Anna and Mark

Anna and Mark chose to do a destination wedding since her family lived in the state of Wyoming and his family all lived in Australia. So the San Diego area of California seemed like a great half way mark. They had their event at the Rancho Magdelena in Valley Center and loved it since it was a huge privately rented home that everyone could stay at as well as have the ceremony & reception there.

 

I ❤ This Dress!

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I am fascinated by wedding dresses and how my favorite moment on a wedding day is when I see the bride's dress for the first time.  I ran across this beautiful gown on Pinterest and just had to share it.  Kudos to the designer, and to all your guests during the ceremony if you wear this amazing dress on your wedding day.  It gives them something wonderful to look at from their point of view when you and your hubby are tying the knot!

Looking For The Right Couple!

I ran across this Save The Date photo and just loved it!!  I think I may need to see if any of my future wedding couples might want to try it for their engagement session.  It would be an investment in the balloons, but if they used their wedding colors it would be such a great tie in.  I even love what they're wearing.  What do you think?

Great Party Favor for Vineyard Weddings...

Loved these charms when I saw them and thought they might be a cute favor for wedding guests when your wedding venue is a winery or has a wine theme.  And the price is great, especially if you're ordering a lot of them.  Here's the link to purchase them...http://www.myweddingfavorsetc.com

When Wedding Planning Takes It's Toll, Find Time to Laugh!

I ran across this hysterical YouTube video and thought I would share it.  Having been a bride before, I totally related to so many of these little quips and found myself laughing out loud.  So, take a break from all your worries and enjoy the next two minutes.  And a big thanks to The Wedding Channel for putting this one out there!

Caitlin and Bo - Save The Date

How super cute are these photographs?  I've been going through a vintage phase these past six or so months and when Caitlin mentioned she wanted to do a vintage theme for her Save The Dates, I got so excited!!  I recommended Grape Day Park since they have a historic train station and caboose there, as well as some old structures from Escondido's golden times of past.

I guess I'm just one lucky lady working with some amazing clients and being able to turn ideas into art.  For all future couples, please let me know if you have any unique ideas for your session and I'll do everything I can to make it happen.  I can't wait...2012 is starting out to be an amazing year!
