How about these absolutely beautiful shots of Carmen and Roger on their wedding day!

More vine walking…
Thanks to the fab Elaine over at Sweet Cheeks we have more photos! I love this cake! Words of love written in Italian for the romance and the bride’s heritage, deep indigo hydrangea blooms dotting the tiers… I love this groom’s cake too! Plus the wood & cork escort card holder that the groom made himself- it was very cool.

With planning season seriously underway, many brides are feeling they’re making progress signing on with vendors and venues (yay!) and now the fun part of picking stationery patterns and styles come to the forefront. On a personal level, I am a stationery junkie. I buy cute cards, one of a kind notes, letter and envelope sets, sticker seals, and pens like they are the last luxury on Earth, and I even make my own hand-illustrated and photo cards when I … Read more

So, here we are in a white tent, with white lounge furniture, and white flowers… ohh, but the gold glittered coral, painted lily grass and … Read more
Love in Ocean Beach
Jayanti & Zach were so happy to have their wedding on the bluffs in San Diego.
