Ari Abramczyk is an alumni of Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, Ca. When we first saw some of Ari's underwater work, we were blown away. Right then, we kinda put it out in the universe to work with her and she emailed us 2 weeks later. She wanted to know if we were available to work with her and designer Jess Iverson on a maternity wedding dress shoot. HELL YEAH!! The dresses are lovely and the concept is beautiful, so we did the make-up & hair.
For this look, Jess wanted the make-up to enhance the glow of the expecting bride. Shimmery golds and pinks on the eyes and mineralized powder on the cheekbones. For the lips, Ashley used a mauve-pink lipcolor in the MAC pro-longwear line.
This shoot was interesting because although you cannot tell at all, this was during the one of the biggest fires in Santa Barbara, the Jesusita Fire. It was like 4:00pm and it was 96*degrees. It was CRAZY!!! However, the shots came out great and it just looks like a nice sunny afternoon ( despite the black smoke & bright orange flames).You can check out more of Jess' dresses at jessicaiverson.com and you can see more of Ari Abramczyk's work at www.eyesopenphoto.com.
