Diaz Wedding

The 1940s was full of class and fashion to die for. 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!

Wedding Wednesday: We ALL love us some Costco

The day you pick out the perfect dress....
Standing in the middle of yards and yards of tulle....
Staring at the reflection of you as a future bride...
in the middle of Costco?

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.

Here's to dress shopping, no matter where that may be! Take your girls and enjoy the day :)

Wedding Wednesday: Bridal Make Up

As a bride, figuring out who will do your make up is probably one of the items on your to do checklist. It's important to find an artist who will not only make you look your best but understands what kind of look you are going for. We suggest you find a make up artist who will give you a trial run before the big day so you can fine tune the details and simply enjoy your wedding day. Hiring a make up artist will help ensure that the photos of your most memorable moments show your best side.

One of our favorite make up artists to work with is Dee Dee of Dollface Makeup. Her years of experience show in the polished look she gives all her brides.
