New Years Eve St. Ann's Academy Wedding Makeup Artist - Sharon Rai

New Year Eve weddings are a festive way to ring in the new year!  This year we had the pleasure to work with Jaime Faford, and her bridal party.  Sharon Rai Hair & Makeup Artistry arrived on-location to Renes Hair Studio in Victoria, BC.  Rene did a great job on the hairstyles!  With Jaime's makeup, we wanted to create a dramatic and feminine, smokey eye, which was a popular makeup trend for 2010.  We choose neutral colors for her lips and cheeks, so they wouldn't distract from the bold eyes.  

BK Studios Design Photography did an amazing video for the couple, the wedding took place at St. Ann's Academy, they both looked stunning.  

Congratulations Jaime & Denis!
