Every couple who is in the process of planning a wedding right now should pick up a copy of this magazine. There is such a diverse range of styles and inspiration in one single issue. I’m incredibly honored that Today’s Bride included some images from my photoshoot at Dig Gardens in their latest issue. You can see the full post about this shoot here, or the feature on Style Me Pretty here.

holman ranch wedding | style me pretty | carmel photographer

It’s always a good day when I get to photograph a wedding at one of my favorite venues, and it’s an equally good day when that wedding gets published on Style Me Pretty! Kari and Nick are such a sweet couple, and they put a whole lot of time and effort into creating a day as memorable as this one. They chose a great team of vendors to help bring their vision to life, and I have to give a huge thanks to Amy Byrd Weddings  for making the whole day go so perfectly, and to Fleurs du Soleil and Taste of Elegance for creating so much beauty for me to photograph that day.

holman ranch wedding | i do venues feature

I Do Venues is a great resource for couples searching for their ideal venue, and it’s always an honor when they use my photographs to showcase a special place. Today they featured photos from Robyn & Tobin’s wedding at Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley. Holman is still one of my very favorite places to shoot, and every wedding there is a beautiful one…but this particular wedding was an especially memorable one thanks to truly talented vendors like Coastside Couture and Laughing Gal Floral. You can see the full post here, or my own blog post about this wedding here.

 

kyle & dylan | holman ranch wedding | carmel photographer

Allison is the creative mind behind Engaged & Inspired, and she has a brand new website up showcasing her work designing, coordinating and crafting up beautiful details for weddings…see the new site here. I love that the first wedding that comes up in her portfolio is Kyle & Dylan’s wedding that we did together at Holman Ranch late last year. This was one of those weddings that had it all – perfect weather, gorgeous details, 2 lovely families coming together, a great group of fun friends, and a couple who could not be a sweeter match. Gabe and I had so much fun at this wedding, and we secretly wished we were guests on the dance floor that night. I have so many more images that I’m dying to share from this day, but here’s a little preview of what’s to come. You can see Allison’s full feature here.

wedding chicks features clos la chance wedding

This wedding has to be one of my favorites because it was so incredibly full of all of the things that matter the most: love, family, friends and a whole lot of fun. Then when you add in all of the beauty of a venue like Clos La Chance and great vendors like Nicole Ha doing florals, the day can’t be anything but memorable in the best way. I’m so excited that the Wedding Chicks did such such a beautiful feature on this wedding, and I’m truly thankful to all of the talented vendors who helped make this day so perfect for Lara & Anthony, (you’ll find the full vendor list at the bottom of the feature.)

iss magazine | cover shoot with coastside couture

I could not have been more excited and honored to collaborate with the lovely Stacie Ivers Francombe and her talented team behind the ISS experience, (providing knowledge and inspiration to vendors in the wedding industry) especially since they wanted me to do a cover shoot for their ISS magazine featuring my dear friends at Coastside Couture. Karissa and Heidi are two of the most hard-working and fun people to work with in the wedding industry and I’m so happy that they’re getting the credit and exposure that they deserve! We had so much fun out at their Carmel Valley office that day, and I kinda wish we could do it all over again. These ladies lived up to their stellar reputation by going straight from their photo shoot to co-ordinating and setting up everything for the ISS experience in Carmel that started later that day up at Holman Ranch. The also managed to do it all in 4 inch heels and with smiles on their faces! See the full magazine feature below, including an interview with me about my photography career and how we approached the shoot. ISS is a really amazing resource for wedding professionals, so go and get your subscription here, or sign up for one of their conferences that are held all over the US and beyond.
