The Holidays are Here!

We can't believe the new year is around the corner. Time is just going so fast. We have had an exciting past year, and hope to do more exciting things this coming year. Since it will be 2010. (CRAZY!) We hope the rest of the year is nothing but relaxing, being around great friends and family, food and just the warmth of the holiday season. Cherish every moment.

Engagement :: Janna & Branden

This past Sunday, 8/23, we took a couple down to Point Fermin in the city of San Pedro, California for an engagement session. Janna and Branden, aka "Jannden", were up for just about anything! We had a great time working with them. It's fun couples like this that remind us of why we like what we do.

Oh la la!

Can you say... "YUMMY"! I feel like I need to go get a bowl of sherbet. It was fun working with these bright colors, and doing something a little untraditional. The best part is when you hand over the finished product, and it was more then they could have imagined. It shined with the couples personality, and definitely started there wedding off right.

Wedding :: Winnie and Brian

Dusting off the shelf...
I was doing some spring cleaning, and came across a wedding we did awhile back. I love when that happens, and you have forgotten what you did. Then you find yourself talking to yourself saying, "Oh that's good, I need to display that!" It brings back so many memories. Yep, Not just for the bride, but for the photographer. It is so exciting to look back...

Who Says...

You can't make your bridal shower invites something to talk about. As I sit here late at night with several things running through my head. I decided I would post the recent bridal shower invites I designed. It is a custom design that was all done in house. From the design, to the printing and even the cutting. Thankfully, I only had to make 20. It was a very fun project to do, and rewarding when it was all finished. The theme of the bridal shower was cupcakes. So, hence the cupcake picture. I love coming up with new ideas, and then making them come to life. I even added a label to match the invites for the envelopes. Good thing, there was a deadline, or I would have kept going on ideas. I was having way too much fun!

Wedding :: Johnetta and Pierre

The windy city. Yes, Mariann had the chance to travel to Chicago and shoot a wedding! it was our first time traveling there so, it was an adventure. She was lucky enough to know some of the people so, she was able to also take in all what the city had to offer. I guess, That is what you call work hard, play hard. I wish I was there enjoying it too! The bride and groom shined on there day, as I am sure you can see through the photos. They turned out gorgeous.

Finally Finished!

When we do an album we put so much love into it, as if, it was our own. We work from every angle, but most of all we love to tell a story. I had already designed the brides album, and I now needed to do her parent albums. They are always fun to do. It is usually a mini version of the brides album. We design our parent albums using a coffee table book that is very modern, and in the lines of a magazine with a hard cover. They're very trendy, and most of all easy for the parent to carry and show off to all their friends. After I was done we sent it to press, and when it came back it was adorable. I wanted to keep it for myself. But I had to package it up and send it away. It is definitely something I would not pass up! :O)
