April + Wil at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco (Wedding Hair and Makeup)

July 5, 2010

April booked us for her makeup and hair nearly a year in advance for her July 4th weekend wedding at the Palace Hotel. This proved to be a wise decision on her part, as we had over 100 inquiries for her date from when she booked us. After attending her bridal trial in late 2009, she added eight more people for hair and makeup.

And as always, it was a pleasure to work with one of San Francisco’s best wedding photographers, Jessie Cho. Thank you Jessie, these are amazing!

Angela + Jay | Wedding Hair & Makeup at Berkeley Rose Garden

June 1, 2010

We recently had the pleasure of working with Angela and Jay for their wedding at the Berkeley Rose Garden, located in the beautiful Berkeley hills next to the UC Berkeley Campus.

Angela was looking for a timeless, natural look for her makeup, and chose individually placed eyelashes for her eyes. Mei and Angela worked closely to come up with a unique style for the back of her updo, shown below:

Lastly, we were thrilled to work with Mike and Natasha from Choco Studio Photography again — they are all smiles! Friendly, professional, fast turnaround, and most important, their work is stellar. Below are some of the moments they captured while we were getting ready before the ceremony at the Berkeley Rose Garden. Enjoy!

Napa Hair and Makeup for Weddings

March 5, 2010

We had the pleasure of working with Rebecca and Anthony at their Napa valley wedding at the Churchill Manor. Rebecca intially wanted a half up, half down updo to show off her long, loose curls for her wedding hair style. After trying it down at the trial, she decided on a full updo, covered by her beautiful veil. For her wedding makeup, she wanted something classic and refined, but something that also looked current.

We also worked with one of Napa’s best wedding photographers, Shannon Stellmacher. We love Shannon’s style — fine art, fashion inspired couture wedding photography.

Congratulations to Rebecca, Anthony, and Shannon for an amazing event!
