Real Bride - Aisyah!

June 1st, 2009 @ 5:36 pm by Laura Nadeau @ Lo and Co

I met Aisyah for her makeup trial a few months ago and was so excited to be a part of her wedding because of her fun-loving personality. As a makeup artist, I am a little obsessed with skin tones and bone structure. And, while I love my fair skin, I was a tad envious of her butterscotch exterior and high cheekbones. I believe the secret to taking great photos is to be in the moment, be yourself, and interact with your friends and family. Aisyah has a cheeky attitude, and I love that it shows in her photographs. She knows how to interact with the camera playfully and authentically, yet “pretends” it isn't there for some nice beauty shots. To get her look check out a previous post I did using Aisyah's trial photos as an example of how to do a basic eye.

Aisyah personalized her look with butterflies and a ridiculous pair of 5 inch Christian Louboutins with pink feathers (love!) and her dress converted to a mini. I have no idea how she walked in those shoes - but I love this girl! :grin:

Photographer Christopher Lane did an amazing job of capturing the day in DUMBO, Brooklyn at the uber cool Smackmellon. I once again collaborated with fabulous Stacy Pitt, who did the Hollywood glam hair. Enjoy!

Hey brides to be…

I am Aisyah! Thanks for the comments! Lo was such a sweetheart the day of. She made me laugh and even helped me fix the dress on my shoulders with the magical “invisible tape”! Thanks again Lo! Oh yeah, I don’t even need to mention that she is very talented! She finds the perfect color to match you skin tone and your style…

The designer of my dress is from Paris; her name is Delphine Manivet. You will find different style on her website http://www.delphinemanivet.com. My dress is custom made, so you won’t find it on it. If it is the conversion from long to short, you will have to do it custom made… But if it is the style, go and check it out. She is a great designer, vintage-boho style.

Good luck girls!!!
