Nancy.. a Natural Beauty!

I remember meeting Nancy at a Wedding show almost a year ago... how time flies!

Many of the brides I encounter have the same concern as Nancy did regarding her makeup for her wedding day. This concern is that they don't want to look too "made up". This can be very scary for brides who don't wear a lot, or sometimes any makeup on a regular basis. Why, all of a sudden, would you cake on a ton of makeup and colour to look completely different on your wedding day?

The last thing you want is for your groom not to recognize you walking down the isle! lol

With Nancy, my goal was to give her a look that enhanced her natural beauty. I stayed very neutral with her colour pallet, using champagne, and earthy browns on the eyes and peach cheeks and lips.

The most important thing to remember for any bride is that regardless of the amount of makeup you usually wear, a professional makeup artist will be able to bridge the gap between the look you want and the type of "camera ready" application necessary for the most photographed day of your life!

I absolutely LOVE this photo of Nancy and her Hubby Bill... thanks to "my" Nancy of nbphotos

for these stunning images!

Hugs and Happiness Always.... Crystal xo

Amy and Abel"s Engagement shoot!

Here are a couple of photos (courtesy of nbphotos) lol from Amy and Abel's engagement session... Amy is such a classic beauty! (Abel's pretty cute too!) hehehe

I can't wait for their wedding in December! Not only do I get to prep Amy and her girls for the wedding but I also get to be with them all day!!! So excited!

Stay tuned for photos from their winter wedding!

Kali & Mike's Engagement!

It's not everyday that I have the opportunity to work with a fellow redhead, so when I first met the fabulous Kali you could say I was a just little bit excited! Lol

I absolutely adore Kali's personal style and was so happy that she loved the natural makeup application for her engagement session with Nancy of nbphotos.

As you can tell from the photo below, Kali and Mike are all about fun. I'm so excited be a part of their upcoming Wedding day!

Stay tuned for a slightly more Glam version of Kali for her November wedding!

Until then... stay Fabulous!

Linda & Ryan part 2...the Wedding!

So... I would like to start off by thanking the talented Bassem for capturing this "action" shot! Contrary to popular belief, I don't really enjoy having my photo taken... I have my very own "Crystalized" angle hahaha... few have found it... many have tried! LOL

Thanks B!

NOW... on to the beautiful, emotional and fun filled day that was Linda & Ryan's Wedding!

I was so very blessed to be Linda's makeup artist for her engagement shoot in the summer and then again for the entire Bridal party for her Wedding day.

It's obvious that Linda is stunning, she really did make my job VERY easy!

Linda is such a sweet and caring woman. Her entire Bridal party were such an example of close and loving family and friends. It was my absolute pleasure to work with all of these beautiful women! A VERY special thank you to Linda's Mom who allowed me to touch her up with blush and lipstick! (I consider this an honour as she does not wear makeup ever!) Thank you!

Once again I was privy to the antics of a bridal party gone wild! lol I spent the day with crazy crew... the relentless rain did not hinder them! Big props once again to the uber talented Bassem who can ROCK a photo shoot in any weather!!!

Linda and Ryan... I wish you both much love and happiness always!

It was absolutely wonderful getting to know you both.

Big Hugs... Crystal xo
