Hello friends,
Prepare yourself for some sweetness. I want to keep Alyssa in my pocket. She is someone you just love to be around and Drew is head over heels. They just fit together. Alyssa told me she wanted the wedding to feel like a romantic candle lit dinner where everyone felt welcome. Her designers made her dreams come true. I love how Cara designed this wedding and let each collaborator shine. I couldn’t pick a favorite part, I just loved how dreamy it was as a whole day. I felt really lucky to get to be a part of such a talented crew and loving family. Congrats to the beautiful couple!!
A La Valencia Wedding : Colleen and Kyle
Peonies, Palms, and Popsicles. Oh my.
I’ve been wanting to blog this gem forever. La Valencia is so beautiful and such a La Jolla landmark. I thought it was so rad that Colleen and Kyle wanted to bring all of their New York City guests to our charming part of the world. It felt like a quintessential destination wedding. Picture perfect.
Portraits of Rachel in Pacific Beach
“A photograph is a secret about a secret” is a famous quote from the also famous photographer Diane Arbus. Meeting Rachel is also like meeting someone who is both revealing and has such depth to her I can’t imagine how long it would take to truly know her. I always have the feeling with Rachel that I am both in on the secret and have barely scratched the surface. Rachel is one of our interns and I’ve loved every minute of getting to know her. She communicates with ease the most complex of emotions and I often find myself staring at her thinking “Who are you? You charming captivating puzzle. She is one of those people that my new age friends would say has lived many lifetimes and I hope that this lifetime falls at her feet.
Here are some of the images that I just love of one of our intern shoots. I had such an awesome time mentoring Rachel and Claudia.
Cheers to unexpected delights! Suzanne
