Pro Pics: J + J Wedding | Sir Francis Drake | San Francisco

Do you remember the wedding that I share with you a few weeks back?  Orange with purple accents and a bride with gorgeous red hair.  Their awesome photographer Vero of Vero Suh Photography just shared some photos with me and I am in love with them.  Her ability to capture the details of the wedding day are amazing!  Take a look for yourself!

 Definitely my favorite photo from my 2011 weddings.  Love!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Editorial Photoshoot | Ceremony Magazine | Mandarin Hotel

Here's a sneak peek of a photo shoot I worked on for Ceremony Magazine last month.  I am very excited to see this in print next year.

 My favorite detail on this bouquet is the ribbon treatment I have for the handle.

  

 

J+J Wedding | Sir Francis Drake Hotel | San Francisco

Beautiful location, adorable bride with red hair and a wedding dress full of ruffles. This wedding was brimming with personality!  We used shades of orange with purple accents since the Sir Francis Drake Hotel had these colors as part of their decor.

Here a couple of photos I took

Both Jenny and James travel a lot for their work.  They had the most adorable little luggage favors I have ever seen.  They doubled as seating cards too.  Loved them!

Sneak Peek: Flower Girl Purses & Bridesmaid Bouquet

I'm putting together my blog post for my next wedding - and it's a splendiferous one.  But first I must share these super cute flower girl purses I made for the wedding.  I am so proud of them - they deserve their own post.  I've been wanting to make flower girl purses for quite some time and I finally convinced one of my bride's to let me.  Thank you Niloofar for having faith in me and letting me be creative :) 

Confession: Since I have never made these before - I wasn't sure how many carnations I would need for three purses.  So I guessed - and well, I guessed wrong.  I was off about 5 carnations.  That's it - but 5 carnations is a lot when you have a gaping whole in a purse.  So I was forced to be creative...and with some help with my assistant Nikki, we found a cute solution.  And I have to say - I'm glad I was short 5 carnations because it made me think out of the box.  I really liked how they turned out!  We used some dusty miller, eucalyptus leaves, a rose to give the purse an accent.  My bride also gave me some hair clips to use in her bouquet (which was super awesome stunning, by the way but more on that later) but I decided to put them on the purses instead.  It was adorable.

And here is a sneak peak at the bridesmaid bouquet.  If you like this - you will LOVE the bride's bouquet.  That's coming up a little later!

L + J Wedding | Pro Pics | Palo Alto Hills Country Club | Elle Jae Weddings

Last week I showed you some images from Leslie and Jon's wedding and then James from Elle Jae Weddings sent me over some of the professional photos he took. They are AWESOME.  And I have to say that I love Leslie's shoes.  I wish that the whole colored heels for your wedding day trend thing was happening when I got married.  Looks so cool in photos!

More images can bee seen on from their slide show that ElleJae Weddings put together.  Thanks James for sharing these with me!

K+D Wedding | Flood Mansion | San Francisco

Here is a gorgeous wedding held at the James Leary Flood Mansion in San Francisco. You never can go wrong with classic colors like white, apple green and silver.  I love the details that Karin worked out for the place card settings.
