Ruche Giveaway Winner!

Thank you everyone for entering the Ruche Spring Giveaway! I loved reading everyone’s entries and what inspires them! The new Ruche Spring Lookbook has launched and the winner of the Sunny Veracruz Straw Tote is Erin Miller, who is inspired by:
“Colors inspire me - the burnt yellow of tumeric, the juicy pink of a fresh garden tomato, the gentle green of dafodil shoots pushing their way through the cold ground.”
Congratulations Erin! Please e-mail me your address, so we can send you your new tote!

Jodi + Kurt | engagement

We met Jodi + Kurt last week on a rainy afternoon for their engagement session - and since we booked their wedding over the phone - we were so happy to finally meet and hang out with these two! Jodi + Kurt are awesome wedding photographers in Virginia, and we are so excited to be documenting their wedding day this year on a family ranch in Virginia - complete with home made pies, vintage books + tea cups!! We cannot wait! After their session, we all went out for yummy vegetarian food and coffee to discuss photography, food (they are even bigger foodies than we are! awesome!), and old kung fu movies. Have I mentioned that we love our couples! On another note, I was so ecstatic to see that the yellow mustard flowers are finally blooming in Orange County again….Spring is definitely my favorite time of year! =)

I’m honored to have some of my bouquet shots featured in the latest issue of Bride and Bloom magazine. All bouquets were designed by the talented Carissa of JL Floral Design for an Eco-Chic collaboration for Utterly Engaged! The first bouquet is dusty miller foliage and cream balsa wood flowers, and the next bouquet is created with blush parrot tulips and white astilbe, and the third bouquet is made with ivory tulips and butter yellow ranunculas. Carissa is an amazing floral artist and event stylist, and if any brides are still looking for a florist, I can’t recommend her enough!!

Erica + Abrahm | wedding

Stephanie — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 08:42:36 +0000

Words cannot express how beautiful and perfect Erica + Abrahm’s wedding was and how amazing their love is for one another - these two melt my heart! They were married on Valentine’s Day in the gorgeous, romantic mountain town of San Miguel De Allende, Mexico and their wedding took place at a historic colonial villa called Casa Chorro. The wedding theme of orange + gray, succulents, wood and French linen went so perfect with the venue! Erica was stunning in a lace Monique Lhuillier dress, and she had her Kate Spade shoes dyed the perfect shade of orange to match their wedding colors. Their wedding coordinator, Guadalupe Alvarez from Penzi Weddings, did an amazing job of coordinating the three days of celebration. Not only did she provide the flowers, decor, and Benito the tequila donkey, but her team built the whole raised reception dance floor on the villa grounds in less than two days! Right after Erica + Abe’s ceremony, the couple and all their guests walked the streets along with the tequila donkey, dancing to mariachi music and taking shots of tequila - an excellent way to get the party started! Delicious local + organic catering by The Restaurant. Oh, and their reception was an insane party - I mean everyone, everyone danced the night away to out-of-this-world mixes by The Flashdance …and the party kept going to the wee hours with only a moments pause to watch a celebratory fireworks display or to each some late night al pastor tacos! Thank you Erica + Abe for not only having us document your wedding day, but also helping us discover San Miguel De Allende - a place that we most definitely fell in love with!
