GETTING PUBLISHED : WARM & FUZZY

EVERY photographer (and most Brides, too) want to see their names in lights! Isn't that the point? "Look at MY picture!! Look what I can do!!"

So, it's sort of an 'OMG OMG - I'm 10' Tall!!' moment when you get your 1st Submission Published! (especially when it's on your very 1st try!)

I was so excited to be featured in the San Francisco edition of Ceremony Magazine with our Sept. 2011 Wedding at the Kenwood Inn & Spa! YAY! (full post here!)

As soon as I'd gotten my feet wet, I was hooked! I've been submitting to Wedding Blogs like crazy all month!

One thing I've noticed in a hurry as I cruised around to see which ones I love most? ... Wedding Blogs aren't really about the Photographers at all...or their quality. They're about inspiring Brides! To help them plan their day & find all the amazing details that will be exclusively theirs! Ok - Got it!

Sooo - - no worries, adorable Brides of mine...we'll be working on getting your names in lights, too! xo

SONOMA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : KENWOOD INN & SPA

You know that amazing feeling you get when you find JUST the right 'thing'...a purse...those shoes...your Wedding gown? Well, that's exactly how Lisa & Aaron felt when they pulled in for a quick stop at the Kenwood Inn & Spa on their way to tour a nearby Venue - THIS was their place! A quaint Wine Country Paradise - it was their 'perfect'!

Another new Venue for us - I was VERY excited to have the opportunity to share in their day. As soon as we arrived, we jumped right in! Not literally, of course, but we are soooo going back for some 'downtime' as soon as we get the chance! ahhh

Lisa & her adorable daughter were getting ready in their breathtaking, expansive Suite - while Aaron & his Parents were enjoying the laid-back Lounge. It was easy to see Lisa had paid extra special attention to each detail of her day & I think it all came together flawlessly!

With a handful of their closest Family & Friends by their side - they were surrounded by not only the beautiful grounds, but all the happiness & joy this day should bring.

Before the Restaurant opened for the evening we had PLENTY of time to move around the property & take advantage of the backdrops - and were SO thankful the rain held out for us! yeah!
