My folks have been in town visiting for the last two weeks, here to celebrate Austin's big 3-0 and so I thought I'd update the ole blog with an oldie but goodie... Stay young at heart, boys and girls!

Kelsey + Jake had a cute candy station for their guests! The vintage knobs were so gorgeous for holding the pretty napkins down! She also made those charming plate cakestands which were later covered in delicious cupcakes!







Great work Jean. Congrats Kelsey.

Their wedding has already been featured on LA Style Unveiled. Thanks to Heather at Style Unveiled for putting together that lovely feature!
I simply loved how comfortable these two were on their wedding day. They didn't seem nervous at all! They were in their own. They were in the moment. And it just reminded me of what weddings are really all about.
Look at all the lovely people who contributed to making this day absolutely amazing! I love these ladies so much! They are all so very talented!

Her ring is an absolute stunner with a gold band and champagne-colored diamond!!! I'm so in love with the combination!







Austin saw this sign somewhere and photographed it. "In the wood, we return to reason and faith." I just thought it was so fitting for their day!

Esther is a girl after my own heart with these gorgeous dresses! I took one look at her outfits and I said, Ok! we're doing all of them!!! I cannot wait to see this girl in her wedding dress.
Esther + Kevin looked so amazing that I had such a hard time narrowing down all my favorites! So I'll be posting more of these exclusively on my Facebook fanpage very soon!

One thing I love about film is that you never know what you'll get. I LOVE this happy accident of light leaking across the frame. I know what you guys are thinking - Esther + Kevin look pretty great in lo-fi. Wait until you see them in hi-fi!
