Wedding Blog

While waiting to post my pro pics, I thought I’d share some photos of my hair and makeup application by Sachiko Yanase for my day-after photoshoot with Angelica Glass. I had called Sachiko eons ago to try and book her for the wedding, but it was during the holiday season of last year, our schedules were colliding, and I never got a chance to meet her for a trial. But from all the internet buzz, I knew Sachiko was great and decided to book her for the shoot.I showed Sachiko some photos of my hair and makeup from the wedding. I asked her to emulate a similar down do (since I wanted a more relaxed tone for these photos) and natural makeup that could withstand an outdoor shoot. Here is what she came up with:

Under the garish bathroom light. Though it looks questionable, I am not naked, but wearing my strapless wedding gown!

Under my bright camera flash. See I wasn’t naked! You can see a bit of my gown.

How it looked in natural light during the shoot.

On top of it all, Sachiko helped me into my dress since there was no way I (or Mr. Canary!) could have done my corset on my own. So if you are still on the search for a hair and makeup artist, try Sachiko (though she is pretty booked through 2009). She’s friendly, sweet, relaxed, and makes you look beautiful!

Her rates when I first contacted her were $550 for six services (any combination of hair and makeup i.e. six hair; six makeup; three hair + three makeup). Please contact Sachiko for more accurate quotes.
