Engagement Shoot at the Oceanside Drive-In and Pier

By True Photography, May 31, 2012 Engagements, Quick Updates

As a couple, Sara and Nathan have a “cool” vibe and relaxed personalities! So we figured their engagement shoot should reflect their fun-loving nature. Since Nathan drives an awesome old Cadillac, we headed to the Oceanside Drive-In Theatre to showcase his car in the perfect setting!

We started just about an hour before sunset, taking advantage of the glow as the sun approached the horizon. Sara and Nathan were natural and playful, making it easy to capture some great moments! We then made our way down to the Oceanside Pier for a bonfire and a stroll along the beach. We timed it to be there just as the sun set, which made for a colorful and romantic backdrop.

We had so much fun with this laid-back couple, and we look forward to photographing their wedding this fall. Take a peek below at some of the photos from the shoot!

Brides By Brittany Wedding Hair and Airbrush Makeup

By Brides By Brittany, May 18, 2012 Hair and Makeup

Brides By Brittany specializes in bridal makeup and couture hair artistry. Whether our bride wants a dramatic bombshell look, or a simple romantic style, we adore taking her vision and mixing it with our creativity. We love to make our bride look and feel absolutely breathtaking on the best day of her life.

For example, we were honored to create beautiful, flawless airbrush makeup and couture hair artistry for Heather and her bridal party! Heather’s look was perfectly created after a consultation, where we listened to her ideas for her wedding day look. After we talked, we had a game plan to doll-up the gorgeous bride for her wedding!

Heather booked the ever-popular “All a Girl Needs Package,” which includes Hair Artistry and Airbrush Makeup Grand Preview (to see the bridal look one time before her wedding day) and wedding day Hair Artistry & Airbrush Makeup. For Heather, I created a beautiful natural look with a focus on her eyes. I framed her eyes with rich brown and cream shadows, with long sexy lashes for the “wow” factor. Her skin was made flawless with Airbrush Makeup, and a glossy nude pout completed her bridal look!

Heather later told me that she felt gorgeous on her wedding day. She couldn’t get over how flawless & glowing her skin was!

Our resident Brides By Brittany Hair Artist, Bekah, created a beautiful loose curl hairstyle for the bride, which was designed to frame her flawless makeup. Heather wore a lace-trimmed vail that Bekah helped secure before she walked down the aisle.

Brides By Brittany understands that no two Brides have the same vision for their look. That’s why we take time to meet with our brides, ask specific questions, and take detailed notes (over a hot cup of coffee). We offer a fully customizable a la carte menu of Hair and Makeup services, including Airbrush Makeup, Traditional Couture Makeup, Hair Artistry, Individual Lashes, Strip Lashes, Calming Masks and more! We also offer amazing package savings that include Hair & Makeup services and Airbrush Tanning! For the convenience of our brides, Brides By Brittany provides on-location dolling-up for the wedding day!

We love what we do! In order to give back, we donate 10% of all Brides by Brittany profit to children in Uganda, Africa. We feel blessed to be an intimate part of weddings throughout Southern California!

Engagement Photo Shoot in Sunny San Diego

By True Photography, January 30, 2012 Engagements

When you’re in sunny San Diego, the outdoors are perfectly warm for a January engagement photo shoot! For our fun shoot with Jessica and Miles, we decided to step right outside of our studio (previously located in Solana Beach, just a few feet away from the Pacific Ocean.)

We hit the beach, where the happy couple walked barefoot in the sand. The bright, rust colored cliffs served as the perfect backdrop! We captured a series of playful photos of Jessica and Miles running towards each other, before embracing and spinning around in circles. We also ventured off into an open grassy field, where we captured some sweet and whimsical moments. Finally, we capped things off with a stroll along Cedros Avenue, past the Belly Up Tavern, and other local attractions.

This fun and free-spirited couple was full of smiles and energy. We look forward to photographing their big day in October!
