This wedding is so amazing there are going to be several blog entries about it. You’ve been properly warned. Bride Ashley had so many lovely details at her wedding from incorporating heirlooms from her grandmother and great grandmother (her buttons and her wedding ring on her bridal bouquet) to her love of paper (including using vintage stamps), to the amazing food from her employer, Wolfgang Puck Catering, to the wooden dessert stands being from trees in the backyard of Ashley’s childhood home.

I especially loved that Ashley used 14 Etsy artists to make her wedding day especially unique.

An Old-Fashioned Girl at Heart

I guess you can tell from this blog entry that I’m an old-fashioned girl. I love classic linen bookcloth wedding albums and Polaroid film (which I still have in a limited supply of course).

I created these three albums for the A Soolip Wedding event a couple of weeks ago. I’m proud to add these albums to my repertoire of albums to show to brides to be.

Check out Mark & Jennifer’s beautiful Catalina wedding album.

While I was in Las Vegas at the Annual WPPI Trade Show I found some great new products.  This was one of my great discoveries in Vegas and I call it the Sweet Accordion Book.  It is such a great way for me to say thank you to my clients.  I can’t wait to create a bunch of them this year.

As promised, here is what my booth looked like at A Soolip Wedding on Sunday afternoon.

For this show I premiered new proof boxes and new press printed books in beautiful linen bookcloth, plus a sweet little accordion book.  Happy to say that I already had all the props for my table.  All those scavengers hunts at local flea markets and antique stores across the country has paid off.

Thank you Kara Frans and Jen O’Sullivan for these images.

A Soolip Wedding yesterday was absolutely amazing.  Guests of the show loved the photo booth and I think this slideshow proves it.

Any bride and groom that books a wedding with me this year gets the photo booth included in their wedding photography package.

More about the show and my booth tomorrow……………………

In the meantime enjoy.

I Love Film – Leanne and Christopher

Yesterday’s blog entry was about my sister Leanne’s wedding last year.  Even though I thought I would shoot more than I did, fellow photographer Laurie Bailey knew better and insisted that I shoot very little.  

I shot a half a roll of 3200 film (a film that I love) and this is one of my favorite images that I shot.
