Kelsey + Brett

The fabulous Amy Osaba recently asked me to create a handmade flower installation for Kelsey and Brett's wedding at the Trolley Barn a couple weeks ago. I decided to use both fabric and paper to create the hanging centerpiece for the ceremony. The talented Kyle Hale did an amazing job capturing this sweet and charming little wedding...

To see more photos from this wedding, head over to Once Wed today or visit Kyle's blog.

Working with uber talented photographers has many advantages, one being that they're always helping me to get my creative photo juices flowing. So, when Dusty and I were planning for our family vacation back in March, they had a few suggestions of things to take...one being this fun little toy. We also got to play around with some pretty cool cameras (photos hopefully coming soon, depending on if I didn't mess the film up). Last night Dusty pulled out the footage from our trip and made this video.

Haha... don't I look like a real photographer and like I know what I'm doing.
Too bad I left the cap on most of the time :)

I've always wanted red hair...

2009-09-18T11:57:00.007-04:00

I mean really really awesome, strong, bold, and bright red hair. I tried it once and ended up looking like an orange Little Mermaid. So obviously, when I saw this wedding on Once Wed today, I couldn't help myself from posting a few of the gorgeous images.I'm not saying that I love this wedding based solely on the red hair... the jewelry, the graphic album covers, the dahlias everywhere, the color pop of flower in her hair, the dress, the awesome photography from Steep Street, and the fact that they're going to Disneyland for their honeymoon all contribute to my love for this wedding!
Check out all the photos here.
