A Real Momental Wedding – Mari and Anton, Vina Robles Winery, California II
A bit more from Mari and Anton’s wedding for you today… The vineyard dancing shots at dusk are among my favorites – the light is gorgeous! We brought the Fleur de Lis artwork into the seating cards and Mari chose corks as holders. The bride and groom Matryoshka (Russian Nesting Dolls) dolls are too fun… […]
A Real Momental Wedding – Mari and Anton, Vina Robles Winery, California
Mari was one of the first clients to request a Fleur de Lis painting and let’s just say she started a trend, at least one here at the studio. Her vision was bold with splashes of color (bubbly pink and grassy green to be exact). As you will see from her stunning wedding day photography […]
Inspirations – A Wedding Day Pillowfight
Last week I was introduced to the work of Mike Larson Inc. I have been drooling ever since. Next week I will be sharing a Real Momental Wedding featuring his work but until then this shot will have to do! Whether artfully staged by the photographer or impromptu this is a shot to treasure and […]
Press – Painted Orchid Wedding Invitation in Inside Weddings
Have you seen the new issue of Inside Weddings? I am thrilled to say our Painted Orchid invitation set was featured in the Summer issue. WOW what an honor!

A Real Momental Wedding – Melanie and Adam, The Fairmont Washington D.C. II
Last week I shared Part I of Melanie and Adam’s Real Wedding photographed by Regeti’s Photography. Now I am back with more loveliness! The bride is stunning here and so was her style. Classic elegance mingled with spirited color is a good way to describe the day. I absolutely love her veil shot below and […]
A Real Momental Wedding – Melanie and Adam, The Fairmont Washington D.C.
Melanie contacted me early last year and I knew instantly we would connect. Her ideas for stationery were inspired by a striking china pattern (more on that tomorrow). The first sample created was the one… and from there we just had fun detailing the design. Laura from Wish Events sent over images from Melanie’s day […]
A Peek into the Studio – Lace Wedding Invitations
Oh how I love this invitation suite. Several months ago I purchased some laces, just to play and here we are. My “playing” often leads to a stationery project that I may never have dreamed could work but for Christina, it certainly did. The two varieties of lace acted as a closure along with the […]
A Real Momental Wedding – Sheri and Tom's Yosemite Wedding Part II
I heard from Sheri yesterday and she said “looking at these photos makes me want to get married all over again.” I love that. Gorgeous room at The Ahwahnee Hotel. Awaiting some professional shots from Patrick Pike, my snapshots of the seating card and cones will have to do! This shimmery bark-like paper appeared throughout […]
A Real Momental Wedding – Sheri and Tom's Yosemite Wedding Part I
When Patrick Pike sent me a sneak peek at client Sheri’s Yosemite Wedding I was floored. Having visited and painted in Yosemite countless times I was eagerly anticipating a look at Sheri’s wedding to see how the majesty of this place posed as a backdrop for her day. Really few words are necessary so I […]
A Peek into the Studio – Orchid Weddings
This week is all about orchids. Similar artwork is used in both designs but wow difference a few colors and brushstrokes can make!
Inspirations – A Sailboat E-Session
You all know how much I respect my photographer friends, right? There is something so pure and magical about the ability to stop time, essentially crystallize an emotion and that is what I feel is at the heart of a powerful photograph. I found this image here and simply could not stop looking. I want […]

The Engage Symposiums are mindfully crafted to never be short on style or detail. This year was no different. To put into words my appreciation for Rebecca and Kathryn, is difficult…thank you just doesn’t seem to cut it. Our industry is brighter, more savvy and stylish, stronger and more ready to face shift (thank you […]
