Getting started is simple! The best first step is to submit an inquiry through my website’s contact form so I can gather a few details about your wedding day, including your date, location, and the number of people in your party. Once I receive your inquiry, I’ll confirm availability and provide information about my services and booking process. If your date is available, we can move forward with securing it with a deposit and start booking your trial. From there, I’ll guide you through every step to make sure the process feels smooth and stress free. FOR INQUIRIES AND PRICING: https://sayokistudio.hbportal.co/public/689a8166ef1145000730bf47
My signature style focuses on enhancing natural beauty, gravitating toward radiant, healthy looking skin, soft definition, and balanced tones that photograph beautifully. I often work with brides who don’t want a cookie cutter approach and prefer something more personal, whether that means skipping foundation, avoiding glitter or shimmer, keeping the skin dewy and minimal, or even going without lashes. The same philosophy applies to brides who want something more high impact, like a red lip or heavier coverage. The goal is always the same: strip away what bridal makeup is “supposed” to be and provide a wedding makeup that reflects you.
What sets me apart is my focus on both the final look and the overall experience. I prioritize clear communication so that you're confident at every step. Each makeup look is thoughtfully customized to enhance your unique features and personal style, and I place strong emphasis on timelines so your morning runs smoothly. My goal is to handle the details and preparation well in advance so that as your wedding day approaches, everything is already taken care of. Decision fatigue is real as the date gets closer, and your glam time should be a moment to relax, feel taken care of, and enjoy the calm before the celebration.
I love being a part of weddings no matter where they take place, and I’m happy to travel anywhere to make your day special. Travel fees may apply depending on the distance, but I’m always willing to work with you to make it happen. Whether your wedding is in a completely different city, or a destination wedding in a different state or country, I’ll do my best to accommodate your location. Being there on-site allows me to provide a smooth and relaxed experience for you and your bridal party. No matter where your wedding is, my goal is to ensure you feel confident, comfortable, and beautiful on your big day.
I work as a one woman team, which allows me to focus fully on each client and provide a detailed, personalized experience. Because of this, I can accommodate the bride plus up to four additional guests. This ensures that everyone receives my full attention and that the morning runs smoothly and on time.

Our Extended Touch Up package is available for brides who want continued coverage after the ceremony. I can remain on site to refresh your makeup before and after key moments throughout the day, or add drama to the eyes or lips for a fun second look (especially helpful for longer timelines or outdoor events). Your wedding day is usually the most photographed day of your life, and having professional touch ups ensures your makeup stays fresh, polished, and photo ready from start to finish while giving you that extra support throughout the day. Availability and details for this service can be discussed when booking your wedding day services.
Absolutely! I provide makeup services for all clients, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Weddings are a celebration of every kind of love and all couples are equally deserving of being celebrated fully.

    Absolutely LOVED my makeup

    From our first conversation, I knew Sayoki Studio was the right choice for my engagement party. Sammy responded quickly to my messages and made me feel so comfortable talking through what I wanted. On the day of my engagement party, she had me feeling calm and confident, and her makeup stayed flawless through the heat and dancing all night long. She brought my inspiration photos to life perfectly and even adjusted the look to be a bit more dramatic in certain areas when I asked since I wanted a very glowy, bronze glam look for my party. Her work enhanced my natural features and made me feel like me! She's not just skilled at what she does.... she's also professional, reliable, and genuinely easy to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough for any bride looking for a makeup artist who truly listens and delivers!!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a sweet review! I’m so glad I could be part of your engagement celebration and help you feel your best that night. I really enjoyed creating your look and getting to play with the level of glam you were going for. Knowing that you felt confident, comfortable, and still like yourself is exactly what I hope for every client. I’m so grateful you chose me and truly appreciate your kind words!

    Amazing Indian Bridal Makeup!

