This beautiful wooded wedding & this couple were anything but grim! One word that comes to mind from Sarah’s day is: JOY. This bride, her girls, and everyone present was so relaxed, happy, & filled with joy – exactly how a wedding day should be!

Sarah & Marty chose a beautiful venue for their wedding festivities. It was a location I had never been to before, but hope to go back to someday! It had an AMAZING bridal suite, which in this industry can be hard to come by.

Rachel Ruhl Photography did an astounding job capturing every detail and special moment of Sarah & Marty’s day! Seriously friends, I think she might just be my favorite wedding day photographer (there, I said it!)! I am not even joking, if you don’t have your wedding photographer yet, try to book this woman because she does not disappoint!!

Due to Sarah’s limited amount of time at the venue to get herself and her girls ready, I brought along my trusty assistant (& sister), Katie, to help the morning run smoothly.

Also, I will totally be over-sharing pictures from Sarah’s day because this bride holds a special place in my heart! We grew up in the same neighborhood together & played as kids…so naturally it was such a treat to be given the privilege of beautifying this gorgeous lady on her wedding day!

Makeup Look Details: Sarah went with a super natural look, we did not even do any false lashes. For her eyes I went with peachy, nude tones that enhanced her complexion coloring. I added some slight shimmer (using one of my favorite Makeup Geek shadows). For her blush, I complimented her eyes by continuing in a monochromatic way, using peach-toned blushes and light-medium contour/bronzing shades. For her lips, we stuck with a neutral nude color, with a clear coat of gloss on top to help pop & seal-in the color!

Next up…hairstyling!

In her hair, Sarah opted to include some small strands of pearls, that were from a dress she wore as a flower-girl in one of her family members weddings. It was the perfect bridal touch of interest and sentiment to complete her style! Highly recommend putting something in your hair to make it extra-special!

Hairstyle Details: Sarah chose one of my favorite styles to date! A seemingly “classic” low-updo but with tousled curls and free-flowing tendrils framing the face & nape. We also included two dutch braids coming around the crown and meeting in the low-bun. Her style was a huge success largely due to her excellent coloring and highlights! This style was perfect for Sarah because her highlights wonderfully enhanced and detailed the braids & tousled curls. To set her hair I used some of my favorite products from Kenra Professional & Design.ME Hair. Kenra hairsprays used: Kenra 13, Kenra 25. Design.ME products used: Puff ME Cloud Mist.

Even though the details are given, I am still going to share some pictures of Sarah & Marty’s couple photos/ceremony photos…because their wedding was just that swoon-worthy (& Rachel Ruhl Photography’s photos are just too pretty not to share)! Enjoy!

Happy marriage Sarah & Marty Grimm! It was a JOY to be a part of your day, may your life together be long & sweet!
