Home is where ever there is a beautiful venue and that California sunshine. Let's talk about ceremony sites and what makes them breathtaking. The truth is, it's lighting. When looking at your venue, take a look at what the ceremony area looks like during the time you will be saying I DO. Even lighting is ideal.... Partial shade creates dreamy images. Having a stunning focal point never hurts. Things you want to avoid -- Dappled lighting. Avoid full sun directly in your face. Sunlight that only hits one side of your bridal party. Some venues will have set ceremony sites, and this is why selecting a venue carefully is essential. Ask to see past couples ceremonies in the season you're getting married in to make your decision. Source outside photos in different styles that have taken place at your venue, you can find these through planners, looking up your venues hashtags, and even Pinterest. But on a serious note, how many of you wouldn't love to walk down the aisle in front of this gorgeous mansion? . . . #engagementsession #contax645 #bayareaweddingphotographer #bridetobe #californiaweddingphotographer #closlachancewinery #destinationweddings #elopmentphotographer #fineartfilmphotographer #loveeloped #woodside #petitejoys #pursuepretty #sacramentoweddingphotographer #sanfranciscophotographer #sanfranciscoweddingphotographer #filoliwedding #soloverly #sonomawedding #sunstonewinery #thatsdarling #filoligardens #themapleseventcenter #weddingbouqet #weddingchicks #weddingflorals #weddinginspo #weddingphotographer #weddingstyle #filoli See more

Ever wonder how Pinterest perfect engagements happen? It starts with great planning, and it ends with a killer date night! Let’s face it. Most of us don’t have a personal stylist, and that’s okay! Collecting outfits that look straight out of a magazine is a lot easier than you think if you know what you’re looking for and where to look.

I have a whol...e Pinterest board (you can find at DM me and I’ll send you the links) with complementing colors that you can use as a guide. Texture looks amazing in photos and on film! Anytime you have the chance to use texture in dresses or a blouse, you won’t regret it. There are a few things you have to avoid. Okay, One thing you have to avoid. DON’T. WEAR. FLANNEL. OR. PLAID. I get it, it’s trendy, but it is not the best to photograph. You will look back and wonder why you did it three years from now. Instead, minimally use patterns. Some of the best places to shop for outfits Express Nordstrom Zara Free People Anthropology Vici Roolee Bohme Some of these are all on line but I love these because they are a little more unique than the generic outfits you find at A big box store.
