Wedding#2 Lifetime Channels “My Best Friends Wedding”

admin — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 13:39:19 +0000

So now was the time for Terri to surprise Mireja. The weddings were just a few weeks apart. It was very fun and an honor to be a part of the chosen vendors from the Lifetime Channel. It was actually a lot more work that a regular wedding. As we were applying the make-up and styling the hair, we had to start and stop so the film crew could get all the shots needed. Wow it gives you much respect for the artists that work in film….all the hurry up and wait!

As I look at these photos I wonder about the quality. Although these are nice, technology has changed the art of photography so much in the last few years, it sure dates these!

Both weddings were lovely, although I do think Terri and a few extra special features for Mireja.

So I ask again, would you like a wedding with a full camera crew? I think if I did I would want to also have a private ceremony with just me and my man…but that is my personality. I will say there was much energy and excitement.

Terri and Mireja were chosen out of a large group of girls who applied for this show. They must have had something special to be selected. At the end of the day, both girls had wonderful and beautiful weddings, planned by their best friend, the weddings were on TV, and completely Paid by the TV company. You can’t beat that. Terri and Mireja, I hope Design Visage helped make it special.

Carlo and Anna

Interesting how I met Carlo. A few years ago I went to Kenny the Printer to have a project printed. They were so rude to me that I left immediately. I walked out the door and thought what now, I need this asap. I looked across the street and saw Avanti Printing. I walked in the door and there was Carlo. So sweet, professional, and accommodating. This started a nice business relationship. Last year when Carlo told me he was going to propose to Anna (had not met her yet) I was thrilled. And even more honored when he asked Design Visage to make his Anna look beautiful on their wedding day. So here is how the story went. Now remember this is according to Carlo, so Anna if you have another version, just make a comment to set the record straight.

Anna was a good friend of Carlo’s twin sisters. They would always tell him to ask her out. Carlo felt a little funny since Anna was such a good friend of his sisters. Carlo’s whole family knew Anna and suggested he pursue her. A couple years ago Anna came to Carlo’s birthday party. Carlo’s step-mom told him that Anna was following him around the room with her eyes. So he tested it…and it was true!

After some time passed, he saw her with his sisters, Carlo realized that Anna was an amazing girl and possessed all the qualities that he was looking for in a life partner and wife. They could not resist their destiny, started dating, and were married 1 year later.

Have you ever met a couple that you just knew would be together forever. That is how I feel about Carlo and Anna. When Anna came to Design Visage for her hair and make-up preview, it was apparent what Carlo saw in her. Anna is one of the most beautiful girls you will ever meet. Although I am not just talking about the physical appearance. Anna has a beautiful soul that she carries on the outside. Carlo and Anna have a true faith that will be a strong part of their life together.

Anna’s make-up was very light, natural browns and soft cheeks and lips. Her hair was a loose low style updo, very feminine.

I would like to thank their photographer Jacob Bongiovanni for all photos.

Some of my favorite pics

Today I am going to share a collection of some of my favorite pictures, for all different reasons. As you will see, I do not choose the obvious hair and make-up pictures. I feel you want to see a feeling, a moment, a sensation. This is what I like so I hope you do to. If you want to see something else, just comment.

Just look at the beautiful skin these 2 ladies have, accented with smoky grey eye shadow and just a gloss on the lips..perfect.

This new photography style of “trash the dress” is so fun. The brides hair and make-up is much more casual than on the day of the wedding. Just a very natural look.

Photography has changed more than any other service, not just in technology but in style. With photojournalism and even one step further the model bride look.

Is this great? I remember when brides asked us if we could cover their tattoo with make-up. Now it is part of the design of the dress. Look at the eye-shadow, have to have a dominate color when you have a personal style like this.

When you are going to wear red lips on your wedding…make it about the lips. The entire make-up is subtle with a perfect red lip. The hair is pulled off the face. So classic.

These are a few of my favorite pics…I have many. Every once in a while I will share a few, enjoy.
