Effortless ponytail
How stunning is our bride Lauren! We did a lovely messy ponytail to show off that gorgeous neckline.
Bridal ponytails are a great way to look classy and leave a little hair down, yet still have it pulled out of your face.
classic bridal makeup
We paired Lauren’s classic hairstyle with a clean, simple makeup look meant to focus on the beauty of her skin.
Just a touch of browns on the eyes, gorgeous full lashes and a soft pink lip color just a shade or 2 darker than Lauren’s natural lip color giving her that perfect bridal makeup look.
This natural makeup look is one of our most requested looks by our brides!
Lovely Skin
Skin care is half the battle when it comes to making your makeup look nice and smooth.
We suggest starting to drink more water and getting on a skin care regimen in the 6 months (or more) leading up to your wedding, your skin will thank you!
bridal trials
It’s a great idea to schedule your bridal hair and makeup trial on the same day you’ll be taking your bridal portraits.
You’ll get a chance to see how your hair and makeup looks on camera and how long it lasts, giving you peace of mind for your wedding day.
Booking a trial also gives you the opportunity to make some changes to your hairstyle or makeup look before your big day, because let’s face it, we change our minds sometimes!
Beautiful Location
One of the secrets to getting lovely bridal portraits is a beautiful location!
The Creative Chateau is luxurious and has amazing natural light, perfect for capturing those stunning shots.
Not to mention, the amazing classic vintage décor just adds to all the beauty in the room!
A few other places you could take your bridal portraits are outdoors or at your wedding venue.
We also love the Houston Botanic Garden and Dukessa!
