Behind the Scenes for Melissa Gentile Couture

Wow! It's been a while since I've posted on this blog.. Bad Janet, bad... I guess you can say it's not for a lack of content but more for a lack of time lol. No more neglecting, because I have a lot of things to share, yay!

A few weeks ago, I got to work with a few of my favorite people; Miss Isa from Ella Photography, designer Melissa Gentile and hair stylist Malina Tang.  This time it was for Melissa's upcoming ad campaign that will launch in Elegant Wedding and Mariage Chic Wedding Magazine, details to come soon.

So take a peek at us hard at work =)

Chic Wedding Magazine Spread

Just in case you missed it, I did makeup for a six page spread in the January 2012 issue of Chic Wedding magazine.

The Secret is Out!

Do you know how hard it is to keep fabulous news to myself?? Luckily, Isabella of Ella Photography spilled the beans today (which means I'm in the clear to share hahaha).

This past summer, Isabella had an awesome idea for a bridal shoot.  She wanted to capture the beauty of our city and the elegance that only a bride can bring on their big day.  In order to pull off this idea, she decided to team-up with some pretty cool peeps.  Check out this line up:

Creative Direction: Isabella of Ella Photography and Natasha Rosa del Vecchio

Headpieces and Jewelry: Jennifer Laoun-Rubenstein

Soooo what's the big deal? We do shoots all the time right? Well, Isabella sent the photos to CHIC Magazine and they decided to do a 6 PAGE SPREAD which will be released in THIS JANUARY 2012 issue!!  Which is right around the corner people (woot! woot!).

Here's the thing, that's about all I can tell you lol.  However, you can take a sneak peak of some of the action caught on film by my 11:11 events. Enjoy!
