Out of the Office

Just a quick note that I’ll be out of the office for the rest of the week, spending some quality time with several of my favorite ladies! If you’ve followed my blog for a while then you know I take a trip every six months with some great girl friends, all of whom also happen to be wedding photographers. It’s a time for us to recharge, renew and relax. These bi-annual trips have quickly become my favorite tradition and I can’t wait to get there!

We’ll be in Joshua Tree this time and you can follow our shenanigans over at the Traveling Hearts blog!

Thanks to Ala for this collage of all the girls! See you ladies soon! xoxo

Huoy - Heidi – I know you take a trip with the girls each year. And every time I’m so jealous! It seems like a bunch of fun ladies :) I need to find me some fun photog friends to travel with too!

Published in Claudia Noivas Magazine!

I’ve never been to Brazil. Heck, I’ve barely been out of the country. But I’ve been published in Brazil (and in Australia – a country I have been to) so that makes me feel like a world traveler!

A few months ago I received an email from a lovely editor at Claudia Noivas Magazine, a wedding magazine out of Brazil. They saw Desiree and Rich‘s wedding on Style Me Pretty and loved it. They were doing a feature on wedding fashion for groom’s and wanted to feature a shoot showcasing Rich’s awesome bow tie and tux. I was happy to oblige and they were kind enough to send me a hard copy, which I received a couple of weeks ago.

I can’t understand a word of what’s written inside, but I’m honored to have one of my images showcased among amazingly beautiful photography by some of my favorite photographers. Check it out!

Katie + Steve = Married!

Katie and Steve were my last wedding of 2011 and they couldn’t have helped me end the year any better! Their wedding day was heartfelt and beautiful from beginning to end and I left feeling really great about what it is I do for a living. That’s how I know I just left a really great wedding.:)

Their day started out with the ceremony at one of the loveliest churches I’ve had the privilege of shooting in so far, St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church. The interesting wood beams and large windows that let in tons of natural light had me swooning through the entire ceremony. If I’m going to shoot in a church, I love one that has lots of windows, and that’s hard to come by.;)  The reception was held at Malibu West Beach Club, and had a lovely wintery theme, perfect for a December wedding.

Katie’s mom really put this wedding over the top when she surprised everyone (including me!) with an appearance from the USC Trojans marching band. Katie is a die-hard Trojan and comes from a long line of Trojans, so needless to say, this got the party started. It was an amazing night for an amazing couple and I’m so happy I got to be a part of it! Congratulations, Katie and Steve!

PS: Don’t forget to check out their feature on Elizabeth Anne Designs. I love that blog and am so thrilled to be featured there again!
