Claremont Hotel Brazilian Room Wedding Hair and Makeup

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!

Palace Hotel Wedding Makeup and Hair

“Dearest Mei, Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job with my hair and makeup. You made me look naturally beautiful and that made me the most happiest bride in the world! I hope you noticed that in my wedding pictures :) You are such a talented artist and I am very grateful and honored to have had you there as I prepared for my big day. We also wanted to thank Robert and Jack for being there as well!

I will definitely recommend you to everyone I know who we be getting married. Thanks again, Mei… You are a very sweet and beautiful person and I’m so happy that I met you. Take care and I wish you well, Love April”

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.

Julie + Ryan | Bear Flag Farm (Hair and Makeup)

We met Julie early this year at her bridal trial for her wedding at Bear Flag Farm, just a few miles from the UC Davis Campus in Winters, CA.

Julie originally wanted a soft natural look, and after previewing our bridal trial photos, she decided to go with slightly bolder features. After taking detailed notes, on the day of the wedding we confirmed the changes and were set to work with her and her party. This photo is from her trial at our studio in San Francisco:

After we got ready at their bridal suite, Julie worked with Mei on the farm for some quick touch-ups.

Julie’s was the first wedding of the season at Bear Flag Farm, and we were so thrilled to work with Tina and the crew prior to their ceremony. These shots are courtesy of the very talented Sherman Chu, a skilled photographer who has a gift for capturing the best wedding moments, see below:

Wedding Hair and Makeup at Berkeley Rose Garden

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!
