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. 

for featuring Lindsay and Hank’s fabulously fun Cabo wedding!  To see the feature and Lisa and Meaghan’s blog from their darling Bridal Salon, Tulle, in Martha’s Vineyard go here.  And yes, Lisa is THE Lisa Pyden who is also an amazing photographer and has been such an inspiration to me and so supportive since I first met her in a photography forum a few years ago.  I think this feature calls for a field trip out to Martha’s Vineyard to thank the Tulle gals myself! 

and an even bigger thank you to Emily of Once Wed and Elizabeth  of Elizabeth Anne Designs for featuring another wedding.  Both of these blogs are great resources if you’re planning a wedding.  I wish they would have been around when I was getting married.  And just in case you missed it here’s a link to the original post from Erin & Michael’s wedding and the ad shoot I did for Erin Cole.  Also be sure and check out Mimi’s blog.  She was the coordinator behind Erin and Michael’s wedding and a bride of mine!
