Do you like DIY but maybe some of its is a little bit daunting?  That is frequently  how I feel.  I look up how to make lots of amazing things on Pinterest but when I finally attempt creation, they never turn out quite right.  Well the lovely coordinator for this inspiration shoot Spring has come up with a great solution.  She has put together a series of hands on DIY workshops that teach a variety of fun skills from, center pieces to handmade jewelry and whimsical hair fascinators.  Spring stylized a recent photo shoot with us using an array of the skillfully crafted decor that will be taught in her classes.  These are some of our favorite shots from the recent inspiration shoot with these fine wedding industry professionals.  Thanks everyone involved for all the hard work, and we can only begin to tell you how much fun it was working together.

We LOVE San Diego.  Everywhere you go in this town there is an amazing place to shoot.  I grew up in this ever growing city and still cant believe all the unique places we stumble upon every day.  The Solana Beach Train Station is a spot we have been wanting a photo op at for a while now.  Every time we drive by I oogle at the glass elevators and invision possibilities.  Guess what! We were finally given the chance to shoot at the Train Station.  It was all I had hoped for and more.  Well except for the elevators, in reality they are much to small when you get 3 people in + 2 cameras and a pro-photo studio light but then again I think every elevator is to small for all of that.  Amanda was just so much fun to work with.  She wanted some fun new portraits and was up for anything creative we could throw at her.

We wanted to share one of our favorite family photo shoots from the holiday season.  Kristen from White Wedding Day Events brought all sorts of fun props for her family to play with and we just loved the Damon Lane County Park they chose for their photos.  The park has wonderful winding pathways through enormous eucalyptus trees, lots of enormous rocks just begging to be climbed on and a lovely little bridge.  Thanks for a ridiculously fun shoot!family christmas portrait holding up grandma

Ashley Miller with Hall Events put on a beautiful rustic inspired christmas party and we were so excited to join in the fun.   Ashley created beautiful table decorations from wine bottles and yarn that I couldn’t help but want to take home.  Personalized mason jars added a warm and inviting feel to the scene, and it’s always fun to find your name on a little tag tied to your glass.  The evening started out with champaign and smashing hors d’oeuvre, lots of great company and fun conversation.  This was followed up with a very tasty baked brie, gourmet soup in mugs, and fantastic homemade meat balls.  A dinner party wouldn’t be complete without dessert so we saved just enough room for a slice delightful pecan pie.  Ashley have I mentioned that pecan is one of my favorites?  Thank you Ashley and Erin for such a wonderful evening and for creating a beautiful set up.
