As a photographer we know how important make up is for pictures. If the make up isn’t done well it definitely shows in your wedding photos. There are many brides who don’t wear a lot of make up on a day to day basis and so on the wedding day they want to look natural as well. However make up doesn’t show as heavy in a photo as it does in person so we always recommend to our brides to at least wear something and just do a little more than they normally would. Most good make up artists will do a trial run with you before your wedding day so you know what you are getting. This is a great time to talk about what colors look on you and what you are comfortable with. Danica is so great at what she does! She is sweet, flexible and knows what is going to look good on the camera! We have worked with her at many weddings and she always does a great job! She also has a blog where she explains things and does different topics regarding make up and your wedding day!
Here is our interview with Danica and a few photos from the amazing work she can do!
