ashley brockinton photography : sandra & ryan : sanibel, fl

Sandra and Ryan are such an amazing couple and we loved photographing their Casa Ybel Resort wedding on Sanibel Island, Florida. Sandra’s style was wonderfully vintage; her fabulous hair and makeup by Hope Artistry went perfectly with her birdcage veil and dress. Ryan’s mixed patterns were a mark of good fashion sense and confidence; his ensemble was dashing! The primary color was purple but the oranges and greens in her bouquet and the centerpieces were perfect together. They had one of the most touching ceremonies and delightful receptions we have been to; and let’s not forget to mention the weather was perfect. You can tell how happy they are together!

trinkets & treasures

Today’s trinket is this little gem we like to call the Purple Monster. It helps clear away pollution, dulling flakes for smooth, glowing skin as well as helping pores look their smallest. It also makes skin accept moisture better and grow more resistant to impurities. Using a cotton ball, sweep over face and throat twice daily after cleansing with Facial Soap. This second step in Clinique’s 3-Step Skin Care System is a true difference-maker for great skin. Developed by Clinique’s dermatologists, the cool, refreshing formula removes dead cells from the surface of the skin helping moisturizer and makeup to apply evenly. Though this is part of the 3-Step system, I use it after I wash my face (with Clearasil) and then apply a different lotion from the Body Shop. I believe this is the key to making my skin smooth and pores minimized. Even after I wash my face thoroughly, it removes more dirt!

I like this stuff, and if you’re looking for smoother skin and decreased pores you should try it out. It is $22.00 for 16.5 oz, and it has a pump top; this may seem pricey but it lasts sooo long!

Well that is a pleasant surprise! Excited to see that even just a little post on Facebook does not go unrecognized. We are completely honored that Grace Ormonde & her team complimented this post.
