Styled Bride: Brittney | Duluth, MN Bridal Makeup

Here are some images from a photo shoot I collaborated on with local vendors Mad Chicken Studio and Saffron and Grey.  I was definitely going for an elevated bridal look, very chic and polished (which is definitely my style) but with an editorial edge using some dark eyeliner and stronger contour.  Shooting took place in Cloquet, Minnesota.  Enjoy.
