Behind The Scenes with Pacific Weddings Magazine

The Pacific Weddings Magazine team collaborated with some uber-talented vendors and worked with photographers and stylists at their "The Edit" workshop. These are the shots from one of the photographers, Studio 3511 Photography. Very editorial, wouldn't you agree?

From the team: "the creative team at pacific weddings magazine came to the island of oahu for a 2 day affair filled with international photographers and the industry's leaders to share, laugh and learn together. we went on a few photo shoots with the amazing and uber-talented stephanie williams and they set up an amazing butterfly themed table with yvonne designs. it was great that these amazing women were able to take the time out, share their insights and help others in the industry learn and grow."

Cruising Mix with Dart DJ

I recently had the pleasure of meeting the great team behind Dart DJ. This super hip DJ company hails from LA, but they are opening up a branch in the San Francisco Bay Area! I always love meeting and working with creative companies that do things a little different in the name of creating the best experience for clients. 

Today we are sharing a Drive to Monterey Mix created by the team at Dart DJ. The songs on this mix are inspired by an imagined drive along the beautiful 1 freeway that ends on the sandy shores of Carmel By The Sea. We recommend playing it while driving 40-60 miles an hour, it's definitely a cruising mix so be safe out there people!

3 Years

3 years ago today 100 of our favorite people gathered together on a rainy day as we said our wedding vows. Though there were plenty of things that went wrong, it was still one of the best days of my life. 

I can not wait to see what the next 3 and the next 30 years brings us and this past 3 years has been nothing short of an adventure. Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband! 

All Wrapped Up - Foodie Edition

I'm kind of obsessed with wrapping up foods these days. I pretty much want to have all mini foods and wrap them all. I mean, aren't these wrapped foods just brilliant? This really is the extra mile when it comes to wedding details.
