Hello, gorgeous! I absolutely loved being a part of Faye’s wedding day! Check out her sultry smokey eye with a bold, berry-colored lip and her effortlessly gorgeous updo for her “I Do’s” at the Trinity River Audubon!

My friend Sarah is one of those girls that you’re just instantly attracted to. She’s a blonde-hair (platinum these days), blue-eyed, fair-skinned beauty with gorgeous features, legs for days, and a bohemian-chic, free-spirted style all her own (note, her whimsical-chic BHLDN gown). Not to mention her delicate but distinctive European bone structure that I just adore.
So when she told me her vision for her engagement shoot with the vastly talented Margot Landen Photography, I was over the moon! I knew her style would translate into images that were anything but your average, posed engagement shoot.
Wild hair with tight waves and straight ends with tons of carefree volume. Illuminated skin that glistens in the sun. A soft but but striking glow in a warm palette of pink, peach, gold and champagne. Naked, effortless, no-makeup-makeup. Enjoy these stunning, sun-drenched, roaming-the-wilderness images of Sarah & Thomas!
Know what I love? Spur of the moment-ness … pretty models … outdoor photoshoots … White Rock Lake …. BEN Q. PHOTOGRAPHY. Which is why I am so in love with this shoot! We didn’t plan it, it just came together organically, and it is so beautiful and effortless! Ben was on a quest to start working with photo film (rather than digital), so we set out to White Rock Lake with our model (the gorgeous Caressa Carter) to start shooting! Her hair and makeup was so soft, summery and subtle. The no–makeup makeup look, with an emphasis on a punchy, sweet, coral-watermelon colored lip! Enjoy!
Ashley is the kind of girl that you look at and think to yourself… “She’s so cool. I wanna be friends with her.” She’s effortlessly chic, down to earth, a little boho, and just about as naturally pretty as it gets. (the kind of girl who can swipe on a little mascara and look drop dead gorgeous, sigh.) And, when she agreed to let me use a more-orange-than-coral lipstick on her for her Big Day, well … that just took it to a whole different level. I should mention that since her wedding, I’ve become totally obsessed (hehe!) with Obsessive Compulsive Lip Tar). Please enjoy these ah-maz-ing images from Ashley & Greg’s big day at the Magnolia Hotel, photographed by one of my favorites of all time, Sara & Rocky Photography.

I should also mention that while Ashley’s updo was one of my favorite hairstyles I’ve done to date (golden/diamond hair accessory from White Gown Showroom), she also had a mid-reception gown change and hairstyle flip! Her glamorous waves were perfectly topped off with an chic, oversized flower comb!
