Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah everyone!  Last year’s holiday cards were fake mustaches and goofy glasses.  This year Brett decided to rock his own mustache and I had to up the stakes with a ridiculous pair of purple pants.  We really wanted to come up with something that would make people laugh this year and after a few calls and some thrift storing we came up with this.  Kristen at White Wedding Day came to our aid and found us the amazing ski sets and shaggy rug at their rental house.  When it came time to choose what photo would win the prize of making the front of our card we just couldn’t choose.  We just loved them all, so we sent out all our favorites.  Enjoy the series and we hope that everyone has a fantastic New Years!

And we had a Captain moment.

We love shooting engagements but are rarely privilege to take part in that moment when a man asks his one and true love to become his co-pilot on the adventure we call life.  So we were incredibly nervous and excited to accompany Jesse and Courtney on a beautiful sail boat excursion where Jesse would ask Courtney one of the most important questions of his life.  It was to be a total surprise for Courtney so it took a lot of planning on Jesse’s part to allow all of us onto the boat without hinting at what was to come.

The day was absolutely perfect.  The sometimes rare December sun not only graced us with its presence but warmed up the day nicely taking off the chill we expected on the sail boat.  After a short dingy ride out to the boat, our experienced Captain Robert hoisted up the anchor, let loose the sails and tacked us into the wind and out to the Silver Strand.

The first part of our sailing adventure was topped with Jesse and Courtney’s proposal, which went off smashingly.  The second half of the trip became photo time!  Captain Robert was just fantastic and unhooked the zodiac from the ship and took Brett out on the water to get some breath taking shots from afar.  I think they had almost as much fun zooming around on the water as Jesse and Courtney had watching the world from the bow of the boat.  Thanks Jesse and Courtney for entrusting us with your special moment, it was so amazing to capture your first day as an engaged couple.   Also without a boat it would have been all of us floating around in a kayak so a big thanks to Capt. Robert for helping to make this all happen.  We loved sailing on your beautiful boat the Babayaga.

Our long time friend and local fashion blogger Nacole Gray was hand chosen by Hudson Jeans to participate in their Fall Blogger Event Competition.  She along with several other fashion bloggers were given a $ amount and asked to put together an outfit at Nordstroms with only one major requirement, to incorporate any new pair of Hudson Jeans into the look.  When our phone rang and she told us about the competition we were more than a little excited to work with her on creating a photoshoot that would give her outfit a story.  Nacole spent a time in Paris and her style is often inspired by French and European fashion.  She really wanted our shoot to have a Parisian coffee house feel.  Short of flying to Paris, there isn’t a lot in San Diego the feel of cobble stone streets with wrought iron out door patios cozied up to them.  But Little Italy does hold some of that European charm and they sure can make a mean coffee.
