Bluesmaids and brownsmaids
As we all know, the kindest brides outfit their maids in something they will be able to wear again in the future. These four dresses most certainly fit the bill: Traveling clockwise, we have mesh and satin by Alexia Admor, lace by Alexia Admor, chiffon by Shoshanna, and satin by A.B.S. I particularly like the last one, even if it is a bubble dress that would probably make me look silly. Consider, too, that any one of these frocks could make wonderful rehearsal and rehearsal dinner garb. Me? I’m all prepared on that front. I had my rehearsal outfit (strapless, pleated mini dress, slim je...

“But what do you want me to wear?”
I spent this morning watching my mother shimmy in and out of potential MOB dresses. Now, my wedding colors are pale gold and chocolate…yes, I know it’s a summertime wedding. The first words out of my father’s mouth were, “She’s going with an autumn theme?” This is why I’m steering very clear of anything even remotely orange or yellow or red. Let’s just get past that, shall we? So to ensure that the photos look good — because I’m a sucker for a good photo — I asked my mom and her girlfriend and The Beard’s mom to wear something brownish, if they didn’t mind. The last b...

Alexia Getting ReadyAs I started looking through Alexia and Luciano’s wedding to pull images for a blog post I had flagged 30 images just of Alexia getting ready! We were her parent’s house (over looking Newport’s Back Bay) for less than two hours and the amazing images just flowed into the camera… I couldn’t stop! You may remember Alexia and Luciano from their engagement session: HERE. I can’t wait for the next time I get to shoot them- if they don’t call soon I may just have to paparazzi them!! Look out guys! Alexia with her sis Gina- my new Facebook Buddy. And the other sis, Courtney, also a FB...

Engaged: Alexia and LucianoI think after seeing this engagement session I could die a happy woman. Okay, that’s an exaggeration. But honestly this shoot is as close to perfection as it gets. It’s rustic, it’s vintage, it’s not overdone. Studio EMP is responsible for all of this amazing glory. The vintage rentals are from Found, a really great new resource for all things vintage! I thought that I’d also include the couple’s engagement story as well, so check that below! Hope you enjoy! Alexia tells us their story: We met in little bar in Newport Beach. It was a random night and my cousin was here fr...

Alexia • Luciano {Engaged & Featured}I know you are probably tired of seeing these images and hearing about how rad this shoot was, blah, blah, blah… but tough! This shoot was so great because all the planets aligned and everything came together so perfectly. First and foremost, as you can see, Alexia and Luciano were just a joy to shoot- they played and loved and enjoyed each other without worrying about the camera staring at them. Also, the location, Temecula Valley, was just beautiful. We actually started (the first four photos below) on the West side of the 15fwy to shoot on an East-facing slope to make it seem like the sun...

Be ready for romance (or just look that way)
I don’t do a lot of pink, by which I mean I don’t talk much about pink gear, and I don’t wear much of it, either. I used to be a pink fanatic, but sometime in the last year, I overhauled my wardrobe and jettisoned almost everything that wasn’t black or brown. But while I went with brown bridesmaids, it’s not everyone’s first choice — especially for an outdoorsy, summertime fête. Pink is generally associated with romance — think pink roses, pink lips, and so on — so, unsurprisingly, it works its way into plenty of wedding palettes. If you plan on outfitting your bridal party...
