The Diaz wedding that took place this winter embodied that very image. The bridesmaids were fitted in a calved length 40s black gown and cute bright red wedges. The groomsmen took the traditional suits and added a red tie to match the ladies. Guests arrived in their best 40s design. WWII soldiers ushered people to their seats, and 40s gangsters provided the mood music; however, outshining the red accents of this black and white wedding, were the smiles of both the bride and the groom. As soon as she walked down the stairway of the amphitheater, a bright smiled formed on the grooms face. As the bride came closer, tears formed in his eyes. It was a precious moment to see them not only exchange smiles, but also vows that will hold through their lifetime. I was honored to capture this life changing day for the Diaz's and I wish them all the best!<br /><br /><a

reflection of you as a future bride...<br />in the middle of Costco?<br /><br />We love Costco like most people, the samples, the enormous packs of TP, the $1.50 dog and pop. But would we buy our wedding dress from Costco? Knowing the frugal gals that we are, we just might! Hey if the dress is right and the price even better, we're pretty sure our groom doesn't give a hoot if it was purchased in a stuffy boutique or a wholesale warehouse - as long as we're happy, he's happy.<br /><br />Here's to dress shopping, no matter where that may be! Take your girls and enjoy the day :)<br /><br /><a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2011/mar/18/business/la-fi-costco-wedding-dress-20110318"> http://articles.latimes.com/2011/mar/18/business/la-fi-costco-wedding-dress-20110318</a>Lauren Crowstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04113897143956076409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816762227332597963.post-25121327269093049042011-03-18T22:00:00.000-07:002011-03-18T22:07:50.771-07:00For Japan with Love<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wBEUsyh1pKk/TYQ59FnyJYI/AAAAAAAAAUs/VkaE7ibpJmU/s1600/forjapan_250_600_badge.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 167px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wBEUsyh1pKk/TYQ59FnyJYI/AAAAAAAAAUs/VkaE7ibpJmU/s400/forjapan_250_600_badge.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585653159490102658" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.forjapanwithlove.com/">http://www.forjapanwithlove.com</a><br />{an amazing effort that is providing relief in a practical way}<br /><br />As I watch my twitterfeed, it's amazing how in the midst of personal drabble, updates from celebrities, and other non important updates - CNN reminds me of the devastation a world away. Pictures stop my heart and I'm reminded how it could be us. That the baby found alive and reunited with her family is only one out of many not saved and it could be my own. That the grandparents who passed away when being transported from their nursing home could be my own. As tragedies ravage other countries, the reminder is that America is not safe in a bubble. If it were my family, who would help us?<br /><br />Prayer. Finances. Moral support. May we reach out to those who have lost so much.Lauren Crowstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04113897143956076409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816762227332597963.post-72746610903799357702011-03-15T14:39:00.000-07:002011-03-16T13:50:27.501-07:00Wedding Wednesday: Sweet & SassyOne of our newest projects is the Bachelorette Boudoir Party!

The Custom Hotel provided a modern version of timeless class - much like themselves. Bob stayed classy with basic button down shirt and sweater (losing the sweater at the beach, for a more casual look), and Natasha dressed to compliment with a silk dress and later a silk and lace top. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">After a couple of shots a the Custom's Bar and Lounge that over looks the pool, we took off our shoes and had a bit of real So Cal fun. The weather was perfect. Blue skies and blue-green ocean provided the ideal backdrop for these two. We practiced the "Wedding Dip," snapped their smiles and kisses, and let them enjoy the view while hoping to catch the romance. We can't wait for June 25th, so we can capture the when the new chapter for their life together officially starts.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_napE06w8D04/TVDIxjaS9II/AAAAAAAAAIA/CVT__3olxW8/s1600/IMG_4954.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_napE06w8D04/TVDIxjaS9II/AAAAAAAAAIA/CVT__3olxW8/s320/IMG_4954.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571173492701983874" style="cursor: pointer;

Not to fear, it's not as gruesome as it sounds!! It is quite possible to do a Trash the Dress session where a good dry cleaning will restore your dress to same state as when you danced the night away with your groom. This type of session allows you to wear your dress again, kiss your spouse all session long and have some more stylized photos to add to your collection. Since it's after your wedding day, you'll be a little more relaxed and be able to enjoy the session for what it is: a date with your husband or wife. :)<br /><br />Our Trash the Dress sessions start at $75 (without hair and makeup).<br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://s561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/Trash%20the%20Dress/?action=view¤t=IMG_3396.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/Trash%20the%20Dress/IMG_3396.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/Trash%20the%20Dress/?action=view¤t=IMG_3659.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/Trash%20the%20Dress/IMG_3659.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/Trash%20the%20Dress/?action=view¤t=IMG_3717.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/Trash%20the%20Dress/IMG_3717.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/Trash%20the%20Dress/?action=view¤t=IMG_31582.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/Trash%20the%20Dress/IMG_31582.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos" /></a></center>Lauren Crowstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04113897143956076409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816762227332597963.post-89560320045756239242010-12-13T08:58:00.000-08:002010-12-13T09:17:09.171-08:00Maternity PhotosWhile I am more comfortable behind the camera rather than in front of it, I have always loved documenting life. My film camera in jr high, my canon powershot in high school and my iPhone today, I always have a camera in my purse to capture the moment.<br /><br />So when we found out we were expecting there was no doubt in my mind that we would take the time to do maternity photos to remember this precious time in our lives. Lindsay took us to a nearby park (where my husband proposed actually!) on Thanksgiving day to do some portraits. I had an elaborate photo story to tell but some of us (ahem husband) got tired of doing photos very quickly so we'll see if those actually happen ;)<br /><br />Here are a few from our session:<br /><center><br /><a href="http://s561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/?action=view¤t=a30374a8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/a30374a8.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/?action=view¤t=c54ba689.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/c54ba689.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/?action=view¤t=127860b0.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/127860b0.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/?action=view¤t=a9e46d8e.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/a9e46d8e.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos" /></a><br />J's Dad's Highschool Basketball Jersey :)<br /></center>Lauren Crowstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04113897143956076409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816762227332597963.post-68155135317611093372010-12-08T06:41:00.000-08:002010-12-24T12:48:31.265-08:00Wedding Wednesday - Something out of the boxWhen it comes to favors, I have nothing against candy coated almonds in tulle. In fact, I love eating the candy coating, not a big fan of the almonds though. But sometimes, you want something a little more fun and memorable for your guests to take home. A tangible memory of their presence at your wedding.<br /><br />A few months ago we hired Lefty Joe to do caricatures at a birthday party we hosted. He was a hit! It was nice to send everyone home with a favor that was also entertainment! There was quite a crowd watching the artist depict their friends. <br /><br /><center><a href="http://s561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/?action=view¤t=eb318574.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss57/laurelislephotography/eb318574.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos" /></a></center><br /><br /><br />www.foryournextparty.blogspot.com<br />626.343.3347Lauren Crowstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04113897143956076409noreply@blogger.com0
