Monday, July 25th, 2011

We’re so pleased to be on Modernly Wed with a wedding that was at the Clift Hotel and the Swedenborgian Church in San Francisco.  Jen and Jon had a modernly elegant and FUN wedding.  After a serene ceremony, there was much dancing and toasting, including an after party with Manhattans at the Redwood Room.

Sunday, June 26th, 2011

Happy One Year Anniversary to Adriane and Jay, who got married on the lush back lawn at the Four Seasons in Austin.  After a moving ceremony, during which Jay dedicated a song to Adriane, the party moved indoors.  There was a Longhorns groom cake and fancy cowboy boots to match.  Sauce the band got everyone showing off their best moves, including Jay and his groomsmen.

Three Points Ranch wedding on Style Me Pretty

Friday, June 24th, 2011

MIchelle and Patrick’s rustic chic Hill Country wedding is on Style Me Pretty today.

The venue was Three Points Ranch, a sophisticated blend of country style, antiques and buildings made out of reclaimed wood.

Suzanne Court provided haute comfort food, including baby sliders at the end of the evening after everyone had danced the night away to, wow, Bob Schneider and his band.  Michelle and Patrick love local music and they knew who they wanted to play at their wedding! Plus, such wonderful wedding guests and family…there was much love on this day.

One more thing.  Michelle’s son Jack designed the groom’s cake for Patrick.  Jack even drew diagrams, which were placed next to the cake.  The inside of the cake was rainbow colored.  It was spectacular and everyone loved it!

Flowers by Fabian and coordinating by Christina of Wedding Warriors.

Paloma’s Nest Grand Opening in Austin

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

The much anticipated grand opening of the Austin store for Paloma’s Nest was a few nights ago.  Snippet & Ink is a huge fan and has featured some of the images on their blog today.

Caroline Colom Vasque, the artist behind Paloma’s Nest, has outdone herself.  I’ve always been a fan of her Ringbearer Bowls, but she offers so much more.  Simple, beautiful gifts for celebrations and events.  Custom ribbon, keepsakes, room decor, even bracelets.  My favorite were the balsa wood crowns that can be personalized.  I went a bit crazy photographing in her store and still didn’t show it all.  You’ve got to go check it out, if not in person, then at her online store.

This is the lovely Caroline.

Caroline and her husband Jose gave away tiny Texas ornaments as a memento of their first brick and mortar location.

The party was also a huge hit, with flowers, linens and decor by talented Wendee of Unexpected Elements. She has got the magic touch with event decor!

There was a truly dazzling display of macarons, cakes and cookies by Polka Dots Cupcake Factory, who happen to be celebrating their 3rd anniversary this weekend.  If you look closely you can see gold painted on the chocolate macarons and little nests painted on the other cookies.  Plus, little nests on top of the cakes.  WOW.

Charcuterie plate and pickeled fennel by Ben Runkle, the gifted guy behind Salt & Time.

All accompanied by vinyl being spun by a very very very young DJ.

engagement session at Sunset Cliffs in San Diego

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

Genna and John chose Sunset Cliffs, a classic San Diego beach, for their engagement portrait session.  They even brought their dog, Jobu, who was terribly excited by it all.  I have a great portrait of the three of them, but here I included one where Jobu is just beside herself, all squiggly and being adorable.  I also included the amazing power lift of Genna by John.  Wow!

Such a fun couple!  I’m looking forward to Genna and John’s wedding today at the Four Seasons.

Fredericksburg wedding in a chapel

Monday, June 6th, 2011

This Fredericksburg wedding was a sweet affair.  It was two families coming together, yes, like Brady Bunch.  The bride and groom chose a little chapel out in Hill Country for its intimacy.  They just wanted it to be them and their children.  They brought some thoughtful touches to the day, such as rings for the kids (which made for a touching ceremony) and individual cakes (which made everyone quite happy!).  Though small, it was a stylish wedding, with flowers by the talented Michelle at Sprout Flowers and cakes by Sophie’s Choice Bakery.

This first image tells it all.  One of the daughters wrote “I do” with a Sharpie on the bride’s hand.  A total surprise for the groom and one that put a big grin on his face!
