A New Trend???


So I came across something I had never heard of today.... apparently a bride sold a spot as a bridesmaid in her wedding on EBAY! How crazy is that? According to the auction, the winner got a spot as bridesmaid including a dress, shoes, and an invite (with a guest) to the reception. Kelly Gray from Virginia Beach, VA was just hoping to raise a little cash for her wedding. She had no idea the auction would fetch $10,000 in the end! Who was the lucky winner? Turns out it is a representative from Dr Pepper Snapple group. The group will be setting up a website to help pick a bridesmaid for Kelly's April 19th wedding. Hey, that's cheap advertising for them and Kelly and her fiance are thrilled because now they can afford a honeymoon! Dr Pepper Snapple will provide drinks for the wedding as well- of course!

Of course that has spawned copycats... I didn't see any takers on the current spots up for sale.

Photo M&Ms

Ummm, maybe I have been completely in the dark on this one- but did you know you can now print photos on M&Ms? Brilliant! What a great idea for personalized favors!

Lilly and Billy Part 2

I think the best word to describe this bride is joyous. She was so lovely, happy and not stressed at all which is what made this wedding one of the most relaxed weddings that I have ever photographed. Here are a few more images from the day and there will be a few more to come. Enjoy!


I love this photograph- there is so much emotion in this embrace- a quiet moment alone.


Just in case...

A quick kiss right after the ceremony.


The bridal party and their significant others.


The rings.

Lilly and Billy's Wedding Part 1


Lilly and Billy got married at the Sand Rock Farm in Aptos on June 28th. I was fortunate enough to photograph this event with the lovely and talented Loren of Loren Weltsch Photography. The weather, venue and couple were so perfect! Their love for each other and the earth is obvious. From the favors (tree saplings and soap bars) to the shawls available for guests to borrow as the night got chilly- there was thoughtfulness behind every detail. They had a large Italian contingency, and every one's love for the couple was quite apparent- this was such a fun wedding! Here are a few photos from the day, and I will post more soon!