    Sammy did an incredible job with my bridal makeup for my Indian wedding. As someone with a medium-to-dark skin tone wearing a multicolored lehenga, I wasn’t sure what makeup look would complement everything without feeling overdone. From our very first chat, Sammy took the time to understand my preferences and walked me through different options, explaining what would best suit my features, outfit, and duration of the event. She didn’t place pressure on me and truly made the experience collaborative. On the wedding day, she brought such a calming, reassuring energy to the room, that was otherwise chaotic. Out of the many things I was worried about, working with Sammy elevated any stress I had about my makeup. My makeup looked perfect and looked exactly how I wanted it to on the pictures. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better artist! I would recommend Sammy to any bride, especially those who have darker skin tones like mine.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! I’m so happy to hear that you felt confident and at ease throughout the whole process. It was such a pleasure getting to know your vision and finding a look that complemented everything while still feeling like you. And knowing I could bring a little calm to such a busy wedding morning means so much to me. You looked absolutely gorgeous, and I’m truly grateful I got to be part of your wedding day. Thank you for trusting me!

    Sammy is a pro!

    Sayoki Studio was absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. Sammy took the time to understand my olive skin tone and worked patiently with me through multiple consultations to nail down exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. Her makeup application was flawless and held up beautifully, even after 14 hours of wear. When my hair didn’t turn out as expected the morning of the wedding, I was pretty distraught. Sammy jumped in without hesitation to fix my makeup and make sure everything was perfect before the ceremony. Her kindness and support during that stressful moment meant the world to me and helped me get back to feeling excited about the day. I couldn’t recommend her more!

    Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly such a pleasure working with you, and I’m so grateful you trusted me to be part of your wedding day. I know how quickly those little unexpected moments can feel overwhelming on a wedding morning, so I’m really glad I could be there to help. You were absolutely beautiful, and I’m so happy I got to be part of making you feel your best.

    Do not hesitate— just book with Sammy!

    Sammy is truly the best wedding makeup artist in the Bay Area. I was hesitant to book a makeup artist because my skin tone is difficult to match, and contour often makes me look gray or ashy. Sammy’s expertise in color completely put me at ease—she knew exactly what shades and techniques would work best for my skin, and the result was flawless. It was the most beautiful I’ve ever felt. She genuinely listened to what I wanted, took the time to prep my skin properly before application, and made sure everything looked perfect. Beyond her talent, Sammy is incredibly kind, professional, and easy to work with, which made the entire experience stress-free on such an important day. I would book her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her enough to future brides.

    It was such a joy to be part of your wedding day, and I’m so happy you felt comfortable putting your trust in me. Creating a look that makes you feel confident while still feeling like yourself is always my goal, so hearing that you felt the most beautiful you’ve ever felt means the world to me. I’m so grateful I got to work with you and be a small part of such a special day. Thank you!

    Wedding Makeup Glam

    My friend had hired her to do her wedding glam a couple years ago and she had also done the glam for the bridesmaids as well (I was a bridesmaid). She was so great that I had decided to hire her to do my own glam for my wedding day and let me tell you she was AMAZING. The professionalism was top notch. She communicates very well and is timely. She is so knowledgeable and really knows how to work with all skin types as well as different skin tones (my bridal party is very diverse). I'll admit I was a bit difficult and had kept changing my mind and was unsure of what type of makeup I wanted for my wedding but Sammy was really patient and helped me narrow down what I really wanted even when I couldn't exactly convey what I was trying to go for during our trials. One thing I will also note is that she is SUPER organized and CLEAN. I am a bit of a germaphobe and everything about her kit and her process was sanitary. Absolutely amazing experience with her. She made me feel soooo beautiful on my wedding day. I highly recommend her. Thank you SO much Sammy!

    Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! It truly means so much to me, especially knowing that you had been a bridesmaid for a wedding I did years ago and then trusted me with your own wedding day. It was such a pleasure working with you and your bridal party, and I’m so glad we were able to figure out exactly what you were envisioning together. You were absolutely beautiful, and I’m so grateful I got to be a part of such a special day. Thank you again for trusting me and for your incredibly kind words!
