Mindy & Brian  Married at Vibiana, Downtown Los Angeles (Featured on Martha Stewart Weddings)

We have been DYING to share this wedding with you all & we are SO EXCITED that we finally can! Mindy & Brian’s wedding over Valentine’s Day weekend was our first of the 2010 season and what a way to start off the year – an amazing couple, an amazing location, amazing vendors and an amazing coordinator (our truly fabulous friend, Megan Fickling of La Partie Events) to bring the day together. Did I mention that the day was amazing? We were thrilled to hear that Martha Stewart Weddings wanted to feature this wedding on their website even if it meant keeping this post in our back pocket for awhile. You can check out the MSW feature here (be sure to click on the photo gallery for all the goodies) and since we’ve made Mindy & Brian wait for ages for this post, we’ll get right to the photos! Enjoy!

Brian is a real live rocket scientist, so it was only appropriate that their officiant (Brian’s uncle) had all their guests count down from 10 for the big kiss!

Mindy surprised Brian with a performance by the USC Marching Band – They totally rocked!

Mindy & Brian, Thanks so much for starting our season off on such a high! We hope this post was worth the wait!

Inspiration to Reality Photo Shoot Featured on Style Me Pretty

We are so thrilled to have been able to participate in Abby’s Inspiration to Reality project over at Style Me Pretty. We partnered with Meg Fickling of La Partie Events to choose an Inspiration Board that was the perfect mix of homey & modern, and design a “real” wedding based on a real bride’s inspirations. (See the original board here.) As crafty girls that happen to be photographers, it really was a dream come true to get to work with some of our favorite vendors and create a perfectly beautiful day for the sole purpose of photographing pretty things & sharing them with other girls who appreciate that stuff just as much as we do. We really tried to focus on the “reality” part of the shoot and handmade a lot of the elements (i.e. the backdrop, napkins, table runners, etc.). But of course we couldn’t do it all ourselves and want to say thank you SO MUCH to all of the other amazingly creative people that donated their time, energy & talents that made this shoot a reality and truly took it to the next level. Abby has all the details here and here and here over at Style Me Pretty, but we really wanted to just say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! And, enjoy the photos!
