Caitlin and Adam’s Wedding at the Desert Botanical Gardens

Monday, November 7, 2011 logo Posted in Weddings

Caitlin and Adam’s wedding day was elegant, modern, romantic, and a perfect compliment to the desert surroundings. Heather from Outstanding Occasions coordinated their whole day and she was incredible to work with. I started the day at Caitlin’s mom’s house where she started getting ready:

Brooke did an amazing job with her make-up and I’m completely obsessed with the bow on the back of Caitlin’s wedding dress:

Her gorgeous flowers were by the always amazing Petal Pusher.

Love it when guys have fun details and Adam’s guitar cuff links were super fun!

After their first look we took some time to walk around the Botanical Gardens and take some portraits of the gorgeous couple:

Caitlin belongs on a runway:

The girls dresses and the guys ties are from J.Crew

Love the fact that Caitlin’s bridal party included just her two sisters: Adam’s sister, Hannah and Caitlin’s brother fiancee, Sofia.

The guys looking super handsome:

I’ve shot four weddings at the Botanical Gardens and the ceremony took place in a different location each time. This gorgeous space is the Ullman Terrace:

Succulents are my favorites, so needless to stay I was in love with all their details.

Their super sweet desert table. The cake and cupcakes were by Butter & Me

Mike Mancini always knows how to get the party going:

And I will leave you with this image wondering what happened right after this moment:

Megan on her Wedding Day

logo Posted in Nutrition | Weddings

Just wanted to post a photo of my gorgeous friend Meg on her wedding day. You may have read about Meg on my blog before here and here. Although I ran out of time to actually post Meg’s food diaries, our grocery store tour, and follow up meetings, I documented it all with photos and may someday backtrack it and blog it all. In the meantime, I just wanted to say how proud I am of her and all of her hard work.
