Para Ti Novia

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

We’re jazzed to have Alejandra and Ben’s wedding featured on Para Ti Novia.

It was a fun wedding with personalized touches in blues and purples.  They had blue lighting by Ilios and even hired a blues band, The Blues Specialists.

One year ago, I photographed the contrast of wooden chandeliers and a classic church.  Plus a nice ride in a vintage baby blue Cadillac.  From Mandy and Austin’s wedding at the Design Center in Austin.

one year ago, aloha to a turtle

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

One year ago, I was photographing a lovely vow renewal on the North Shore of Oahu.  We ran into a turtle parked on the beach when we were doing portraits.  We were thrilled, he just ignored us.  From MaryLee and Paul’s vow renewal (35 years!!!)

thank you for the thank you

Friday, August 6th, 2010

I want to say thank you for a thank you.  We live in a digital world, so it was nice to receive some analog mail from one of my couples from… last year.  They just wrote me the sweetest thank you note and no, it wasn’t a year late.  It was in addition to the one they already sent right after their wedding last year!  So nice to hear from them and makes me happy that the images are so beloved.

From Gina and Jason…

Marfa wedding with style

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Dan and Leesy got married waaaaay out in Marfa, Texas, probably one of the coolest places, ever.  They are from Brooklyn (equally cool!), and most of their guests were, well, not from Marfa, so it was quite a journey for everyone.  When that happens, you know that everyone who made the journey is someone special to the couple.  There were many witty and touching toasts, plus an spirited hora among the cactus and Airstreams.

After the hora, the guests were rewarded with locally sourced food prepared by the rockstar caterer, Outstanding In The Field.  They are known for traveling around the country making dinner and serving it at one super long table. They came into Marfa a few days early and gathered the food from locals.  They even got a goat, which must not happen very often because they were quite psyched about it.  They listed all dishes on the menu and included the people that had provided the food.  It was a memorable wedding dinner.

Both Dan and Leesy are creative (Dan is an architect and Leesy is a textile designer) so it’s no surprise to see all the amazing design details that went into the wedding.  There’s the “YAY’ signs, and the Airstreams with signs.  The paper pom poms, which always delight.  The huppah was made by Dan. Margaritas with little flags.  The invitation was a poster using wood, metal and digital type screen-printed over abstracted map of Texas.  Even the welcome bag was personalized using silk screening.

Other notables:

the location:  House on the Hill

Friday dinner and Sunday brunch and the wedding cake:  Austin Street Cafe

Dan’s suit:  Paul Smith.  Nice.

As always, thank you to the talented Alina Prax of La Dolce Vita Photography for bringing her talent (she shot ALL film and rocked the hora!)

One more thing:  Dan and Leesy were thrilled to find a film shooter for their wedding.  They are kindred spirits because a) Dan required me…in my contract (!!!)…to shoot polaroids with his vintage SX-70 and b)  they sent me a vintage SX-70 as a thank you gift.  I feel privileged to document all three days of their wedding.  Yay!

One year ago today, I photographed beautiful challah.

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

One year ago today, I photographed Alicia and Michael’s wedding at House on the HIll.  They had such pretty linens and pretty challah too.  My favorite part was when the rabbi said, “y’all can stomp on the glass”.  Mazeltov and Yeehaw!
