Kathryn & Brian were married at the Rancho Bernardo Inn last September.  They were such a sweet easy going couple.  The wedding really felt effortless.  I think the simple/ timeless elegance really made an impact on Kathryn’s family and friends….her mom even called me Monday morning to personally thank me for everything.  I was so touched.

I love the simple, rustic elements such as garden roses, seeded eucalyptus, wooden box centerpieces, and rustic candelabras.  I also loved how she chose to keep the ceremony classic and white, but added pops of red, burgundy and rust into the centerpieces.

Heather & Chris were married at The Darlington House this past August. I had the privilege of working there 4 times this past year!! I really do love it- the set up is so easy! Each wedding we’ve been a part of has been supercharged with charm and details- just what we love. These images were taken by Heather at Vallentyne Photography. She did a great job of capturing all the little fun details. Jessica Beltran of Moira Events was awesome! She brought in so many of her own props, and really helped with those finishing touches.

Exquisite Weddings Magazine: Southern Vintage

Melissa atI Do Weddings and I brainstormed a few ideas for Exquisite Weddings Magazine’s fall edition photo shoot….and this idea really stuck. I think it was was a great take on all the vintage stuff seen everywhere these days, but the sweet southern charm was a nice little touch.

Everything kinda fell into place…(of course that’s just how wonderful Melissa and her team are at at pulling everything together so seamlessly).

I had collected some milk glass from my grandmothers kitchen, and paired it with some other milk glass I had laying around. Melissa baked some really terrible looking muffins for the favors (sorry Mel)- but that’s cause she’s a momma like me and has 10 gazillion things on her plate. I also found the most adorable wood wagon the day before the shoot. The stationary from Fuzzynk Design Studiowas amazing and spot on! And, the red velvet cake from Sweet Cheeks was a great addition to the details. Thanks to Kristen Peelle for capturing some amazing shots of our flowers!

4 years with one heck of a man….

Happy 4 year anniversary to my darling Matt…..marrying you was the easiest decision I’ve ever made. These years with you have been quite a journey, and I’m so blessed to have you by my side- challenging me, helping me, accepting me, and growing with me.

You are the eternal optimist, and I cannot tell you how wonderful that is to be around. You keep me in line.

You are resilient and painstakingly meticulous. I love that about you, because I wear down and get sloppy. (phew that one was hard to admit).

We are both stubborn – and when I say stubborn, I mean it. But somehow we have managed to make it work for us.

I’m not going to get better at washing the dishes, and you have accepted that.

You really listen to me, even when you pretend not to. You even listen when I tell you about how obsessed I am with something. Or how its my favorite thing EVER.

Everyday, you deal with the worst scenarios in life-witnessing the saddest and most tragic happenings of this world are part of your daily job. To do what you do blows my mind- but its your calling and you are flawless at it. There are no words that can express how deeply this touches me.

You are a ridiculously good cook, and its pretty cool that I don’t have to worry about dinner when you are home.

You have given me life. His name is Cash.
