Indian Springs Ranch

I met Gail from Indian Springs Ranch at Brides.com party and she invited me to her beautiful Ranch in Sylmar, Ca last Thursday afternoon. This 40 acre ranch is going to make someone's wedding unforgettable. I love being in outdoors so being invitied to Indian Springs Ranch was like a vacation to me.

I met with more talents in the wedding industry; My Wedding Blooms, Wedding Jeannie (I love this name!), La Creme Bakery , The Venetian Palace and Open Box Designes This ranch has so much potential, I can't wait to see how Jeannie Ward from Wedding Jeannie will transform this place for one of her weddings in the future. Jeannie kindly shared her knowledge with us during the party and I just read PDN article where she was interviewed!
Gail has a warm smile and sexy British accent!

I met Sandra P. at Jose Vila's workshop and we immediately connected! so when she invited me to be her date for the Brides.com party, I leaped for the joy. I love this fun shot of Sandra Pan. When I meet people I see only one thing, genuineness of their heart. She definitely has a good heart and she is so talented. I am glad we became friends! Attending networking events are definitely helping me gain more friends that I keeps me grounded.

A+ Jose Villa- PPA Super Monday

I came across Jose Villa's work many years ago and I fell in love with them at first sight. I am so happy to see that he is featured in PDN magazine this month because he is the most talented photographer that I know of. He "knows" photography and his work is just simply beautiful. So when I saw his name on PPA Super Monday , I told everyone about it. It was so much fun driving up with Marie & Rowena and we spent awesome day in Solvang, CA with Jose Villa. He delivered A+ workshop. I believe that photographer's heart and soul translates into his work. Let me just say that the man behind his beautiful work is also as beautiful in person.

I tried little bit of Jose Villa + Me on these images.

Simply beautiful bouquets were provided by Renae's Bouquet

Stunning Make-Up and hair service was provided by Mar from T.E.A.M make-up & hair. I wish I knew Mar when I got married. Her style is so elegant. I just love her! I am thinking of an excuse to get Mar to stylize me. Super fun and beautiful Lacie was wearing dress by Jenny Lee collection. I am happy when I capture true spirit and personality of a person I photograph. There were other gorgeous shots of her, but I think this image is my favorite of Lacie. Hope you like it as much as I do Lacie! Shelbie and Gerado was our couple of the day. Sweet Shelbie was wearing this elegant dress by Melissa Sweet. Shelbie, I hope you enjoyed your modeling debut. Thank you for being so accommodating and patient with us.
There is a big advantage of having talented photographer as a friend. They know how to capture you more beautiful than you really are! I love this picture of me, Marie shot. Can't you just feel how happy I was that day? Thank you Marie!
