Today’s post is a bit of a collaboration. I had the absolute pleasure of working with some amazing wedding vendors to create a beautiful styled shoot a couple of months ago, and we’re excited to share it here. Read on for part one of a three part series co-hosted by my fellow collaborators. Where do…
They have lovingly been dubbed the Duke and the Duchess, after Colin’s last name Duke. On a sunny day in June, they were married in a beautiful celebration with just the right amount of elegance and romance befitting their royal titles. The day comprised an array of beautiful settings in Geyserville, Santa Rosa, and Healdsburg,…
Hooray for more wedding albums! Jenny and Kevin’s albums arrived last week, and they are beautiful. Jenny and Kevin opted for twin 8×8″ albums, the small sized albums, and they will be gifting one to Kevin’s parents and keeping the other. The first spread– the beloved fountain image! Here is a reception details spread: And…
We began the day in a little oasis of calmness at the Omni Hotel of San Francisco. Cynthia was not nervous or anxious; she was ready. We entered the beautiful Merchant’s Exchange building across the street and took the elevators up to the Julia Morgan Ballroom on the 15th floor. Up in the bridal suite,…
Those of you who have been following me for a while know that I also have a wedding videography business named Seaglass Cinema. We are just starting out but are so very excited about the work that we are doing. Videography is truly a beautiful medium for storytelling, and we love capturing our couples on…
This weekend, the fabric swatches will manifest as tablecloths and linens, the myriad glass containers will be gathered into perfect little vignettes, the splashes of coral will be replaced with gorgeous blooms. All of these mockups and ideas will be transformed into a wonderful styled shoot. It’s a true collaborative event involving several several amazing…
Tens of thousands of photographers in Las Vegas? It must be WPPI, the annual Wedding & Portrait Photographers (International) convention. This was my first time at WPPI, and I was prepared to be completely overwhelmed and hoping to be inspired. As it turns out, inspiration trumped overwhelmed-ness, and all in all, I had a great time….
You might not see the silly side of them right away, poised as they are as the lawyer and the police officer. But give it just a little bit of time and the right conditions, and their playfulness comes right through. They’ll laugh together and be goofy together, but they’ll also cry together and they…
I waited and waited, and it took several weeks– longer than usual, I was told– but one day after I received Connie & Tony’s guest book in the mail, I got a giant box with this precious cargo inside: my sample wedding albums! For size comparison, you can see Connie & Tony’s 12″x12″ guest book…
Back in August, Seaglass Cinema was just an idea. We wanted to take a cinematic approach to capturing weddings and create ‘real life movies’. Our idea spun very quickly from possibility into reality, and just a couple weeks later, we gathered an arsenal of DSLRs and lenses and shot our first wedding in Indianapolis. Now,…
Magdy’s slightly mischievous laugh counterbalances Zaha’s reserved demeanor. We walk out to the golf course, led by the sinking sun. Zaha looks beautiful no matter the outfit– Pakistani dress or white wedding gown. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful afternoon or a more compelling sunset as the backdrop to the event. 300 friends…
Kevin is the ultimate yes-sayer. He doesn’t doubt; he just makes things happen. So when it came to proposing to Jenny, he brewed his plan involving a fake Craigslist ad, got down on one knee, and made it happen. When it came to patching the wedding day with some last-minute errands, he hopped in the…
