Tara and Andy got married at Pelican Hill over Labor Day weekend last month. We had an absolutely gorgeous day for a wedding in Orange County. This was a really fun bridal party! Andy had a lot of his family and groomsmen over from England. There was a very cute ‘Love’ theme for the wedding. Andy is a huge Beatles fan so “All you need is love”… My soap reminds me every morning at the moment. Their favors very good smelling and very large bars of LOVE soap. I’ve been using it everyday since the wedding. Anyway, there were also 40 doves released at the ceremony and lots Beatles love songs. The décor was very beautiful with purples and greens. Nisie at Enchanted florist did an amazing job with the design which included fabulous linens from Wildflower. Gini Garner was also on the scene keeping the show on track. Enjoy!

We had a great shoot downtown at some of my usual spots but tried a couple new ones as well. I love photographing in LA because the urbanscape is always changing so there are new things every month. We had a great dinner at Pete’s Café in the Old Bank District. My family and I actually looked at a Penthouse Loft in the old Farmer’s Merchant building, but downtown is not quite kid friendly yet.

Lisa and Paul are getting married in Palm Springs in October at the awesome Riviera Hotel. The wedding is going to be amazing! Check out some of my favorites…

The family and I drove up to the Bay Area a few weeks ago for a bit of fun and business. I had a couple consultations and an engagement session with Kellie and Tim. Their wedding is in Laguna at Three Arch Bay Park a very intimate and private setting off PCH. Tim is getting into Bourbon was we talked about a bunch of great places in San Francisco to have a nice drink. My short list is Bourbon and Branch, Library Bar, Rickhouse and Whiskey Thieves. During school Kellie used to work for a family member as a sales rep for St. Germaine the new Elder Flower liquor. She turned me onto some libations with St. Germaine and bourbon. I can’t wait to try them out!
