2016 Outer Banks Bride Magazine: Coastfully Wed

With a ceremony by the sound and country club reception at The Currituck Club to day-after photo session with ColemanShots by the ocean, Taylor and John's coastal affair took us on a journey across the Outer Banks. Oozing natural, garden glamour with splashes of green and gold, this wedding is the definition of lovely. Luckily, we have their wedding film by Swell Productions to allow us to relive the splendor on repeat.

From the Couple...

How The Met: "We met while working together at a sailing center in Corolla in the summer of 2011. John had moved from South Carolina and took a job as the sailing center's Site Manager and Taylor just graduated college in Virginia and took a Summer job there renting out water-sport equipment. We became friends through working together and made our romantic relationship official that September - we also decided to make  our move to the Outer Banks a permanent one!" 

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "We met here and live here!" 

Wedding Inspiration: "We wanted our wedding to be everything that is simple, natural beauty - something we feel encompasses our relationship as a whole. The most important thing to us was to be able to get married in a place that had significant meaning to both of us, and that we could always come back to visit and even bring our keys one day. Our wedding quickly turned into an earthy, very natural, garden glam style."

Favorite Wedding Memory: "Our top favorite memory is our first look! Once we saw each other for the first time, every nerve we had went away and it was just the most emotional, flawless moment for us that we will never forget."

All Eyes on the Bride - Outer Banks' Airbrush Makeup Expert

Looking flawless for your wedding day is something each bride desires. Sure, most of us know how to apply makeup for a day out with the girls, and there are a few who might even know how to achieve the ever-popular smokey eye for an evening out. Most of us can remember, however, a day or two when that eyeliner, after coming in contact with the heat and humidity often found here in the South, made us look less ravishing and more like a raccoon.

Your wedding day is not the time to fret over dripping mascara, an overly shiny complexion and lipstick that won t last beyond the initial walk down the aisle.

Outer Banks Wedding, Destination Wedding, NC Beach Wedding

On this important day, turn to the pros! Lauren Gurski, with All Eyes on the Bride and trusted airbrush makeup artist to this year s Outer Banks Wedding Association s Dream Bride. Gurski specializes in creating a look that will not only last until you wave goodbye, but will photograph well.

Know that you are being shot by your photographer in HD, explains Gurski. In other words, any skin imperfections or understated makeup will be much more evident in these photos.

Outer Banks Wedding, Destination Wedding, NC Beach Wedding

I specialize in HD and Airbrush Makeup Application, said Gurski, so whether it is for the groom, the moms, or the bride, I ensure that you will look your absolute best for your photos and film. A lot of what I do is not for what my client sees in the mirror at the end, but rather, for what she sees in her photos.

This flawless look was never more evident than at this year s 2013 Dream Wedding. Despite the humid weather, our Dream Bride s makeup was nothing short of perfection showing why this talented makeup artist was asked to create the look.

The Dream Wedding is just that a dream come true, said Gurski. The talent here on the Outer Banks is amazing and it makes me so proud to see every vendor give their best for a lucky dream wedding couple. The Dream Wedding is truly a team effort.

With all this talk of HD and Airbrush Makeup Application, it s important to know that All Eyes on the Bride works with you to create a look you will feel gorgeous and comfortable in on your wedding day. Meeting with you to discuss the look you want is important to Gurski. She keeps the look natural to you so you will not look overdone. Instead, you will meet your husband, who will be surprised by your enhanced beauty, as nothing more than a stunning version of yourself.

The Outer Banks provides a number of venues, backdrops and settings, explained Gurski. I love the Outer Banks because of the endless possibilities that it allows, small or large, in the gardens or on the beach; everything is customizable and unique, she continued.
