Meet Baby Eva, at only 7 days old this little girl is too cute for words! I had such a great time last year photographing Victor and Diana’s trash the dress shoot, that I couldn’t wait to meet the newest addition to their family. I was so impressed watching Diana in her new mom role, she was so calm, relaxed, and so nurturing. I know little Eva will have a wonderful life, and I’m so thankful I was able to capture her first few days!
   Out of all my 2011 wedding’s this one wins for coolest reception location. I have never been to a reception like this. Just picture an airplane hanger but modern, cool, and with an entire wall of sparkles! It was pretty awesome to say the least, and I’m so thankful I was able to second shoot the wedding alongside my buddy Erich Chen! This was a full day of wedding fun, complete with a church and traditional tea ceremony, before partying it up at the reception. Take a peak at just a few of my favorite photos from Sam and Alice’s wedding.
no comments One of the most commonly asked questions I’ve received in the last few months is about wedding colors. What looks best in pictures, recommended combinations, and popular shades? Before I started planning my own wedding, I grouped wedding colors into two categories: things I liked, and those I didn’t care for. Now that I’m a bride, I see things differently, and appreciate how the right combination of colors can bring everything together. So where do you start? I recently had a bride explain to me that she chose her colors based off a favorite painting. I LOVE this idea and it really got me thinking about other ways to get inspiration for your wedding. Rather than just looking to wedding blogs and magazines; look to photographs, clothing, wrapping paper and even cookbooks for color combination ideas. Once you have a few favorites pinned you can use this awesome color palette generator tutorial to see what the dominate colors are. How about pinks and purples for the vintage inspired wedding?
Why not go with teals for your beachside wedding?
Shades of yellow for the intimate backyard wedding?
There is no wrong choices when it comes to your wedding colors, so think outside the box and experiment with different combinations and shades. Once you have your color palette finalized, it makes deciding things like your flowers, invitations, bridesmaids dresses, and overall decor much easier! no comments I LOVE designing wedding albums, and had to take a moment to show off a few completed albums!
no comments For the New Year, I’ve decided to resurrect my “Inspired By” blog posts, but with a new twist. As many of you already know, I’m no longer just a wedding photographer, but also a bride-to-be myself! This means that I spend more time than ever researching wedding trends, DIY projects, and anything wedding related. I thought it would be fun to share all the goodies I find, and hopefully provide my brides with inspiration, and insider advice to incorporate into their wedding style and planning. I’m calling these posts “Wedding 101″ and what better place to start than with a run down of my favorite wedding blogs. There are literally thousands of wedding blogs out there, each offering a unique perspective and style. The blogs that keep me coming back incorporate more than just real wedding features – but a complete focus of everything involved in wedding planning. My favorite blogs also include several resources for free printable, DIY projects, and shops to purchase stylish wedding essentials.
I would love feedback from my readers, and strive to make these posts more of a conversation. So don’t be shy and leave a comment with your favorite wedding blog. + 2 comments
