We first worked with Stephanie as a bridesmaid at another wedding a few years back, and had the great pleasure of working with this time as a bride! Things kicked off early morning at the luxurious Hotel Vitale in downtown San Francisco and it turned out to be a beautiful, clear day. The following photos are courtesy of the great destination wedding photographer Aubrey Joy. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Jenn has got to be the sweetest person we’ve ever met. And we love the glasses! The wedding was at the Marin Headlands Center for the Arts this May – rustic and super creative theme, perfect weather, stunning scenery, and just great company. Thanks to Christina Richards for these fun photos.

Yelp on 5/23/11: “It took me a while to find a hair stylist and make up artist for my wedding. YELP helped to make a choice and I am happy that I chose Triple Twist. Mei and Robert were an absolute pleasure to work with. It was a very easy and stress-free process. Robert was great at scheduling the services and the trial. Mei did a great job with the hair and make-up. Many guests commented that my hair looked great on the wedding day; the make-up was done very well and it looked fresh the entire night. Both Robert and Mei are very kind, professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend Triple Twist. The products and techniques that Mei uses are great for weddings as I did not have to worry about my hair or make-up the entire evening.
Mei and Robert, thank you for making my wedding day a special one. We wish you all the best and many more brides to come.
Yulia B.”
Thank you Yulia!
Stannia rocks, seriously. Fun, happy, positive, just a great experience all around. We’re also happy that the orchid from our studio will forever live in these photos!
Stannia’s very talented wedding photographer Erwin Wijanto recently sent over these photos from their City Hall ceremony. Enjoy!

We were so pleased to work with Liane and her mother at the very scenic and peaceful Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley late last year. Thanks to Ian Martin Photography for this cool shot before the ceremony.
Great moments of Rachel and Lee’s wedding in Berkeley. Thanks to Matthias Photography for these pictures!
Just off a flight from Houston, Texas, Wendi contacted us for engagement hair and makeup for her engagement photo shoot in San Francisco.
“I was so impressed with how well my makeup stayed all day with the bad weather. I assumed it would melt right off, but when we went to dinner that night it looked just as good as it did when I walked out of your salon!” – Wendi T
Thank you Wendi, it was a blast!
Bethany contacted us from Washington and secured her date for her wedding at Casa Real at the iconic Ruby Hill Winery. Her vision was elegant, natural makeup and a graceful updo with a gardenia to compliment her beautiful wedding dress and Tiffany jewelry. We loved hearing about how she met Gary and their plans for the future.

Robert snapped this trial photo and emailed it same day, a free service included as part of our bridal trials.

Erica booked us for on-location hair and makeup at the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley, California for her wedding at the Brazilian Room.
For hair, Erica loved the idea of having her hair down with a sweeping, understated braid to accentuate her half up, half down hair style. She also wanted lots of volume for the top and back of her hair. Mei created a natural look for her makeup, using a soft pink Chanel waterproof lipstick, and accentuated Erica’s beautiful eyes with long, individually placed lashes. After viewing the post trial photos, she loved the way they looked we were ready to go!
Stephen Hughes was a blast to work with, and took these great photos of Erica and Mike’s big day, thank you Stephen!
Jennifer, we loved working with you back in May! Jennifer wanted light and natural looking makeup with a simple bun for her wedding at Flying Cloud. We got ready at the Sheraton in Petaluma, and it turned out to be a beautiful, sunny day. Photos courtesy of Jihan Cerda Photography.
Dara, her mother, and her sister scheduled makeup and hair trials for Dara’s wedding at Stern Grove in San Francisco.
We had a blast shooting the trial photography at her makeup trial at our studio in San Francisco.
