So, I'm super duper extra excited that we have been featured today on the Weddings Unveiled blog. I love this magazine- definitely in my top 3 favorite wedding magazines. I love the magazine because it is so fashion forward and definitely strikes a chord with the Ashley Brockinton Photography style. I'm so glad they loved Allison and Jason's engagement session as much as I did.

{Lisa & Thomas: Engagement Session}

Sam + Ashley Brockinton — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:00:43 +0000

Being that Thomas is a pilot, we thought it was more than appropriate to shoot an engagement session at the Page Field airport. Lisa and Thomas were so much fun to shoot; stay tuned for their wedding pictures!

{Hope and Todd: Engagement Session}

Sam + Ashley Brockinton — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 16:00:40 +0000

When I got the call from Hope and Todd that they wanted me to shoot their wedding I was so excited. I have known Hope since High School and Todd has also become a close family friend. Hope is an amazing make-up artist, and we love to listen to Todd sing with my youngest sister Gracey. They are such a fun and creative couple. I love their engagement photos and we are so excited to shoot their wedding! And (drumrole please).... it gets better, this is just part 1 of the Engagement-session. Stay tuned!!!!

{My Favorite Makeup for Photography}

Sam + Ashley Brockinton — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:00:00 +0000

Although I am just a photographer and not a makeup artist I do have a sister who works for MAC cosmetics and has taught me a ton and have used the knowledge she has shared with me when I do makeup for our high school senior clients and when advising brides and other clients on their makeup for the photoshoot.

This past week Sam and I photographed the wedding of my best friend and college room mate, Allison. Allison also let me style her and some of the wedding details. It was SOOOO fun for me to create an image from start to finish. We did several trial runs on Al and ended up on the look below. Although there are lots of different makeup brands that work well for photography my two favorite are MAC cosmetics and Makeup Forever.

I use MAC eyeliners and eyeshadows but not mascara. I have heard that Dior's mascara is amazing but since we usually use false eyelashes I don't worry about high quality mascar as much. I also use MAC blush and eye brow pencil. Ohhhh and I can't forget the brushes. The MAC brushes have maybe made the biggest difference in how I am able to apply makeup.

For foundation and concelar I HIGHLY recommend Makeup Forever's HD makeup line made specifically for photography and film. It is amazing. It covers perfectly but doesn't settle into fine lines. It also doesn't get ooey gooey and wipe off. I always use the matte primer, concelar, and liquid foundation together. Love it!

I HIGHLY recommend that you hire a makeup artist for your wedding day. If you need a recommendation ask me. It is common for a makeup artist to ask you to purchase your own foundation and bring it and that is my main reason for writing this post and clueing you into the not so famous Makeup Forever line that is adored by many makeup artist. You can purchase it at Sephora.

And here is my beautiful friend Allison in all her wedding glory.

Dress: Melissa Sweet

Necklace: POP Jewels - Maria Gal- located in Naples

Hair Peice: I'll check on that once Allison gets back from Greece.

{SW Florida Wedding: Tommy and Heather}

Sam + Ashley Brockinton — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:00:36 +0000

Heather and Tommy met through Heather's sister's husband. That's right, Sisters married best friends! How fun is that going to be the rest of their lives? So is this not an amazingly beautiful couple? They both have such classic looks. We think Tommy looks like a young Richard Gear and Heather like a cross between Julia Roberts and Katherine Hepburn. Another beautiful Florida wedding! Thanks to those who made the day extra special:

Flowers:Dawn Upchurch (863) 679-7268

Cake & Caterer: Unforgettable Edibles

DJ: Robert Van Cour (239) 839-2549
