Love the shot of the glamorous bridal party before Jen's red carpet Hollywood wedding at the port theater in Corona Del Mar! Amazing photography by Lin & Jirsa Photography

Truly amazing Lin & Jirsa Photography just posted this blog post about Jen's unique movie theater wedding I was privileged to be a part of! How cool is this!? It is unique even to have an indoor wedding in sunny California (other than churches of course), and why not in true red carpet style? Candlelight, heartfelt personal vows, truly an experience to witness this union. Congrats!

You MUST check out this ultra-cool wedding - and especially the bride's awesome outfit! (not actually a "dress" - neither did she have "shoes"!) I have worked with just about 1000 weddings and seen it all, and this intimate wedding really stands out in its unique style. I actually had my own reception at the same venue, and this neat, modern space is completely unrecognizable!

YAY - my dear friend (and former roomie) Heather got married on Saturday! Awesome photographer Becker already posted awesome images on his blog. Thank you Heather for trusting me with your makeup! (For some strange reason, it's always nerve-wrecking for me when it's for friends!)

My friend Scott has started a fundraiser to get psychological help for victims in Paris - please consider supporting this great cause!!! Get a stylish T-shirt with the Paris/Peace symbol in the process - comes in women's and men's sizes; short and long sleeve, and a couple colors/designs. I'm getting mine now!

Peace In Paris has been created as a portal to raise money for financial aid for the victims of the Islamic Terrorists Attacks on Paris, Nov. 13, 2015.
