Erica and Abe’s destination wedding in San Miguel De Allende, Mexico is published in the latest issue of Get Married magazine! You can check out my original post here to see the full wedding post and read more about this amazing couple and all their wedding day details!

Jaime + Jess’ wedding took place at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara, CA on the Fourth of July, and their wedding was filled with so many meaningful details and lovely old and new traditions…Jaime’s mothers dress was worked into the fabric of the chupa they were married under, and instead of a having a traditional bouquet made, Jaime had her closest friends hand her different varieties of white flowers as she walked down the isle, and they were tied together when she reached Jess. Even the bright orange VW bus, which is owned by their close friend, made its appearance. The day could not have been more perfect! The couple entered their reception on chairs straight into the most insane hora ever, and the night ended with a view of the fireworks display over the pier in Santa Barbara…a perfect end to a most lovely wedding! Jill La Fleur from La Fleur Weddings did an amazing job coordinating the day’s events! Gorgeous floral design by Modern Day Design.

Ruche just launched the Back to School lookbook today! I’m in love with so many of these outfits…oh so lovely and perfect for Fall. Now that we’ve finally had some hot Summer weather here in Southern California…I might be looking forward to some nice cool temperatures, so I can wear one of these cute coats or layered looks. We shot this preview to Fall catalog all in studio…and there will be another Fall series out next month! Mai + Josh created the two awesome backdrops for the studio, one using chalkboard paint and their own old school paperwork, and the other out of tons of post it notes and paper square cutouts! Hair + make-up by the awesome KC Witkamp and the lovely model is Martha from Click Models. You can click on the link or the image below to view the full lookbook.
