Lish + Josh

Hooray more engagement photos! Congrats to my college roomie, Lish and her fiance Josh on their recent engagement! When I received the text from Lish I was in New York City visiting my sister. I screamed at the top of my lungs and almost burst into tears! Such exciting news!

Over the past weekend I was in LA for my college Alumni weekend and not only did I try to get my swim muscles back into gear, but I had the privilege of doing some fabulous photos for the newly engaged couple!

Wedding Design into the World...

So this entire year almost I have been creating. Well, back up. I have been creating and taking on numerous projects, one of which was all wedding design for my dear friend Julia. She just got married over Labor Day weekend at a GORGEOUS winery in Northern California. Not only did I get to do all of the design for her fabulous wedding, I was one of her bridesmaids. I can not begin to express what an honor it was. Congrats to Julia & Rico!

Now back to this wedding design madness. Julia only had one req
uest, an oak tree motif. Sure enough I followed her wishes, as done for every beautiful bride. From there I designed a Save the Date magnet (the magnet was her idea), her perfect little invitations, and everything else from the name cards to the ceremony programs to the bar and buffet menus to the wine bottle labels and any other sign you saw around the reception patio.

I worked on this entire project from the beginning of the year all the way up to the day of. It was a lot of work, but I wouldn't have missed helping out for the world!
Not only did I have the pleasure of doing all of this work, but it has appeared on Julia & Rico's wedding photographer's blog! Nicolette Clark did the engagement photo shoot as well as the wedding photos. What a talented woman! I featured her earlier in the year for the Save the Dates as I used four of her photos. Thanks Nicolette for all of your great work! Everyone is dying to see the wedding photos!

Here are a few items...fan ceremony programs, bar menu WITH Julia's special and delicious creation of the Pomegranate Sparkler (wow I spelled that correctly on the first try), and wine bottle labels! Enjoy.

Big Guns Out....

I did a photography shoot last week. Pretty awesome I must say. You wouldn't think this company would have anything interesting to tell someone about, but trust me, I learned more about the commercial laundry business than one would think there would be to know. Shooting all kinds of large scale equipment, and seeing what it takes, I know now how those high end restaurants and hotels get their linens done. Thanks to STS. Oh and my dear friends at Keane Creative are doing an awesome website revamp using my photography! I am pretty stoked. Here are some photos that I thought were pretty awesome...



Now the linens are put to use! Table cloths, napkins, aprons. Clean and ready for all kinds of customers, chefs, and servers.

Fisheye!

I just made a rather large investment. What is it you ask? A fisheye lens for my awesome Nikon D80 camera. So far my first victims have been my pups. Of course. Hope you aren't getting sick of them!
