I’m back from being on the other side with my friends Cyn & Derek’s wedding! It was pretty crazy, and FUN and stressful at the same time. :) I took a TON of photos with my polaroid over the past week (surprisingly, I barely picked up my regular camera), and a few from the iPhone, which I have posted. :) More to come soon, but here are a few quick ones for now. :)
One thing I did notice though, was that I was sooo busy with other duties and things (you don’t know how much I was sweating over the speech!!), I barely had time to pick up my regular camera, or even think about photo ops! Which is why I’m glad Stephanie was there to capture it all :) Can’t wait to see her photos!
Plus, yes, everything does go by in a big fat blur, even if you’re only in the wedding party!
re: exciting announcement – polaroid art show!
I’m so happy to announce that I will be one of the few artists participating in a polaroid art show this September at the Found Gallery in LA! This is actually something that I’ve somewhat dreamed of doing for my polaroids, and I have actually never done a real art show outside the college ones. I’m really excited, and hope you can make it out to see the show if you’re in the LA area at that time! The opening is Sept 6th (which I will unfortunately not be able to attend) but it will be up for three weeks and the gallery is free, so take a look if you’re over there ;)
Found Gallery – “Camera Ephemera”

re: my best friend’s wedding. :)
Tomorrow is the big day and we have been running around most of the week, buying last minute stuff, putting together stuff, making 3am Walmart runs and things like that. :) It’s been pretty fun because it’s been a long time since we’ve spent time together like this, and I honestly can’t wait to see all my other girls too! This is going to be so much fun! :D
re: featured wedding on wedpaperdivas!
Melanie & Brian’s wedding has been featured on Wed Paper Divas! Yay! :D
re: music.
Mae has been making me really happy lately, I really love this song (I want to create a dance for it), same with this song by Shiny Toy Guns. (links open into YouTube videos)

03 :: words.
“I hope that someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight, and that’s all they do. They don’t pull away. They don’t look at your face. They don’t try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms, without an ounce of selfishness in it.” via mysunshine on tumblr.
Merlynn gets AIR! More to come soon :)
P.S. My fun polaroid announcement to come tomorrow! :)
What can I say about these two? Seriously? They are amazing. I feel like if they lived in San Diego, we would need to hang out everyday (only if they wanted to of course!)
They were married in La Jolla at Cuvier Park with an amazingly ROCKIN’ (afternoon!) reception at the Hard Rock Cafe. The day was beautiful, and seriously, these two are so smitten for one another – head over heels! When I saw the way they interacted with absolutely no prompting from me, I knew our trash the dress session was going to ROCK! (Images from those coming soon!)
Kelly & Steve, thank YOU for allowing me a glimpse into your (oh so familiar!) world and being a part of it. Many, many blessings on your journey ahead :) *Cue the song “Starlight” by Muse*
Their getaway? A vespa. How awesome is that?!
