Top Pink Lip Shades for Brides
Choosing a lip color for your wedding day can be a difficult decision, not every shade photographs how you see it on yourself. I’ve swatched 100’s of lip stick colours as a bridal makeup artist and heres the shades I keep going back to.
Charlotte Tilbury Pillowtalk Fair is my newest favorite if you like a very pale pink.
Charlottetilbury Wedding Belles is a classic pink if you love a little pop of color.
Fenty Scholar Sista is a beautiful warmer shade that looks amazing on richer skin tones.
Mac Cosmetics Blankety is the perfect not too pink shade, it is slightly more on the beige side so if you are someone who doesnt love alot of color on the lips its perfect.

Everything to Make Your Wedding Day Run Smooth from a Wedding Photographer
Wedding days can be hectic and high stress but they don’t have to be. I chatted with Vancouver Wedding Photographer, Eunice Kwok from Chuunice Photography to hear her tips for a smooth wedding day.
Most common problem I've seen:
Not realizing how quickly time will fly by on wedding day, and thus not prioritizing accordingly. Have a schedule outlining the day and add in a buffer.
Not booking enough photography (time) coverage. It's better to have an extra chill hour than to miss an important moment because you or your party is running late.
Not realizing that you'll move slower in formal gowns and shoes. Those dresses are heavy! Not to mention every person will want to congratulate you and talk to you.
Not realizing how long group photos can take. Getting the wedding party to pose and look at the camera at the same time can add up.
Not allocating enough time for the couple themselves. Wedding portraits are important, these will be the photos you frame, make sure you have plenty of time to get the shot.
Having to be the organizers during the wedding. If you can delegate someone to keep the day on track and make sure everyone is in the right spot you can enjoy the day so much more.
Trying to have "all the things" just because they think they have to even if they don't necessarily like it (e.g. cake cutting, games, formal dances, tons of speeches, wedding dress/outfit change, etc). Everything takes take time too, think about what you really want to include!
If you decide to "do something later", it just might not happen. If you want a specific event or shot to happen schedule it in to the day in advance.

Best Photo Locations in Vancouver
Vancouver has so many beautiful spots for engagement and wedding photos. As a professional makeup artist I’ve had the pleasure of going to many of these spots for styled photoshoots. Here are some that stand out:
Stanley Park -The views of Vancouver from the park are amazing. From scenic views of the city, and ocean there’s plenty of backdrop options. You can even run into the forest for a more dark and moody vibe. Its the perfect spot for any downtown Vancouver weddings as its only a quick drive and offers so much variety. Some of my favourite bridal photoshoots have been here in the rose garden.
The Peak Of Grouse Mountain - One of the most popular attractions in Vancouver is The Peak Of Grouse Mountain. It offers amazing views of Vancouver and surrounding areas including the North Shore Mountains and Howe Sound. Its a great spot for engagement photos and family photos if you’re willing to make the trip.
Queen Elizabeth Park - Queen Elizabeth Park is an urban park located in downtown Vancouver BC Canada It is one of the largest parks in all of Canada. It is one of the best places to see the Cherry Blossoms in Vancouver in the spring. So many of my clients have visited the park for their engagement photos during cherry blossom season and they turn out magical,
Whytecliff Park - My favourite photoshoot location to date. Located in West Vancouver Whytecliff park offers ocean front views. I’ve seen so many engagement and family photoshoots turn out beautifully with this back drop.
Favourite Bridal Lip Colours
Lipstick is the finishing touch to all makeup looks. Choosing a lipstick shade for your wedding day can be a tough decision. As a bridal makeup artist I have my list of personal favourites.
Shade 1: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk ; the perfect nude pink, universally flattering this shade is my number one choose to complete any bridal makeup look.
Shade 2: MAC Blankety ; for anyone loving a pale nude this shade is perfect. The right balance of beige and pink for those who love less colour on their lips. I love pairing this with a brown or pink lip liner for more dimension and longevity.
Shade 3: MAC Brave; another cool toned pink lipstick that completes any wedding makeup look.
Shade 4: MAKEUP BY MARIO Ultra Suede Cozy Lip Creme - Naked Spice
For anyone that wants to shy away from pinks but is still seeking a warm neutral, naked spice is a beautiful choice. As we enter fall in Vancouver I find myself reaching more for these types of nude shades.
