Timeless Romance: A Collaborative Bridal Editorial in Lancaster, PA

There is something truly magical about the spring light in Lancaster, Pensylvania. Especially this past Sunday, when we had such a beautiful, sunny and warm- PERFECT day.  It provided the perfect backdrop for a modern bride.
I had the pleasure of collaborating with a group of incredibly talented local wedding vendors to create a bridal look that balances that classic timeless bridal look you wont regret years down the road, yet remains current enough for the modern bride. If you’re planning a Lancaster wedding, let this shoot serve as your ultimate mood board!
A shoot is only as strong as its collaborators. For this look, we brought together some of the best wedding professionals in Central PA:

• Makeup:  Katherine of Bluebird Brides
• Photography: Jenna Brianne Photography
• Hair: Hair by Liana G
• Florals: Wild Indigo

When doing the makeup for this editorial on our lovely model, I wanted the makeup to feel modern and natural, but remain timeless. We focused on:

• Radiant Skin: We began with skin prep; I used exfoliating pads to create a smooth base, and an ultra hydrating moisturizer as the perfect primer to ensure the glow lasted through the outdoor shots.  I chose a long wearing foundation that has lots of hydrating skincare ingredients in it, to ensure that the makeup lasts, but also looks great and lays great on the model's skin for a long day, the same as I would for all of my brides.
• Defined Eyes: Soft, rosy neutral tones to enhance the model's natural eye shape without looking heavy.  This eye look was classic- A soft smokey brown wing and a bright white gold shimmer on the lids made her eyes really pop while still looking natural in photos.  We finished the look with some natural lashes, which really make her eyes pop.
• The Perfect Nude Lip: A timeless choice for any bride!  I used one of my favorite glosses- a cool toned pink lip plumper by buxom.

The Hair Hair by Liana G worked her magic, creating a style that felt both structured and soft. It’s the kind of hair that looks just as good at the end of the reception as it does walking down the aisle.
The Florals Wild Indigo brought the wow factor with a bouncy bouquet that felt like it was plucked straight from a lush Lancaster garden. The textures and organic shapes perfectly complemented the romantic bridal aesthetic.

Capturing the Magic: Photography by Jenna Brianne Capturing the fine details of a wedding day from start to finish requires a specific eye, and Jenna Brianne delivered. Her ability to use natural light to highlight the intricate textures of the florals and the softness of the hair and makeup is why she is a go-to for Lancaster Wedding Photography.
