When I met Abby at a the S Fine Dining Wedding Show early this year, she just lite up the room with her smile.  I just wanted to share some  photos of Abby and Jay during their engagement shoot in Padua Hills in Claremont.  Padua Hills is a wondering place to take engagement photos in Los Angeles before your wedding. The perfect weather,  perfect location,  and perfect couple made the photos breath taking!

Desi Baytan Photography photographed our beautiful couple, they are fabulous wedding photographer in South California.  Desi and Connie’s studio is located in Pasadena,  they are  photographers in Los Angeles and Orange County.

On a “Personal Note”… I love how Abby kept her engagement session photos simple and elegant.  When selecting an engagement shoot wardrobe, sometimes a lot less goes a long way.  Keeping it simple and adding accent colors is a great way to express and make your photos pop!

I just love soft pink spring colors for a spring wedding.  The All Made Up Team, Orange County makeup artist and wedding hair stylist,  had the honor of working on Tina’s makeup and hair at her wedding this summer and be a part of her special day.  She was the most pleasant and beautiful bride to work with and looked stunning with her low bun wedding hair updo.  Tina wanted a timeless and elegant wedding hair updo that absolutely make her look stunning on her wedding day.  Her day was fill will laughter and fun with 5 beautiful bridesmaids on a beautiful sunny day for a wedding in Southern California!

Thanks Peter Tran, from Icons Photography, Orange County wedding photographer for posting her album on Icons Photography blog website!

I can’t express how beautiful these photos came out and I hope the person receiving them is knocked off their feet after seeing them, because I was!

Kristin Brancaleone of The Treasured Petal, created a “Sex In the City Bouquet” for our last workshop I worked on with Jasmine Star Photographer, called “The Workshop” focusing on branding for photographers.

Kristin a fabulous florist in Orange County created a bouquet, that was Sex In the City inspired by choosing unique elements that stand-out, for example pink flowers with playful textures and interesting shapes. The big pink princess protea in the middle is the star of the bouquet.  Including gathered fuchsia gloriosa lilies, sweet peas, ranuncula, Italian heather (hot stuff!), and perfect white hyacinth.

The ostrich and polka dotted guinea feathers complimented the black feathery center of the protea and added a little whimsy and movement to the bouquet.  It was tied  with white satin, draped it with black beads and more guinea feathers around the base. Black cocque tail feathers fluttering out from the bottom,  like  a feather duster that one of those jaunty little French maids might carry. LOL!

For all you Carry Bradshaw fans, we all hope you like this trendy, youthful, and fabulous Sex In the City inspired bouquet created for this special photo shoot with Jasmine Star and the All Made Up Team!  Thank you Kristin for always producing creative and unique masterpieces…we LOVE YOU!!!

Thank you Janie from The Bride’s Cafe for writing such a great post about our Sex In the City inspired bouquet explaining all the special elements in this beautiful bouquet.  For more information about this post, please check out Janie’s Medley @ The Bride’s Cafe.

The All Made Up Team had another great and fun workshop we did with Jasmine Star Photographer at her photographer seminar that focused on branding for photographers called “The Workshop” by Jasmine Star.  The photographer workshop targeted intermediate and experienced photographers who wanted to learn how to better brand themselves.  The photographer workshop focused in finding yourself and your style and learn creative and effective ways to brand your signature style and your business better.  The photographer workshop was located in Southern California, (Socal, CA) in the city of Irvine.

Though the day was warm in sunny Southern California for our lovely models below, Melinda and Vern, but it was bearable for all.  This was Jasmine Star’s third workshop and I enjoyed working on all the make-up and hair themes, looks, and designs with her.  She is a FABULOUS photographer and below are some the photos I posted on my blog from Jasmine Star’s blog.

The theme from this workshop was vintage, and really worked around Melinda’s beautiful Monique Lhuillier signature style lace couture wedding gown and incorporated lots of gold in her accessories.  The Monique Lhuillier wedding gown was elegant, classic, and timeless on Melinda.  The form fitting delicate Monique Lhuillier signature lace dress fit Melinda like a glove and essentuateed every curve on her tall slender physique.

Floral bouquet was vintage inspired  by Carissa @ JLDesigns.com

On August 14, 2009, Kim Le Photography will be hosting another fabulous & fun BOUDOIR MARATHON SESSION! Makeup & hair will be offered by the  All Made Up Team. Please contact Kim Le Photography for further details. There are only a few spots left so contact her today! You don’t want to miss out, space is limited!!!

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to share the next personal makeup workshop on 7/12/09 from (9am-1pm) in Westminster.  Check out our new 30 second video commercial for the upcoming makeup workshop.  Here is the direct link if you have any problems viewing it: http://vimeo.com/5090468

TheMakeupWorkshop.com Commerical Promo Video from Vivian Tran (AllMadeUpTeam.com) on Vimeo.

Since I got my new HD Flip camera I’ve been been making an effort to record and use it at as many events as possible. And this past weekend I had the opportunity to hear Leyna Nguyen, a Vietnamese-American News Achor/Reportor for KCAL-TV, speak at the VANGusa.org (Leadership Conference).

This video is from a panel interview at the VANGusa.org Leadership Conference, about charity and giving back to your community and people in need of help. Love Across the Ocean.org is Leyna Nguyen’s charity organization that helps give back to the people of Vietnam.  Leyna also shares in this video her family background, family history, learning to “give back” at an early age, giving back to the community, and how rewarding it is to experience how GREAT it feels to be able to give back to not only to just your family and friends, but through a charity to strangers who are in need of your help.

I had the opportunity to hear Leyna Nguyen speak this past weekend at the VANGusa.org, a Vietnamese American Leadership Conference and learned more about her Love Across the Ocean.org charity organization,  Love Across the Ocean.org is a charity organization that gives back to the people of Vietnam.  Please visit her website for more information and please watch the video below about her family history, struggles, and how she started her organization.

One of my favorite quotes from her video was “I want to GIVE until I’m RICH” and that little phrase has so much meaning to me…and if you’ve “GIVEN” before with all your heart, soul, and efforts…you know how good it feels after you have, then you will understand how powerful this little phrase means…

Hi Everyone!

I will be out of the office from 5/2 to 5/11/09 working on a destination event and taking a mini vacation.   So if I do not reply back promptly after your inquires through phone calls or emails, that’s because I’m not here to.

Please email any questions and inquiries to vivian@allmadeupteam.com, and one of my make-up artists will be able to help you with any questions about booking and availability.  I will be back 5/11/09 to return all calls and emails.  Thank you!
