I am SO behind on blogging! There are so many awesome things to share, and so we are starting with one of my favorite shoots from the fall. I had the pleasure of shooting a fabulous decor inspiration story for Real Weddings Magazine at Helwig Winery. The shoot was designed by the always amazing Kate Miller Events with florals and accessories made by Flourish. There was an INCREDIBLE cake and dessert desplay (including a smores bar set up by the fire) was provided by Sweet Cakes by Rebecca. We had our glamazons from Hello Glam there to make our beautiful models even MORE beautiful. And seriously! How beautiful are our real couple Emly and Alex? I want them to have hundreds of babies right now! How pretty will their babies be? SO PRETTY! Enough talking though… let’s show you some pretty pictures!

Isn’t that table incredible? I am IN LOVE with the linen! And those flowers! Good gravy they are so pretty… and they smelled pretty rad too.

How much do we love Emly and Alex? SO MUCH! They were so awesome to photograph!

And check out these desserts! They are so lovely! And REALLY tasty!

Thanks to all the awesome vendors that worked on this shoot! Check out the SLIDESHOW HERE or below for more images from this incredible shoot.

Tammy and Brian are so awesome! I was thrilled when they decide to do a day after session at their beautiful home in LaVerne, California. These two have such great style! I love all the art they had in their home too. Basically, it was dreamy.

Seriously! How amazing are these two? I just love them and am so grateful we got to photograph their stunning wedding and their awesome day after session! Check out the SLIDESHOW HERE or below for more of their day after session!

Wonderful Tammy and Brian are just two of the coolest people ever. Dustin and I had such a great time at their wedding in Lake Arrowhead, California. Seriously, it was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. It’s no wonder it has been the hangout of Hollywood stars for generations. It’s one heck of an awesome place for a wedding, that’s for sure. Tammy and Brian have some super awesome style to go along with them just being the coolest ever. Basically, I loved everything about their wedding. I mean, look at all this goodness!

Because Tammy and Brian are SOOOOO awesome, they had a first look. And then we rocked out some portraits before these two said I do!

That was seriously one of the best ceremonies we’ve ever witnessed. Awesome x 100,000! Once we got some family portraits taken we headed down to the Lake with the new Mr. and Mrs. for a few more couple shots before we got our party on.

I adored the fall themes that Tammy and Brian had throughout their wedding. And the cool owl ornaments… Tammy painted those. Hello talented and awesome! Nice to meet ya!

And any first dance that ends in a slow Chicken Dance is 100% awesome. Just so you know.

Tammy and Brian we adore you! Thank you for having us be a part of your beautiful wedding! Check out their SLIDESHOW HERE or below for more awesome. And stay tuned for their day after session! It is equally awesome!
