I’m already in the mood for the holidays! And parties! And everything yummy that comes with both. I’m also in planning mode for a friend’s baby shower in February. So it was just a matter of time before I found these FAB hanging tassel garlands. OH MY! I’ve stumbled upon a couple weddings with colorful fabric strands hung from walls and ceilings. Loving the new twist to the pom-poms, paper lanterns, mobiles, etc. I’m absolutely in-aw with their color choices and all made by hand! Come….swoon with me.

Yay! Honored to have one of my wonderful couple’s wedding featured on Wedding Chicks this past Monday! I was in-flight for most of the day so just now posting on my blog ;) You’ll gush over all their handmade details! See their handmade California ranch wedding here!

How’s Tuesday coming along for you? I’m playing catch-up from a quick weekend getaway for a friends out-of-state birthday party! With weddings over, this week is devoted to production from my October photo shoot with Cheree Berry Paper (for their new website! See what we did in May here and here). The lovely Nora (CBP’s project guru, crafter and knows-where-everything is gal) took some shots of our 4th day of the photo shoot at the incredible home of Amie Corley (see what she’s done here and here). THANKS NORA! (more…)

Coming to you a little late, sorry!! My lovely couple Denise & Dave’s backyard wedding was featured on one of my favorite wedding blogs – Green Wedding Shoes! See it here! THANKS JEN!

Hello strangers! I’ve been away on my last travel whirlwind for the year – SF to Chicago for my last wedding of 2010. Chicago to St. Louis for another week long photoshoot of Cheree Berry Paper (can’t wait to see all our hard work on their new website! see part 1 and 2 of our last shoot) and now back home! I’ll be having some heavy post-production weeks with a bit of Halloween and Thanksgiving in between before it’s December…holy cow already! Also, a reminder to brides and grooms looking for 2011 vendors – booking season is NOW! Get’em while we are hot! And now, I leave you with some snaps that I took while in Chicago of my friend’s new pup named Frankie! (more…)

Happy almost weekend! You remember Kristen and Gene’s Sunday Stroll? Their recent and lovely downtown Chicago wedding was a classic elegance with a hint of retro. Thankfully, the big chance of rain never happened (thanks mother nature!) but the wind gusts took over. But if that was our biggest challenge, fashion wind with a plush veil…well I’ll take it! Super sweet couple with incredible charm! Big thanks to my right-hand photo lady Amy. Enjoy the sneak! (more…)

Dreamy, dreamy, dreamy!! Caroline and Andres’s wedding was simply that. All the elements of a perfect wedding day mashed together and  the best part – these two were just beaming at one another! Best yet, my dream of photographing at Beltane Ranch in Sonoma with the most fantastical couple came true. This handmade-with-love wedding will have you drooling over the gorgeous couple, family and friends along with the diy details. Big thanks to my lovely right-hand photo lady, Jenna! Enjoy the sneak peek! (more…)
