their wedding is featured in the current Orange Coast Weddings.  I love how the magazine told the story of Erin and Michael.  This wedding was so fun to be a part of and I’ve enjoyed getting to know Erin over the past year.  Congrats you two!  By the way, if you go to the Erin Cole website you will see some of my photos from Erin’s ad campaign and go here to see the Landrover commercial that was filmed in her salon.  If you look really close you can see the one of the photos I shot hanging in the background.  How fun is that!

and their fabulous Westlake Village Inn wedding and then Mission San Juan Capistrano day after session?  Well yesterday I got an email from Tara at Ephemera Press about using some of my images to feature their wedding on her blog.  Tara designed the gorgeous letterpress invitations you can see in the detail collage below.  I love letterpress. There’s something about it that just makes me so happy!  So please, head on over to the Ephermera blog to see Lu Lu and Charles’ invitations and more of Tara’s incredible work.  I love how she works with her couples to design something that is uniquely theirs and I love sharing great vendors with my blog readers.  Have a great day.  A bazillion weddings coming soon.

inspirational brides!!! I was so excited when I saw Scotia and Juan’s wedding images feature in an inspiration board contest on the awesome blog Southern Weddings.  Fuss Jewelry is sponsoring an inspiration board contest and the winner will receive a $400 necklace.  So go on over to the Southern Weddings blog and vote for you favorite and make someone very happy and better adorned.  Here’s the board with Scotia and Juan’s wedding photos. 

They say less is more.  Let’s hope not.  I find it somewhat ironic that I can’t seem to choose photos for a new website yet I can’t seem to narrow down photos for blog posts.  So here you go.  A major, major blog post.  Probably the mother of all blog posts so far.  Blame it on Christine and Reggie.  I’m guessing more on Christine though.  She planned the most beautiful wedding.  And did so much of it herself.  When I arrived on the wedding day she was on the floor putting together the bouquets!  And did you see her dress?  How do I get brides with such style?  I love it!  And her bridesmaids dresses were fabulous.  That steely grey.  I loved it too.  So here’s more, Part II.  Enjoy!  Hope this holds everyone over for a few days.  Lots more weddings coming and I’m so excited about my latest wedding that was published I’m almost about to bust waiting to share.  Happy Wednesday!
