SR Bride Married at The Royal Victoria Yacht Club - Pete Snell Photography

The Sharon Rai Hair & Makeup Artistry Team arrived on-location to Joy's house to pamper her and her bridal party for her wedding taking place at The Royal Victoria Yacht Club.

Joy arrived in-studio a month before her wedding, for her wedding day preview, where we created her look.  She was inspired by a vintage theme, using smokey blues in the eyes, red lip, flawless skin, and a loose updo, which we added in hair extensions to create.



















As an SR bride, Joy has access to the images that were photographed at the wedding day preview, so she could review and make changes.  She opted to go with a softer cheek & lip color, to get the exact look she was going for.  Joy and her bridal party had an SR artist for touchups throughout the wedding day, making sure everyone looked perfect for all the shots.  Talented wedding photographer, Pete Snell Photography made a beautiful slideshow to showcase Joy's wedding!  Read about Joys experience, working with the SR team.

SR Bride Wedding Day Hairstyle

Sharon,

Just want to remind you of how appreciative I am to have had you a part of my wedding experience.  I had only had my hair done for an occasion once, 9 years ago, and it was awful.  Im truly not exaggerating, it was my sister's wedding and I couldn't stop thinking, at the time, how much I hated how I looked.  I didn't say anything because it was her day and I didn't want to take that away from her by complaining, so I sucked it up and looked ridiculous, but what a different experience I had this time.  I just felt so amazing the day of my engagement shoot, and my wedding day and its all because of YOU!  

Thanks again, Im so grateful!
