Ashley & Manny on Grey Likes Weddings.

Still so stinking excited that Ashley and Manny's engagement session was featured on Grey Likes Weddings that I forgot to post the good news on my blog.  Click here to view the entire pretty post.

Ashley + Manny = Engaged

One of my best friends is getting married and I couldn't be happier. I had the pleasure of photographing their engagement session and chose to shoot them at Hatfield Orchids in Oxnard, CA. A perfect backdrop for a beautiful couple.

All the best to Ashley and Manny!

Happy Monday.

Cannot believe that we are in March. The past few months have flown by! And they have been filled to the brim with fun wedding events.

Today though, I had a surprise email waiting for me in my inbox letting me know that the wedding that Melanie and I had stylized ourselves is featured on The Collection Event Studio's blog. Eeeehh!! We are thrilled and so honored.
Also, have I mentioned lately how much I love my job? I get to hang out with people who are so in love and vendors who LOVE what they do. It doesn't get any better.

happy monday!

Utterly Engaged shin dig.

I had so much fun last night at the Utterly Engaged party. There were 13 talented groups that collaborated to create a sweetheart table. The winner will be announced March 19th in the next issue of UE mag. I met a lot of super passionate vendors who love what they do and it shows. Looking forward to the Cream event tonight to meet some more.
There were some really great color palette ideas and I loved the painted succulents on table #13 and the sequined table cloth on the Cupcakes and Cutlery team table. I'm sold on anything with glitter or sequins on it.  I thought the Gather table had a really ambitious way to present their cake. It was beautiful. And if you were wondering, yes that is a flower sushi roll. Amazing!! (made by Bride and Bloom who was teamed with the Itty Bitty Party Committee table.) The IBPC gals also know how to make numerous animal origami and they enjoy doing it. :)

Cheers!

Shoes.

On Saturday morning I woke up to a lovely blog post on Style Me Pretty about Milk and Honey. I was thrilled to see that one of my images made it at the top of the post. I loved the shoes and thought it deserved it's own post too.  

Stylized Wedding.

Happy February 1st to you. Excited to share a stylized wedding inspired by blush, black and gold. 
Our location was the Gardner Building in Ventura. It is a converted bank that is owned by the Watermark restaurant right up the street. This building is stunning with the high ceilings and large windows. It would be a great place to host a reception after saying your vows on the beach or if you don't want to get sand in your feet, the Mission is super close and the courthouse is a stones throw.

I'm obsessed with Lette Macarons. Delicious tasting and looking. Why not put them on a cake?

We asked Katie King Rumford to create an art deco invitation package with our colors blush, gold, black and white. (She also created my branding!)

Shoes are from Milk and Honey. Amazing site that you can customize your shoes.  

The gorgeous hair and makeup was done by Erin LeBre. Love the organic hairstyle she did and the natural makeup.
