I get by with a little help from my friends…. I just want to say that people amaze me. No matter how great I think they can be, sometimes they are even greater than that. So i wanted to give you all an update. We have over 75 vendors who have given to REVO – in fact we have so many it is taking us some time to list everything in the auction. So, I’m sitting here thinking my industry is a pretty amazing one =)
Kate Capshaw of Resolusean Events, Sabrina Cadini of La Dolce Idea, and Meaghan Schmaltz of Weddings Made Splendid have been working like crazy. A lot of wonderful people have been emailing me and asking how they can help. Here are some great ways!!

super cute!!! I love this shoot. Salina and Jerry and I had a fun day running around on the midway. I love taking engagement pictures, it definitely builds the excitement up for the wedding day. S and J are getting married at the Japanese Friendship Garden so we got a couple of shots in Balboa Park. Enjoy the pics! Congrats Salina and Jerry =) xoxo s

Jamie and adam are awesome!   flamingos, lilypads, ice skates, beer, wild flowers -need i say more!

Naomi and Josh and 150 of their closest friends flew out from New York for a beautiful San Diego wedding.  The weather didn’t go exactly as planned but it didn’t put a damper on this party.  Mike and I were lucky to have gotten to hang out with Naomi and Josh in Central Park last fall so we were really looking forward to the big day.  We all had breakfast a couple of days before to go over the timeline and make sure it was maximized for fun.  We even got to meet Josh’s nieces and nephew – yup Mike and I were trying to win them over lol.  My favorite part of the wedding day was when they saw each other for the first time – and taking the human form JETS photo-and the whole night on the dance floor!  big love from the west coast friends! xoxo suzanne   flawless coordination by the lovely Emily Smiley Location  The Del dreamy Florals by  Botanica band The Fabulous UltraTones and they are fabulous!  The yummiest part was red velvet from cake

Nischel and Brad had a morning wedding, that was a first for me.  Giuseppes made breakfast so of course it was a wonderful day.  Nischel is a photographer which made everything extra cool for me.  She cares about the same techy-geeky stuff that I do.  They had a touching backyard ceremony under their parents gazebo.  By far Nischel has been the most organized bride that i have ever met, and that is saying a lot.  Cheers to the happy couple.  xoxo suzanne   Florals :  Metro Floral Cake : CAKE Catering : Giuseppes

Melissa from I Do Weddings has a new arrival!!!! Baby Bennet is such a sweetie!  Congrats to Melissa and Brett =)  I am so happy for you both xoxo suzanne

Hi everyone,  It’s with a bittersweet heart that i’m writing to you today.  My friend Peggi Walker has cancer.  I remember when she first told me a couple of weeks ago.  She looked so vibrant and strong, like every pore in her body was buzzing to live while she was explaining to me exactly what her latest healing opportunity was.  We spoke for maybe 20 minutes and she described everthing to me, i have no idea what she said, she lost me at cancer.  After that it was kind of a blur, I think I was just in shock.  This vibrant woman in front of me who has been my friend has just told me she has cancer, and she is going to live but first she has to go through a long journey of kemo and healing.  I didn’t catch all of the medical parts but I did believe her with a huge amount of clarity that she would be ok.  So this blog entry is about being ok.  Ok for her, Ok for her family, and Ok for our community.  So I’m going to focus on the Ok and have found some friends to help me along the way.  There will be a site up soon that will explain how this fundraising spectacular is going to work with some help from my friends – Nina Brav am amazing L A photographer who is my personal hero -she started Start a revo and Alyssa McNees and Jennifer Rea from Exquisite Weddings Magazine who have taken san diego by storm with a wonderful magazine and have won my heart over with all that they do to build san diego’s wedding community. Here goes..   a journey to ok   www.startarevo.org/weddings

a local san diego, friend, florist, and mom

You can view her journey at http://blog.cre8love.com

You can view more of  peggi’s work at her site   and belowI’m filled with hope that the community will surround peggi with support and that we all will be stronger because of it. I’m hopeful that there will be plenty of joyous family portraits to follow.  So check out Peggi’s blog and I’ll keep you updated about this amazing project to come.

The Style Lab Ladies Chenin Boutwell + Jocey + Amy of The Wedding Chicks fame were so much fun!  I had a great time at their workshop last week.  Doug Boutwell of Totally Rad Actions even gave us some post processing tips!
