Vendor Reviews

RoyalOrient

Hello ladies, I am actually a mod on the R.I board but because I used two CT vendors, I thought it would be helpful to post the reviews on this board too. I apologize for the lengthy reviews and the delay as I had a slow start to writing reviews. :-) Happy planning!
Sara Faella *****
As a woman of color, it has always been a harrowing experience for me to have my make up done professionally. So after several disastrous make up trials, I was delighted to have met Sara. She completely embraced my Asian features. And with the wave of her brushes, she turned my uneven skin tone into an impeccably even velvety complexion. Sara’s ability to highlight my finer features and downplay the rest is amazing. She creates this flawless universally appealing visage. For me, it was not only her ability to perfectly match my skin tone to the right shade of foundation but her wonderful bubbly personality. Sara never felt like a vendor to me. She was more like my friend and confidant.
On the day of the wedding, she got me dolled up at the crack of dawn (literally very early in the am) and than she came back with her assistant to do touch ups on me and apply air brush make up on my ladies. I was very pleased with my first look - although I would have preferred to have gone with less make up, traditional Cambodian wedding dictated otherwise. I also wish I decided to go more natural like at my trial but this bride was a bit indecisive at the last minute. As for my hair for the Cambodian ceremony – it held up perfectly. Sara is just as talented with a make up brush as she is with a curler. I was also impressed with her glam gal. She worked with my ladies to create a day to evening look that lasted all night. Sara also created the most beautiful floral hair pin for my big day. She designs custom pieces with great detail and tailors the accessories to the bride’s desire.

Visual-Obsession Modern Photography ***** 
You know when you hear a song that you really love and it makes you feel a certain way? Well that's how I felt when I first looked at Konrad & Piotr's collection of beautiful wedding photography. Their pictures are not your typical run of the mill wedding photos. Instead they are amazingly varied - from bold brassy colors to soft washed vintage and classic black and white. There is everything from the kinetic motion shots - like the ones of us jumping in mid air at our first photo session to the sweet intimate close ups of us kissing under the twinkling street lights in downtown Providence. The photos are really multi-dimensional just like everyday life. Yet despite this, they don't feel scattered at all when you look at them as a group. There's a real cohesiveness that comes from their amazing eye and their ability to connect with their clients is just as their impressive as their talent behind the lens. The mister and I are not photogenic so we appreciated their "direction" and their laid back easy going vibe really put us at ease. Communication wise - they were the most responsive vendor.
On our wedding day, they had their lovely assistant, Monika help cover the wedding. We had close to 200 people and with two wedding ceremonies, the extra set of eyes captured every moment of the day. They were completely unobtrusive and extremely patient with our crazy crowd. The final product - blew us away. Konrad and Piotr impressed us with their artistic composition and the cohesive narrative they created with our photos. We loved the cinematic slideshow and the online photo gallery including all the mini cards they gave to each of our guests at the wedding. Visual-Obsessionw as the best investment we made on our wedding day.

I'm a VO bride.. loved K & P.  I'll never forget on the morning of my wedding, sitting in the salon waiting to get my hair done and feeling like a bundle of nerves.  Konrad came right up to me and told me I looked tense and needed to chill out.  It was a snap back to reality that I really needed.  I can't tell you anything else the girls and I talked about that morning at the salon, but I remember that.

Thanks for the feedback ladies! Glad to hear their are other VO brides. I actually found them on the CT board from another bride and her review on weddingwire. 

Jenny, they are an amazing duo!
