As tiny weddings are trending with COVID-19, our team put together an inspiration shoot at an Organic Rose Farm in Santa Ynez, California, where couples can have an intimate, retreat-like wedding (the venue also hosts larger events too). The design for this shoot was inspired by the natural beauty of the rose farm – we […]

Here in Southern California, there isn’t really such thing as a “White Winter” – we still have our sunshine, beautiful sunsets, and beach days.  But, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a beautiful winter celebration!  For this inspiration shoot (which was styled for a photography workshop), we played with various shades of white to create […]

​After all the craziness of 2020, we wanted to create a styled shoot that captured the elegance, beauty, and timelessness that a tiny wedding can bring to the table.  Just because you are having a tiny wedding doesn’t mean you need to compromise on details: from the fashion to the flowers, you can still have […]

As I work with each couple, I try and choose five (or more) key focal points that we focus on in their design.  By putting a little extra time and effort (and creative energy) into these items, I find the entire design is elevated and gives more of a “wow” factor.   The Bride’s Bouquet.  Now, […]

It was the summer of 2009, and I had never planned a wedding before.  Two of my friends were getting married.  They had $1,000 and an empty lawn at a church in Glendora.  They asked me to bring their wedding vision to life, and I said yes… Now, I had always been creative and organized […]

Tiny weddings were the ultimate trend of 2020.  Rather than waiting to say “I Do,” couples are choosing to move forward with their weddings in a revised fashion,  with far less people and safety precautions in place. But, just because you are shrinking the guest count, you don’t need to compromise style, fashion, flowers, or […]

Last autumn,  we had the amazing opportunity to partner with Chandon in Napa to help them curate some amazing content for their beautiful spaces available for site rental!  I always love partnering with companies to develop materials for their marketing portfolio, and collaborating with the Chandon team was such an incredible honor. We designed this shoot […]

I have had so many couples reach out to me (both my own clients and people through social media) reach out with questions about postponing events and whether or not they should plan on moving forward with their wedding day, given the current situation with COVID-19 and everyone on quarantine.  Photo by Josh Newton Friends, […]

We had the amazing privilege to travel across the country to the Midwest to lead a workshop in the beautiful town of New Albany, Indiana, just outside of Louisville Kentucky.  We created an inspired styled shoot in a sweet loft in the downtown area, which has so many cute storefronts, restaurants, and is right across […]

As January comes to a close, I am getting so excited to launch all of our educational opportunities for event professionals this year!  Providing educational opportunities to fellow professionals gives me so much excitement.  I remember when I was first starting out in this industry.  I was overwhelmed, had lots of question, and often felt […]
