Whenever we get together with Erica España of Twine Events and Nancy Teasley of  Oak and the Owl, something magical happens. It’s like when those two ladies touch anything it turns to Gold! See fer yerself.

It is an esteemed honor to have worked with Deanna Tat of Chic Ambience Events on this grand wedding at the famed Vibiana. Three cheers! Hip hip…

See the rest of the post on SMP!

We love to do creative projects such as this!  This is a shoot with friends from the industry.  When makeup artist, Chiali of Chiali Meng Artistry approached us about doing a photo shoot, we immediately said yes because we adore her work.  Chiali brought in Yingka from Master Plans Events and Designs to create a fresh spring backdrop.  We are also admirers of Yingka’s floral creations.  Our photo studio was bursting with fresh cut flowers, props, not to mention the huge collection of wedding gowns from Jennifer Wu of Royal Accessories.   Yingka Chou and Theresa Toledo created colorful pinwheel paper crafts for our backdrop. So sit back and take in all the creative juices that flowed among artists and collaborators to see what may inspire you to do for your own wedding and events.

It was great to work with Erica España of Twine Events and Nancy Teasley of Oak & the Owl who helped design this most awe-inspiring wedding. This time up in beautiful Santa Barbara’s San Ysidro Ranch. Nancy’s floral designs and candle lanterns were absolutely breathtaking. Nestled in the Montecito foothills of Southern California’s wine country, San Ysidro Ranch with it’s quaint architecture and its sculpted landscape makes me think of a tranquil French village. One of the most beautiful locations I’ve shot by far. Their ceremony was at the romantic Santa Barbara Courthouse Mural Room. It adds a touch of mood and the murals make any wedding feel truly historic.

See it on Style Me Pretty. And see the gorgeous post on Oak and the Owl.

Of course we love it when my work gets published. And we love it even more when someone emails from across the globe saying that they’re interested in printing our work in their magazine! Now that’s flattering. So this post goes to Catherine Johnson of Wedding Magazine from across the pond. Thank you very much for connecting! We are honored and delighted.
