Monday cutie: a french press, a photo shoot and a wholelatta happiness

It was a perfect day yesterday. Waking up, creating some seriously beautiful flowers for a photo shoot and then meeting up with two of the sweetest people I know (see their pretty faces below) for a glass of wine. Let's just say I seriously enjoyed the 80 degree January day in SLO. I thought it would be difficult for all of the other days of the week to trump Sunday but as it turns out Monday, only 3 hours young and after a superb french press brew, is making sure to keep the good stuff coming!


Soooo.....
Cameron Ingalls is a ridiculously talented photographer and also happens to be a SUPER nice guy. I have admired his work for a while, even from the early days of photographs hanging in local coffee shops. Cameron's work is romantic, meaningful and every picture seems to tell a very sweet story. He also has a project called The Wedding Standard, a place for brides, vendors and interested people in the like to look for folks in the industry who are raising the bar. From The Wedding Standard Cameron says, "I want my brides to have the best of the best, the people that don't just work for a paycheck, but who work with a love for their craft and a passion for people. Artists interviewed here are those that don't settle for mediocrity in what they do, they see their business as a service and an art form". I hope you can understand the excitement I felt when Cameron asked if he could interview ME for The Wedding Standard! It's so awesome to be recognized by such a leader in the wedding industry but to also be grouped together with so many talented folks. I feel so humbled. So....without further ado check out the interview HERE!

Monday cutie: Kate+Zac and a castle

Kate and Zac were married at Eagle Castle Winery a short while. Not a real castle I know, but it's pretty close and you can have a glass of wine while you visit - what could be better? The wedding day was clear and the bright colors of orange, blue and green popped out against the clean backdrop at the Winery. Amy Bakes Cupcakes handled the sweets and Ken Kienow shot these super crisp images for me to share!

Monday cutie: Merit+Sam and some very sweet little banners

Merit and Sam were married on a hilltop in West Paso Robles. It was warm and clear and the perfect sun light for some romantic late summer nuptials.  I adore the use of little yellow banners to celebrate their first exit as Mr.&Mrs. What a sweet and inexpensive way to make a seemingly wide open space seem so full and happy. Hats off to Michele @ Forget Me Knot Event Planning for pulling it all together and of course many thanks to Allyson Magda for sharing some of the many fabulous images.
