Monday, June 21, 2010 at 10:11AM i'm bringing back my old love- the monday shout out. *i also reserve the right to forget about the monday shout out for another 6 months, or more- it's wedding season and i'm lucky if i can remember to floss. SHOUT OUT for Paige Appel from Bash Eco Events. For being awesome and making things pretty, for sharing my workaholic spirit but not forgetting to sneak out for a margarita in the middle of the week, and for making me laugh.... holla! xoxo
monique lhullier sample sale- OMG!
Saturday, June 19, 2010 at 8:26AM If I were planning a wedding the title of this post would give me heart palpitations. Monique Lhullier is on of my all-time favorite wedding dress designers. I can't say enough about the dresses, they just take my breath away. If asked to imagine my perfect wedding dress it would no doubt be a dress by Monique....or maybe a combination of her dresses (always a fan of changing for the dance party!). Anyway brides-to-be, now is your chance to have the dress of your (my) dreams at a huge discount! Lucky lucky lucky. Happy shopping! xoxo

Brady and Kimi :: Twin Peaks Ranch, Ojai Wedding
Monday, May 17, 2010 at 10:12AM Here's a sneak peek of Kimi and Brady on their wedding day- again taken with my new favorite Polaroid 600 SE camera and Fuji instant film. Twin Peaks Ranch in Ojai is B-A-N-A-N-A-S! It's so lovely and inspiring that I was almost overwhelmed- 40 acres of southern California's prettiest landscape and rustic old buildings that just ooze romance. OMG. I can't wait to share all of the details of their day in a ridiculously huge post (or 3!) down the road. And I have to say, I haven't seen a dance party like that since Sayulita. Congratulations Kimi and Brady, thank you for spending so much of your day with us! Wishing you such a happy life together! xoxo ps- check out my facebook page for a little behind the scenes photobooth action of me and Jack at the wedding, courtesy of Santa Barbara Photobooth.
junia and andres :: san diego wedding
Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 8:51AM Junia and Andres are the cutest. couple. ever. I have a bazillion photos from their wedding day that make me smile. The amazing event design/coordination was done by the darling girls (and my dear friends) at Sitting in a Tree Events. I'm only posting a select few of my favorites from the day because Style Me Pretty did an amazing post that features the rest. There are some really incredible details and Tori's write up about the wedding inspiration is fantastic, so go here to see! Congratulations and big hugs to Junia and Andres! xoxo
PS- a full list of the vendors/sources/wedding creatives involved is on Style Me Pretty as well.
Michael and Lara :: Palm Springs Wedding
Monday, May 10, 2010 at 11:38AM Lara is insanely stylish, quick witted, kind hearted and an inspiring entrepreneur (if you haven't been to Thread Show, you're missing her renowned event that combines the worlds of must-have fashion, music and art- it's a seriously amazing shopping adventure!) Last weekend she was also the most glamorous bride you could dream up. Michael is a warm, hilarious, charming, well-loved, and highly respected cinematographer. Together they are magic. Their wedding was all of my favorite things about weddings: personal, emotional, funny, unique and chock full of laughter, love and happy tears. Congratulations Michael and Lara, wishing you a lifetime of love, creativity, and adventure! Here are a few photos from my Polaroid 600 SE... I am falling more and more in love with that camera every day (anyone want me to photograph their entire wedding in instant film??). Enjoy! xoxo
ps- lara and michael, thank you so much for braving the windiest wind i've ever photographed in and being such champs about it!
more of matt and abby- wedding in carmel, california
Thursday, May 6, 2010 at 8:30AM My love of instant film (first polaroid and now fuji instant film) began when I was in the 5th grade and begged for a Polaroid camera for Christmas. There's something so gratifying about seeing a picture come to life just minutes after you take it (yes, even more gratifying to me than seeing it on the back of my digital camera immediately). Each one is a perfect little piece of art, a one of a kind original that can be scanned but never duplicated. I love them! Here are a few more from Matt and Abby's charming wedding in Carmel. Can't wait to share the rest of the photos from their day! (and yes, there will be lots of wedding inspiration!) xoxo
