Another absolutely stunning Off the Beaten Path couple captured, this time, by Sasha Photography. Betsey Oliver and I created upscale, glamorous looks for each of these gorgeous gals. She did the hair, I did the makeup, the result was a cohesive look for the entire bridal party, designed to feel a little ‘red carpet’ while not overdone and leaving each true to their own individuality. They were so fun to work with and one of the most picture perfect bridal parties I’ve seen!
Sasha and his team were professional and personal with the group, a pleasure to work with. Sasha’s photos are each true works of art that document the day of this happy couple beautifully. Visit Sasha’s blog for more!
Congratulations Laura & Scott!

Bridechilla wear :: Alternative apparel 100% cotton,
eco-sensitive chill wear, a little edgy with a lot of style!
URBAN DICTIONARY DEFINITION – A bridechilla remains easy going, relaxed and down to earth during her entire wedding experience. She is not defined by her wedding day but by the experience of being with those that she cares most about. THE “unzilla”
I love everything Mary Ellen Murphy dreams up (she’s also the creative brains behind Off The Beaten Path Weddings) this is her latest ingenious endeavor. Gorgeous photos by onelove photographer Julie Hanna. Scrumptious & beautiful custom cupcakes by Heidi Hebein, freelance pastry chef/baker. Enjoy the pics then order some goodies for a bridechilla in your life!

I had the pleasure of working with this gorgeous bride for her summer wedding in Sonoma. There was very little I needed to do to transform Miranda from her beautiful everyday self into a blushing bride. Together we created a look that felt very natural, the focus on her glowing skin and fresh pink cheek. Her hair has beautiful natural curl which we enhanced and pinned up just slightly to frame her face. The end result was absolutely stunning and flowed very naturally with the rest of the event.
The beautiful photos are the work of Jill Doherty Photography. Jill did a great job capturing the Miranda and Nick, their quiet excitement and overflowing love for each other.
Congratulations Miranda & Nick!
