“I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.” - Helena Bonham Carter ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hi friends! Andrew here, I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about this lovely lady. Anna is usually the one who curates our instagram feed but for the past few days we’ve been on a much needed vacation to Tulum with some friends. And if anyone knows how to take a vacation properly it’s Anna. So I thought I would take this opportunity to tell you more about the better half of us. Where to start, well Anna is easily described as a super petite adorable little thing clocking in at a whopping 5 feet tall. But what she lacks in vertical reach she makes up for in her unparalleled capacity for caring. She’s a die hard loyalist to her friends and family, especially me. A full on introvert with a voicemail stating that “she honestly doesn’t pick up so please just text” but that’s mostly because she’s a thinker and wants to have a chance to give the care to responding with her own touch. You find when working with us that all of the emails from her are sprinkled with “Hi sweet ..enter your name here!” which isn’t a boiler plate simply how she is. And on that topic the number of exclamation points she uses on emails is unmistakably high but also incredibly accurate to her personality. Anna is also a perfectionist when it comes to her work, many times she will be up well into the night simply because she wants every image our couples receive to be perfect. So with the midnight oil burning and a trade off between Kenny G Christmas music year round and playing Grey’s Anatomy on repeat just know that she’s always putting in that extra effort to make your photos as beautiful as humanly possible. Other things Anna loves: Christmas, vanilla lattes, everything made of chocolate, sweaters in any weather, reading books over and over, really sweat wines, evenings with friends, traveling, and loads of candles. So come on over she’d love to share a bottle of rosé but just be sure to text her!

We’re kicking off the new year with a total stunner! Planned by CES Weddings and Events, Annie and Patrick’s gorgeous Canyon Oaks Country Club Wedding is white-tented-rustic-elegance at its finest. Details included plentiful florals in a subdued palette by Cambray Rose Florist, vintage-inspired rentals from WeDo Designs, a beautiful naked cake by Upper Crust Bakery and a bride that fit the part in her effortless gown and cathedral-length lace veil. We loved stealing them away to a wide open field over the road for some golden hour portraits during their reception. It was magic!

Katelyn and Dustin’s Temecula Creek Inn wedding was the thing of fairytales. Their day was filled with vintage inspired decor and organic florals, and had a natural but wild, whimsical, boho feel which perfectly suited the stone cottage and gardens of their venue! These two darlings wanted their wedding to have a Sunday family dinner vibe… don’t you love that idea? It was inspired by the Sunday get togethers they used to have with their combined families before they moved from San Diego to Portland. See the beauty from their wedding on the blog!

Grateful for the talent of so many vendors that made this day so dreamy! We are so thrilled to put this blog post together and relive the magic.

Emily and Steven’s wedding was a beautiful rustic affair on the side of a mountain. They said 'I Do' in a grove of trees surrounded by their friends and family on a stunning fall day in late September. The skies were clear and the temperature was warm. As the light grew softer and the layers of color settled over the hills we hiked up the mountain top for some magical twilight photos with sweeping views of the breath-taking San Pasqual Valley below.

You can see the rest of the magic from their wedding on the blog!

Katelyn and Dustin asked all their guests to wear something black to their wedding. It was such a fun way to involve their friends and family and make them feel even more a direct part of their wedding! With such a simple statement palette, it made their ceremony photos look so classy, and kept the focus on the moments, with no unnecessary distractions. So beautiful.
