bridal fashion report | the grand del mar

I had the pleasure of working with the beautiful girls at  Junebug Weddings  recently.  If you’re planning a wedding or just enjoy beautiful things,  it’s the place to go to find the best of the bridal world.  We had the pleasure of shooting their Fashion Report at the beautiful Grand Del Mar resort in San Diego.  Gorgeous day, gorgeous models, couture gowns, Oprah’s floral designer, award winning photographers, we had all the makings of a dreamy bridal editorial.  Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day..

Our model Sterling had amazing skin and hair already but I used the following products to give her a little extra polish..

———–

To prep and prime her skin:

Embryolisse Lait Creme Moisturizer

Laura Mercier Oil Free Primer

M.A.C Strobe cream

NARS Luminizer in Laguna

Face Atelier Foundation (used sparingly)

Makeup Forever HD Powder

———–

The color to create her super natural look:

Yves Saint Laurent Ombres 5 Lumieres eye shadows in Sahara

M.A.C. Fluid Line eyeliner in Dip Down Brown

Smashbox Brow Tech To Go

NARS blush in Madly

Smith’s Minted Rose lip balm

M.A.C. Fix +

To give her smooth/fine hair a matte texture, I used Alterna’s Thickening compound and a little salt water that we mixed up on the spot.
