A Post Wedding Photo Session - San Francisco

I had the honor of styling Laura for her wedding at Auberge du Soleil in Napa last year. This year, she and her husband decided to have a post wedding photo session in San Francisco with the talented Augie Chang again. I'm so touched that Laura has asked me to style her again for this post wedding shoot. Laura has shoulder length hair but like her wedding day, she opted for long, flowy locks so I put in hair extensions for her to create her dream look.

AMANDA & STEVEN'S WEDDING AT JULIA MORGAN BALLROOM

Amanda + Steven from Phillip V on Vimeo.


Amanda came to me with many photos and ideas for styling her hair for her wedding day, I'm so glad she did because we were able to incorporate most of the styles she liked (low chignon, lots of volume in the front with bangs all swept back, lots of textures on the side and in the back) into the final design.  Amanda's hair is naturally very straight and super thick,  I had to give her hair lots of curls in order to create the details that she liked.  Her hair lasted beautifully despite being in the rain and through lots of shaking and dancing (as seen in the video).  I gave her burgundy highlights the week before her wedding to make the details of the style more dimensional instead of looking like one dark bundle of hair. I always recommend dark haired brides to consider getting highlights before the wedding for that reason.  
Because Amanda is used to wearing makeup on a daily basis, she wanted a more dramatic look for her wedding.  I blended grays and plums for a smokey effect that suits Amanda's skin tones. Amanda's bridal party and herself were all very happy with the looks I created for them and I couldn't be happier for her and Steven.  Congratulations Amanda!  I can't wait to see photos of this wedding from talented Kevin Chin of Kevin Chin Photography.

The Wedding of Elaine & Edmond

When Elaine's sister in law first contacted me about being Elaine's stylist for her wedding day a month before the wedding, she had already warned me, "Elaine never wears makeup and she's just had a haircut so her hair is quite short. But she would like an up-do and very, very natural makeup." I took the advice to heart and gave her a very natural look, without using any shimmer to the eyes but opted for natural highlights throughout her face. I dusted a highlighter on top of her cheekbones, brow bones, bridge of her nose and chin. I'm glad that she and the groom were both very satisfied with the results.

Miss Yosemite Valley 2010

I had the pleasure of working with Jasmine N. in December on a photo shoot and I was so excited and honored when she asked me to be one of her sponsor for the Miss Yosemite Valley pageant. I started with coloring her hair to a honey blonde 3 weeks before the pageant. On the week of the pageant, we collaborated on creating different looks for her outfits at her Stanford dorm room. We started off the day of with a casual business look for her interview. I put Stila's Launey and Sun eyeshadow for her eyes and individual lashes to make them bigger but not too dramatic. Instead of a blush, I chose a bronzer for her cheeks and the color looked fantastic on her. After her initial interview, we let her hair down and created soft big waves and added more shadow and lashes for an on stage look. I added a dark brown shadow on the crease and a white shadow under the brow bone for highlighting. I finished her look with a dust of Guerlain's Meteorites Powder. She looked amazing but more importantly, her performance for the night was stunning. For her talent category, she played Vivaldi's Four Seasons: Summer 3rd Mvt. on the violin and you can hear her passion coming through the music. I was so proud when she was crowned Miss Yosemite Valley 2010. Next, Miss California 2010, here we come!
