As a girly-girl, there are certain parts of a wedding that I’ll never stop loving. Like casting my eyes for the first time on the glorious shoes some of our brides have picked out. Or the amazing designer gowns that have been custom fit just for them. I’m not ashamed to admit that I completely live vicariously through some of our brides. Then there’s the girly part of even getting ready…having your hair styled and perfected. And even better…sitting in a chair while a professional applies your own makeup. I mean, how many times in your life do you get to feel like a rockstar that isn’t even allowed to apply her own mascara?? And there’s no doubt, it definitely makes a difference to the final look when a professional is involved. On top of that, it adds to the feeling that you’re up to something special that day. If you’ve never had a professional makeup artist give you a complete look, you are so missing out. I’ve had the honor a few times while on photo shoots and you walk away *knowing* you look hot. It’s pretty cool!
Katrina Hess (her website is here) is an incredibly talented makeup artist in Boston who is in super high demand. For really good reason, too…her work is so beautiful. Katrina has not only worked on many of our brides on their wedding day – I’m a past client, too. (Insert crazy info-mercial music here!
) So I can personally say that she is one of the best here in Boston. She won the Best of Boston award several years in a row and has been featured in tons of magazines and local television interviews.
Recently, Katrina contacted us about working together on creating a new ad campaign for her, and we couldn’t wait to get started. Rene has a passion for fashion and commercial work and he rocked it yet again…in that strong, mellow way that we all know and love. Katrina booked a model and then began creating different looks that Rene would photograph for upcoming print and online ad campaigns. Our model, Jennifer, was so fabulous to work with and was perfect for the look Katrina was going for. Here’s a little sneak peek at some of the results:
It was a great shoot and Katrina’s just a blast to be around. It was great watching her work and then being able to really show off her style in these images. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!
