Read UK Bride, Anna’s experience as a SR Bride and working with Sharon Rai Hair & Makeup Artistry on-location at the Keirestell Bed & Breakfast in the Cowichan Valley.
“When my fiancé and I decided to get married on Vancouver Island I knew I may have a challenge finding a hair and makeup artist on the internet. I needed to find someone I could communicate with through email and telephone only, and someone I could trust to help me decide on my bridal look 2 days before our wedding……I found this in Sharon!!
I found Sharon through a search engine, her website looked very professional and models looked glamorous and stunning so I got in contact and Sharon was very sweet and helpful on the phone and decided to make a booking.
I had my wedding day preview at Sharon’s studio with my bride’s maid, my mum and mother in law, she provided sparkling wine and canapés and we had a great afternoon and she helped me to decide on my look, and the added touch of professional photos enables you to really see what you will look like.
Sharon being able to come to our wedding location was great help and made the day less stressful.
I was so happy with all of our makeovers; you made me feel truly amazing on the most special day of my life. Thank you”
Anna
“Below is our favourite photo. We feel it captured the day perfectly….raining but beautiful with the fog up in the mountains and lush green trees, and also shows the beauty of Canada even in the rain…..what we love so much.”

The Sharon Rai Hair & Makeup Artistry Team had the pleasure of being part of beautiful model, Brooke Anderson’s Grad Makeover Party for her Reynolds high-school prom in Victoria, BC at the Inn at Laurel Point. Brooke was one of the original SR Models, three years ago, so we were honored to be the artists chosen for her Grad Party. We arrived on-location creating unique looks for her and twelve of her girlfriends. A great way to be pampered before a big night, with friends, family, food & refreshments, and a team of skilled artists! The dresses were beautiful, the girls were fantastic – including the parents! View images from the Grad Party Makeover!
Congratulations too all of you, this is only the beginning….

Read Jennifer’s experience as a SR Bride working with Sharon Rai Hair & Makeup Artistry:
“I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic job you did doing my make-up and hair. I feel really lucky to have found such an experienced, professional, and creative make-up artist, as well as being a really nice and warm person. I felt totally confident for my wedding day. Sharon made lots of great suggestions on how I might like to have my hair and make-up, whilst also listening to what I would like. I would highly recommend the “Wedding Day Preview” that Sharon offers. The preview was informal and relaxed. It made my wedding day much less stressful, and it was fun to put on my dress and accessories to see how everything looked together in advance of the big day.
Sharon was always really quick to respond to my emails and I cannot wait to have another occasion that will mean I can ask Sharon to do my make-up and hair again! I would recommend Sharon to anyone who wants to have their make-up and hair professionally done for any special occasion. Quite simply she is fantastic!
Thank you Sharon so much for all your help and advice leading up to and on my wedding day!”

Sharon Rai Hair & Makeup Artistry had the pleasure to work with the talented, Jessie Holland from Jesse Holland Photography. This time instead of her taking the images, she was going to be on the other side of the lens, in a photo shoot. Jesse, doesn’t usually wear makeup, so it was exciting to make her over!
We went with strong eyes in deep forest green shades mixed with black giving a smokey effect. Cheeks & lips were in soft pink tones, with hair teased, in soft waves. At the end of her style session she looked like a modern day Barbie! Read her experience on the other side of the lens!
Her & Kevin, her husband, did an amazing job on the images, view the photo shoot.

What should we wear? How should I do my makeup/hair?
It depends on what kind of engagement photo shoot you and your groom want. Some couples treat their engagement photo shoot like it’s for a magazine cover, and others just want to look like they do every day. You can dress as casual or formal as you like — whatever feels the most like you as a couple.
It also depends on whether or not you choose a theme for the photo shoot. If you want a 1920s vintage theme, you’ll have to pick an outfit based on that. If you’ll be taking photos on a beach, you might wear bathing suits for some of the pictures and then change into jeans and T-shirts for the rest.
Once you know what direction you’re going in, choose an outfit you feel your best in. Try to complement your shape and enhance your best features. If you don’t normally wear makeup, you should wear some for your photo shoot. You and your fiance don’t have to match, but you could coordinate your outfits so that the colors don’t clash.
