Since we do so many different things for our work and site we decided to split up our weddings of 2014 and 2014 year in review into two separate posts. Click here to check out all of the lovely brides we had the pleasure of working with in 2014! This past year has definitely been the year of adventures, travel and frequent collaborations with the talented Nicole Ashley, Kristina of Inspired by Lynne and Hunt Amor, and best of all – the new additions to our crew with Selah arriving in July. Scroll down to see what kind of adventures we were up to each month.In January Janna traveled to Cuba to second shoot a wedding with Nicole Ashley as well as style the bride Jazmin’s hair. The full post on her adventure can be viewed here. We then traveled to LA to attend the IMATS conference, aka makeup heaven, there and of course did a post on everything we spent all our $$ on. Janna then traveled to Vancouver with friends to watch Volcano Choir perform and Stefanie stayed back in Edmonton to attend the Swept Bridal show with Kristina and Nicole which Kristina wrote about on her site. In February Stefanie did hair and makeup for a styled shoot that is also featured on our 2014 brides. February seemed to be a month of photo shoots ranging from styled boudoir with our model Brittany, boudoir marathons as well as some maternity and engagement shoots. In every shoot this year with Nicole Ashley we got to use the stunning locally made jewelry by Hunt Amor. March was full of meetings about an upcoming collaboration shoot that then got featured on the Wedluxe blog. All the hard work really paid off and it was amazing working with some of the best in the business. I wanted to take a moment to also acknowledge the beautiful mother/daughter shoot we had the opportunity being a part of with Nicole Ashley-these three beautiful souls Ronna Kayla and Brittany are the types of clients that imact your life and I am so glad to have met them! March also brought an opportunity to attend every woman festival at Lexus south point with our friends Amor (from Hunt Amor) and Nicole Ashley. It was at this event we did our first donation for their silent auction. Teaming up with Nicole Ashley for hair and makeup in a boudoir marathon- and the…

Now that it is “fall” aka winter here in Edmonton we decided to do an easy fall makeup tutorial featuring THE lip color that we can’t get enough of called Sin. See examples here and here. We cannot stop wearing this color. Since it is a matte lipstick you can go full out and vampy or just use a bit from the bullet on your finger to get a wine stained pout. Check out our latest video tutorial by clicking below and don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for more videos! All the products used in the video to create this look are listed below the video on youtube.
