A Brigatine Wedding for Rose and Matt
These two. Wow. Rose and Matt took their time getting to their wedding day. Life just kept bringing them back to each other. I loved that I was able to witness Matt watching Rose walk down the aisle. It was a long epic walk full of beauty. These two are consummate hosts, it was beautiful to watch how much they loved every person that stood with them by the sea in Del Mar. The getting ready room was full of laughter and long time friendship. I loved watching everything unfold. I could spend every Saturday with this crew. Everything was beautiful the decor and the love that was everywhere. Friends, it was amazing.

Photographing: lots of engagement sessions. Portraits are my jam. I had a fun time with Alyssa and Krystel in North Park. The murals and the neighborhood in general are inspiring. - Suzanne
Read moreThe $40,900 Question: Denise Jermyn-Continental Catering
We are pretty excited to have landed an interview with Denise Jermyn, the president of Continental Catering. We always have a good time working with Continental Catering, and we think it is about time you meet the lady who is behind it all. Thanks for sharing, Denise. 1. Are there any cocktail trends that you currently love?As a big coffee lover, I have to say that the addition of ‘java juice’ to cocktails is really resonating with me. Talk about taking something good and making it great!
2. What is your ideal picnic basket? My ideal picnic basket would have a really nice cheese course to start, a savory salmon salad to continue, and a chocolate and peanut butter confection to end on a sweet note.
3. What is something that people don’t know about you? Hmmm...most people don’t know that raw carrots make me hiccup.
4. What do you attribute your success to? Over the course of the years, we have developed lasting relationships with our clients. We don’t see our clients as another name on the calendar but rather as individuals that we have enjoyed getting to know. We are genuinely grateful to be a part of their special event, and I think this translates to the service that they receive.
5. A wedding tradition that you love to see? Even after 30 years in the business, the father-daughter dance is still very touching.
6. Best part of a wedding day? I like the moment that the bride and groom are able to see the reception site for the first time. After months of planning, they are finally able to see their vision come to life and that’s very exciting.
7. How do you unwind? I can’t think of a better way to unwind than with a glass of red wine in my hand and a piece of chocolate in my mouth.
8. Dessert you could never give up? The truth is that I love all things sweet so giving up dessert in general would be a challenge, but if I had to pick one it would be dark chocolate.
9. What would you do if you weren’t in the catering business? Oh gosh. I haven’t really given this much thought before. I think I would be a professional chocolate taster. Is there such a job?
10. If you had $40,900 to spend on one trip, where would you go and what would you do?
Anyone that knows me knows that I’m constantly chasing the sun so where ever I went would have to be a sunny location. Cinque Terre in Italy sounds really nice right now. It would be a challenge to spend that much money but I would probably spend it on amazing meals. I might walk into a quaint restaurant and invite some of the locals to dine with me. Actually, it might not be so hard to spend that money after all...
