Christine was pretty easy to work with in the beginning. I gave her a budget and she worked with us to stay within it. The centerpieces came out pretty nice, however, I was disappointed with how small the bouquets were and with the cake topper. I also did not like that we had scheduled a delivery time almost a year in advance, and she changed it at the last minute. It seems that she books too many weddings in one day and is unable to give the attention we would like for each wedding. I don't know if I would recommend her to any of my friends.
We had an e-session with Thai recently and what a wonderful experience! My fiance and I aren't the most comfortable in front of the camera, but Thai really made us feel at ease. He and Giao are an awesome pair! They both have a great eye for photography and they find the most beautiful places to take pictures wherever we went. We enjoyed working with them so much we have been recommending them to everyone we know!

If you're looking for a wonderful and affordable make up artist in the bay area, Giao is the perfect candidate. Not only is she talented but she is also extremely sweet. She really listens to what you want, but at the same time, she offers her true opinion and makes suggestions for improvement. She really thinks about what would look best on the day of your wedding. I didn't have any hair pieces in mind, and she made suggestions from her collection on what she thinks would look good with my dress and veil. I loved working with Giao for the trial and I look forward to working with her on my wedding day. I am recommending her to all my friends getting married in the area!
UPDATE 7/20/09
My wedding day finally came and thanks to Giao, we all looked fabulous! She did an amazing job on everyone's hair and make up, she was professional and personable with everyone, and she was way ahead of schedule, which allowed me to relax a bit! Everyone was happy with their hair and make up, even my tomboy sister liked her hair and asked for fake eyelashes!
My hair looked good all day, and although I was probably sweating for a few hours in the 90+ degree photo session, my make up still looked fabulous. She also brought several hair combs/pins for me to choose from. The one I had was perfect, just the right amount of bling. :)
I would recommend Giao to every bride out there, she made me feel like a bride. :)
