Jennie was so sweet – this video brought a tear to our eye. Another amazing production by Alex Kon of IQvideography. If you are getting married at City Hall in San Francisco, consider his 2-hour package – he’s just incredible.
Congratulations to Tracey and Chris, and thanks to the dynamic duo Robert and Felicia of Paetz Photography.
We knew there was something special about Dana when we first met her for her trial. She was easy going and all smiles, and we had a great time going over her hair and makeup looks. Mei and Dana decided on an updo with an elaborate side bun — Dana brought the perfect hairpin for the bun.

On the wedding day, we arrived at the Omni Hotel to setup our on-location gear. The atmosphere was relaxed and the entire bridal party was great to work with.

Special thanks to Jay Kelly — Jay is one of San Francisco’s busiest and most talented wedding photographers, we’re glad to have had the opportunity to work with him.
April was interested in a soft, natural look for her wedding, with Mei’s famous ‘loose curls’ hair style.

What a view!
Thanks to Mariea Rummel for sending over these great shots of Jenna from her San Francisco wedding. Jenna was all smiles as we got ready at the Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco.
After your trial at our studio, you will know how your makeup and hair looks and feels in person, but what will it look like in your wedding photos?
Bridal trial photos are emailed same day.
We offer professional photography at our trials so you can see high resolution pictures of your makeup with even lighting. You can clearly see all angles of your hair design and best of all, we will send you varying contrasts of black and white to emulate what your professional wedding photography will deliver after your wedding.
Our trial photos allow you to look into the future and make any necessary changes before your once in a lifetime wedding day photography.
We hope that it gives you peace of mind before your big day.
After you are done with your hair and makeup, our studio manager and photographer, Robert, will snap a few photos using professional camera and lighting equipment (for the gear heads, we use a Nikon D3 with professional lenses, likely the same as your wedding photographer’s primary camera). We use professional, even lighting so you can clearly see Mei’s work. Camera shy? It’s totally painless, we just need a smile and we’re done!
Photos are also sent in black and white. Preview your look before your big day!
We are commonly asked:
With our quick and easy post-trial shoot, you, your friends, and family get to decide before the wedding.
Along with our detailed notes we compile after your trial, we always arrive with the photos of your trial for reference on your wedding day, ensuring that you receive the exact look you approved for the trial.
L-R: Color, low contrast, high contrast.
We email you large photos in color and black and white immediately after your trial. The trial photos are not used in our online galleries without your express written permission.
No. Our goal is to show you accurate, unedited versions of what you look like in our makeup and hair. We leave the retouching to your wedding photographer’s post production team.
Free. We truly believe this is the kind of high touch service that sets us apart. You will have the pictures in your inbox before you get home! Send them to your friends, family, and Facebook.
