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!

Lulu + Ken | Makeup and Hair in Tiberon, California

May 14, 2010

In late 2009, we collaborated with international wedding photographer Henry Chen at Lulu and Ken’s wedding at the Shakespeare Garden in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. Henry is in high demand — when he is not shooting for the NBA, he is shooting weddings and special events all over the globe. Below are some of the memories from their beautiful wedding in the Bay Area. Thanks to Lulu and Ken for such an memorable wedding!

Wedding Makeup and Hair at Saint Ignatius Church, San Francisco

April 23, 2010

Jennifer scheduled her bridal trial, excited to go over ideas for hair and makeup for her upcoming wedding at St. Ignatius Church in San Francisco.

At our studio, we discussed Jennifer’s goals, the wedding theme and colors, and went over a few looks that she brought in.

We did makeup first, using our ultra-lightweight MUD foundations. For her lips, I chose Chanel Rouge Double Intensite in Rose Pearl. To create more refined, dramatic look, we used Shu Umuera individually placed eyelashes to really accentuate her eyes. I then created a bridal hairstyle that matched Jennifer’s personality: a sleek, elaborate updo that lasted all day.

Thank you Jennifer and Tim, we loved working with you! And a special thanks to the talented Sylvie Gil for her great photography.

Pam & Bill – Tea Ceremony, Wedding Hair and Makeup

March 11, 2010

We worked with Pam late last year for her tea ceremony and wedding hair and makeup in San Francisco. As we set up our on-location kit at her home for her Chinese tea ceremony and started the services, we shared laughs and stories with her mother and family.

Just before the tea ceremony…

Hair design by Mei: Pulled Back with a puff and bun

As Mei was finalizing Pam’s hair design, David Ham (seriously one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s best wedding photographers), arrived with his crew and equipment and got right to work. It’s because of clients like Pam and Bill that we love our job. Enjoy some of the joyous moments from their ceremony below, special thanks to David for the photography!
