Vanesa Oliver Beauty

Comments

I recently shared a story about a collaboration that I did with the talented team at Vanesa Oliver Beauty and 5 models that they brought along for an all-day photo session at my studio in Easton. It started as just a casual conversation with Vanesa Rodriguez. And, that conversation grew into meetings and dress fittings until it was Go Time. There was quite the hustle and bustle at the studio. One room was completely converted into a full-blown salon, complete with lights and makeup and hair spray (LOTS of hairspray) and flat-irons and beads and gold leaf... It was a LOT. I found refuge in my shooting bay. One by one, the teams came in. And, one by one, we photographed each model with the amazing looks that the HMUAs created for them. Below, you can see a sampling of a final edit and the teams that helped make this all come to life.
This was such a fun collaborative effort with Vanesa Rodriguez, Tarin Sara, Melissa Brana, Brianna Storm, Lauren Herzog, Shara Tallada, Kiara Alexia Jimenez, Amanda Benckini-Wagner, Christelle Gabrielle, Erica Grant, Jade Stoute, Logan Reid, and Stephanie Pretel.

August is Beauty Month here at John Wirick Photography. And, to properly celebrate your beauty, I think it's important to recognize the hard-working people who help you look and feel your ABSOLUTE BEST.. The hair stylists, makeup artists, aestheticians, nail techs, personal trainers, nutritionists, clothing & jewelry designers, tattoo artists, etc.

If you own, manage, or work anywhere in the Health & Beauty Industry, I invite you to come to The Portrait Studio at Northwood Racquet Club for a complimentary Limited Edition Signature Session as my thank you for helping bring out the BEST in my clients. It's time to bring you out from behind the scenes and create some amazing images of YOU!

Yesterday, I had the absolute privilege of photographing Vanesa Rodriguez who owns Vanesa Oliver Beauty in Bethlehem. Who will be next? Is it YOU???

Some photos from our senior influencer session with Ella! It was a great day in Bethlehem with multiple outfits- great locations and gorgeous professional hair and makeup by Vanesa Oliver Beauty

These two amazing people got married underneath the most beautiful oak tree (at least I think it’s oak, I’m probably wrong, but it sounds good!)

We had so much fun and spent a majority of the day laughing! I also think this was one of the funniest ceremonies I’ve ever witnessed! The whole day was so lighthearted and sweet just like Mikayla and Joshua! I couldn’t help but fall in love with them from the minute I met them!

My only regret is that we forgot to take a selfie! Maybe we’ll have to get drinks sometime to correct that!

I am so honored to have been a part of your Wedding Day! It was a pleasure to be able to tell your story!

With love from your friends (and by friends I mean me!) at Alyssa Kaufman Films!

(Stay tuned for the highlight!)

Sorry it’s been a little quiet here lately. Wedding season is back in full effect and I’ve been busy helping make some ladies feel and look beautiful!!

Here’s a few makeup applications from yesterday... I got to help represent and be part of an amazing beauty team over at Vanesa Oliver Beauty. It was such a gorgeous day for a wedding too!!

I've shot almost 200 weddings, and yet I never get tired of these moments.... Vanesa Oliver Beauty

Airbrush class in session... so excited to be adding this service for all of my clients soon!! Special thanks to Vanesa Oliver Beauty for teaching me all of her amazing techniques!! I’ve learned a ton from you my friend!!

One of my favorite parts of this photoshoot was styling a "getting ready" portion of the day. I loved being able to create these moments of intimacy as though this couple were helping each other with every last detail and finishing touch before they made this beautiful commitment to one another. There is nothing wrong with exercising all kinds of creativity on your wedding day, but imagine how romantic this experience can be one on one with a focus on the simplest and most important part of the day: saying "I Do". Would you elope? How would you do it? Which details would be the most important to you? ⁠•

Look at that glow ! Ladies skin prep is key to flawless makeup. Not only do we use the best products and personalize them to your needs but she also got a facial with dermaplane right before her wedding. I highhhllyyyy recommend dermaplane for a flawless makeup application. Want to know where to get one done ? Message me for more details!

Meet Therese ✨
Do you see how gorgeous her skin looks ? She actually went and got a dermaplane facial a few days before the wedding. This allows the makeup to lay so much nicer and makes your skin glowy and naturally radiant.
For more information on dermaplane and where to get it done let me know 😉.

She doesn’t live near here so we didn’t have a trial but she trusted us 100% and loved her end result. We went with traditional foundation to contour and hilight and create our signature soft glam look.

Our Story

In 2007 I started in the beauty industry, but since I could remember it’s always been a passion for me. I started adding makeup for my work at Cielo’s Hair Design in 2013. Since then, my love for beauty and makeup grew even more. During this time I’ve been able to do freelance work and collaborate with Jersey Fashionista, Shuba Magazine, and Social Lifestyle Magazine for editorial photoshoots. I’ve also been able to take part in many brides’ special days and more.

I’m available for makeup needs including bridal, editorial, quinceañeras, sweet 16s, anniversary parties, and even lessons in the Union, NJ, Tri-State, and Lehigh Valley, PA areas.
