The Cover of this season's Real Weddings Magazine features the stunning Sarah Sutton, a Real Life Bride. Sarah just happened to be OUR Real Life Bride.

Our Wonderful Makeup Artist, Jenifer Haupt had the privilege of doing Sarah's hair and makeup on her wedding day. So you can imagine how thrilled we were to find out that we had been teamed up with Sarah once again for the fabulous photo shoot with Real Weddings.

It was a fun and fast paced day at the beautiful Citizen Hotel in Sacramento. Three Real Life bride's were the subjects, each one paired with a team of artists to do their hair & makeup.

The wonderful Beth Baugher of True Love Photo took the three of them singly and together to capture some amazing shots.

All three of the beautiful brides will be featured on the Summer Edition of Real Weddings, but the Fall Issue will feature Sarah by herself as the Cover Model Contest Winner.

The Artists of Image Provocateur were honored to once again be a part of this amazing contest and thrilled to be the team that won the cover!

Stylist of the Month - Jenifer Haupt

by Arrvada
Fashion design has always been Jenifer Haupt's obsession. From high school she entered the fashion industry on the retail side and quickly found that her passion was in the creation of art and fashion and not simply the distribution. Over eight years ago she channeled her love for design and retail savvy into a successful jewelry design business.

Her handcrafted pieces of jewelry are made with genuine Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. Each one is unique, rarely duplicated and Jenifer made a very successful name for herself. Jenifer has also expanded her jewelry business which now includes one of a kind hair accessories and wedding hair pieces. All available at Image Provocateur.

However, never one to stay sedentary Jenifer sought to achieve her license as a cosmetologist to further broaden her creative outlets. Her keen eye for glamour and style has made her one of the top nail art designers in the area. Her signature stiletto nails, all the rage now in Europe, and her Rock Star toes, set her apart from any other nail technician.

In 2007 she became a key member of the Image Provocateur & VIP-CAT Cosmetics team, becoming one of our top Makeup Artists and bringing to Image Provocateur all her extensive talents.

Jenifer became a teacher of VIP-CAT Academy in 2009 she also is one of our lead makeup artists at Image Provocateur bringing her extensive talents to her brides and clients. Jenifer is an amazing artist, bringing the beauty out of every bride.

She is a talented and beautiful addition to the Image Provocateur Team.
