Featured : Inside Weddings Magazine Winter 2011

I was photographing a wedding the weekend of my sister's bridal shower. My mother sent me photos of the event to my phone and I smiled. And yet, my heart ached. I longed to be at the shower, but didn't have a Saturday off in the months leading to my sister's wedding. So I relived the event via iphone photographs.

Lucky for me, my sister agreed to attend a smaller bridal shower planned by the ever amazing Amanda Auer of In the Now Weddings and Events. The day was nothing short of spectacular I can't thank the amazing vendors who came together to make everything so special. I'm blessed with such amazing industry peers…and friends. Photographing (and participating in) this event was an honor.

Much to our delight, Inside Weddings Magazine featured the bridal shower and we couldn't be happier! I'm incredibly honored and can't thank the team behind the day enough…

Many thanks to…
Amanda Auer of In the Now for planning a perfect day and creating beautiful florals…
Carina Lindgren of Flawless Faces for hair and makeup…
Erica O'Brien of Erica O'Brien Cake Designs
Viceroy Hotel Santa Monica for being the perfect place for a bridal shower…

There were a ton of photos taken that day, so I'll likely follow up with another blog post detailing the many components to this bridal shower…is it wrong of me to want to have another shower for no apparent reason?! Amanda killed me with all the details and thoughtfulness, so I'm trying to think of ways she can help me plan another party. Happy Groundhog's Day? Happy Secretary's Day? Happy Fruitcake Toss Day? Com'on…who's with me?!

Happy Monday!
