Gretchen & Bert

Love this couple. Everything about them was so effortless and joyful. Can't you tell? This wedding was recently featured on Snippet and Ink. Photographed by Aaron Delesie at San Ysidro Ranch. My favorite place on Earth away from home...so far.

garden of earthly delights

Here's a little something we did a while back for Martha Stewart Weddings. Inspired by the elements...earth, wind, fire and water. This shoot was fun, I learned a lot about what I can do better next time. The greenhouses were even more beautiful than I imagined they would be. My favorite was the skeleton frame of one, left to be gathered back into the raw and ragged growth of mother nature. Kind of hauntingly beautiful...

So many good people were involved in this little shoot. Thanks to all of them. Plus Joel Serrato came along to shoot a little film which is so beautiful...but I am so seriously inept I can figure out how to post it here. But check out his work if you haven't already.

Jose

What is there to say?
The man is insanely talented.
He is a good person.
He has passion for his work.
I love how he makes my flowers look...hehe.











This Jose Villa Workshop was featured on SMP this week.
Jill LaFleur and I worked on styling this together...a seriously fun, creative and inspiring endeavor. Wedding bells! Rope and Lace, and Poppies with Jasmine! I will post some of my favorites here later in the week. Too much goodness to pass up.
