Out of the Office: Cabo San Lucas

Before my busy wedding season kicks into high gear, I managed to squeeze a mini vacation into the books and I’m super excited for our trip South of the boarder to Cabo San Lucas!

So with that,  I wanted to remind everyone that I will be out of the office until May 28th. During this time I will have limited access to email, but I’ll be in touch once I return early next week. 

I hope everyone has an amazing Memorial Day Weekend, full of good food, family, and friends!

Flirty and Fun Garden Engagement Shoot: Aubrey + Eric

I always enjoy meeting new people and photographing in a new locations, so Aubrey and Eric’s engagement shoot at the South Coast Botanic Garden was really the best of both worlds. Although we had only talked on the phone, I felt instantly at ease when I finally met them in person. They are relaxed, a bit silly, stylish, and completely in love – all the perfect ingredients for an epic engagement shoot.

This was such a fun afternoon and I’m completely smitten with the results. Thanks for the awesome shoot Aubrey and Eric, and I cannot wait for your wedding in July – yay!

My Paleo Challenge

2013 has already been a huge year for change, both personally and professionally. To start this will be my first year as a married woman, I started eating meat again after being a pescetarian for 6 years, and I’m concentrating a lot of my energy on living a more balanced life in general. This means kicking my workaholic tendencies to the side, working smarter – not harder, returning to CrossFit, and eating food that fuels my body the right way.

I’ve seen many people in our CrossFit community benefit from a paleo lifestyle, so last week John and I decided to take the plunge and really commit to eating paleo 98% of the time. This is a HUGE change for us, but I know it’s going to be for the best and I’ve been having fun experimenting with paleo versions of my favorite treats, like muffins and ice cream.

I know many people are interested in this way of eating, which can also be gluten, grain, dairy, and sugar free. I’ve been pinning up a storm on my paleo pinterest board, so head on over there for some easy and yummy recipes. I’ll also be instagraming a few meals throughout the week, so be sure to follow me there for all the day to day paleo meals.

So what are your thoughts? Would you give paleo a try?

Angie - I’ve done the paleo diet-it’s definitely beneficial in helping you feel overall better. I didn’t lose a lot of weight but felt good and had lots of energy. It’s a pain though and tough for me to maintain since I love carbs so much! Good luck to you both and I am excited to read about your journey!

“It’s a Girl!” Maternity Shoot: Angela + Greg

I adore people who love photos! Angela and Greg are the best at documenting their life with photos, and it’s been incredible to watch their relationship evolve over the years. So when Angela wanted to do a shoot to reveal the gender of their first child, I was beyond excited. Not just for a fun shoot, but because Angel and Greg are going to make SUCH amazing parents! They are two of the kindest people I know, and I cannot wait to meet to meet their little girl this fall! Congrats you two!! xoxo

Four Seasons Biltmore Santa Barbara Wedding: Maribeth + Scott

Spend just a few minutes with Maribeth and Scott and you’ll quickly see what amazing people they are. They are fun, kind, generous  and beautiful, both inside and out. Their loved ones traveled to Santa Barbara for their wedding weekend full of dinners, dancing, and overflowing support for their nuptials.

A confetti wedding cake, gold number balloons and richly beautiful florals by Blue Magnolia Events. These are just a few of the many elements that made Maribeth and Scott’s wedding refined with a playful twist. Lydia Ross Events did a stunning job bringing the Coral Casino Beach and Cabana Club to life with her planning and design. This day was a photographers dream, and I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful setting for Maribeth and Scott to tie the knot.

Join me in wishing them a heartfelt congratulations and a life time a love!
