Real Weddings Partner Profile: Dynamic Images Salon & Day Spa
Welcome back to another installment of Real Weddings Magazine’s Partner Profiles!
This week, we profile beauty expert Fay Linson, owner of Dynamic Images Salon & Day Spa in Placerville. We got to work with Fay most recently on our Winter/Spring 2011 cover model finalist photo shoot — her team provided the hair and makeup for or cover model finalist, Elizabeth (featured on the right of our Spring 2011 cover below). Take it away, Fay…

Dynamic Images Salon & Day Spa
Tell us a little about your company? Hair-care, skin-care, makeup, nail-care and body-care all located under one roof in Placerville.
When did you establish your business? In business for 35 years!
What sets you apart from your competition? Consistent quality, fair prices and a friendly atmosphere.
What trend do you see coming for weddings in the next year? Unstructured hair – less ‘done’ although definitely polished. It has a softer feel to it, not so lacquered into place. Makeup is clean and simple, letting perfect skin shine through. Earth tones in the eyes, although lips can stand out a bit more.
Do you Facebook? YES! Like our Facebook page here!
What’s your favorite local restaurant? Hey Day Café, yum!
What is your favorite fun thing to do locally? We forget how fantastic Tahoe can be, I guess we take it for granted because it’s so close!
What are you most grateful for in life? My family and friends – their health and well-being.
What advice would you can give to brides and grooms getting married today? Marriage is never a 50/50 split – it’s more like 30/70. But who is the 30 and who is the 70 should change back and forth so in the end, it evens out. Marriage is not easy, you have to work at it to make it successful, just like anything great in your life. Don’t take it for granted, and don’t run at the first rough patch. It can be the best thing in your life if you put effort in to it.

Real Weddings Sunday: Presenting Sara Cook and Scott Mann
The Couple: Sara Cook and Scott Mann
Wedding Date: June 4, 2011
Photography by Andrea’s Images Photography
Tell us a little about you and your beloved: Scott and I are both native Sacramentans. We were in our early 30s when we met and knew pretty quickly that we had finally met our perfect match. We were engaged a little less than a year after we met and then married a year later.
What was the most amazing part of your day? It had been raining the week leading up to the wedding and all day on the actual day. We had no hope that the rain would let up but shortly before the wedding started, the rain stopped and we had beautiful weather for the rest of the evening!
What else would you like to share about your big day? We had such a great time having all of our family and friends there to help us celebrate. It was such a fun party!

We Have A New Cover Model Winner!
That’s right folks, the Winter/Spring 2011 issue of Real Weddings Magazine arrives at our offices tomorrow, but we’re just too excited to keep a lid on the news any longer!
On the Winter 2011 Cover of Real Weddings Magazine: On Shelbie: dress from Miosa Bride, hat from Louise Green Millinery, flowers by Visual Impact Design.
Congratulations to Sacramento area real bride, Shelbie Brassfield, for being chosen as our cover model winner!
Shelbie, along with her other real bride cover model finalists, Terra Galvez and Elizabeth Burdick, were chosen from hundreds of entries in our cover model contest. We’re thrilled to have her grace the cover of our Winter 2011 issue!
Back in September, we put these girls through their paces at an all day photo shoot at the beautiful Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort. Featuring local gowns, local floral designers, local hair and make-up teams and the utterly fantastic local photographer Andrea Price from Andrea’s Images Photography, our cover model photo shoot truly was exhilarating! Frankly almost too exhilarating because all of the photos were so fantastic, it was hard to narrow it down to the ones we’d feature in the magazine, and then ultimately, which ones we’d feature on the covers.
We’ll share the Spring 2011 cover — which will feature all three of our cover model finalists — with you soon along with more photos from the shoot. But for now, you’ll just have to be satisfied with these images of our beautiful cover model finalists Shelbie, Elizabeth and Terra!

And I would be completely remiss if I didn’t take this opportunity to thank not only our cover model finalists and my amazing Real Weddings Team who helped to produce this piece (Aimee, Sheree, Desiree, Gloria, Nicole, Leah and Megan), but also all of the incredibly gracious and talented vendors who participated in this shoot. Photo shoots are not easy and it takes a boatload of resources to pull them off, and we are incredibly grateful to all of the vendors who helped us with this feature!
