Again... this one was at the Grand Hotel... with the amazing Marty... and beautiful flowers done by the hotel's own flower shop Margret's Garden.
Although I had to huff and puff biking up hill chasing their carriage (first one of the season... I was COMPLETELY out of practice).. it was totally worth it. Most the time the carriage rides are my favorite part of the day... its when the couple relaxes and soaks in the moment... the most laughter, and tenderness... I love it!
Plus I got to see Sarah scrunch her nose... and how Andrew's face would light up everytime she did!!
Sarah & Andrew... have so much fun in life together, I know you will ... the two of you have such a strong bond that the world can only try to understand and I feel honored to have seen just a glimpse of it!!
Love,

Aggie & Deric were married this past Saturday and what an amazing way to kick off my island wedding season... they are so beautiful and super super fun ... REALLY... I don't know if its becuase they were so cool or because I'm a little crazy but SOMEHOW... Aggie's mother ended up with my camera running around like a kid shooting pics... I may ask her to help me more often... if nothing else for the pure entertainment factor.
It was so great to be back at The Grand Hotel... I just love this place sooo beautiful and Marty Haines (their amazing wedding coordinator) is the best!! Everywhere you look there is a place for a pic.
Aggie & Deric... it was such an incredible joy to meet the two of you and be a part of your family for a quick moment!! I wish you both a lifetime of laughter and love... I know you'll be laughing A LOT!!
Love,
A

I just saw that my photo was featured in In Style Weddings. They did a little write up on TNT's Wedding Day... which premiered lsat week. I was a featured wedding photographer last Novemeber... make sure to check out the episode Thursday July 16th when Jennifer & Shawn had the most magical wedding!!
*** NOTE that this date has changed from my orginal post a few weeks ago ... Wedding Day is now on Thursdays not Tuesdays ***

I also saw this photo on the InStyle Weddings website. I was surprised to see that it was ME! Great photo! Oh and great job getting in the magazine. You are an amazing photographer. : )
(07.01.09 @ 06:05 PM)A moment that will stay with me forever... definitely a highlight of my trip!
I am so jealous! You girls are so lucky :-) I have truly enjoyed every one of your pictures from this FABULOUS trip! Drink a glass of vino for me please!!! I look forward to seeing the rest of the pictures from your week in the south of France!
(06.18.09 @ 08:02 AM)Pheww... its been a whole 3 days.. no internet ... and I've been going stir crazy (I think I may have a slight addiction)... luckily I was able to steal a little wireless and a computer and hop on hear quickly just to post a few pics.
Saturday afternoon I was met at the Beziers train station by a car FULL (we're talking even the trunk) of some of my favorite Santa Barbara girls... we then drove through beautiful vineyards to our cute tiny little town called Puisserguier (btw none of us know how to pronounce it). Since then we've visited an extremely old Medievel town Minerve, went to an amazing market, and had some of the best food I've had in all my time in Europe (shhh... don't tell anyone else).
But the best part has been all the laughter... put 6 girls in a station wagon driving around the French countryside.. listening to HYSTERICAL french music... and having NO IDEA how to speak French and there's bound to be a lot of laughs.
One last thing... I have to mention... the gorgeous old aristicratic home with all the original antiques... imagine again the 6 of us with the run of the place... there's even its own private pub in the back of the center courtyard... words cannot explain how cool this place is.
Not sure if I'll be able to get back on here for a bit.. .the next tme you hear from me could be from France.. could be Spain... could be California... or could even be Mackinac!!
Wishing you all a week of sunshine, love and laughter!
Love,
A
