My fiance and I spent the majority of our first 2 years together at the movies, every weekend. Our first date was to see Garden State at the Harkins Camelview, the same place he put my ring around a soda straw and proposed to me 4 years later.<div><br /></div><div>I really love fun, creative engagement shoots. I'm not that great at posing but really like being silly for pictures. This idea just got me so excited!</div><div><br /></div><div>After our meeting with Rachel, I immediately ran home and googled movie theatre engagements and found these great photos from <a href="http://www.melissajill.net/">Melissa Jill Photography</a> and <a href="http://www.f8studio.com/blog/">f8studio.</a></div><br /><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitFChbX_aZW0-lP2o1iFVeQ_A3UYxrvi0YkICDAcoBnPhZPwZgQTbMKE-PCnfeetObE4NGrsHicQSEBefS4322nPzx3s1sTMhcRSFDDc1ASs3jJmLHEXW4JOmonFWORHS8UNPvkCVxH81s/s1600-h/ACF9B65.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 217px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitFChbX_aZW0-lP2o1iFVeQ_A3UYxrvi0YkICDAcoBnPhZPwZgQTbMKE-PCnfeetObE4NGrsHicQSEBefS4322nPzx3s1sTMhcRSFDDc1ASs3jJmLHEXW4JOmonFWORHS8UNPvkCVxH81s/s320/ACF9B65.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312523344633420386" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrA3phEfDU1VeNZh-R7vU2eGPJTllh8c5bbplDJa_wplWCZGv-GiYRNwKw7ZetyC-2SWlLFKt5HzJ1yDTiy002JIVMOMEV0Tqgb4lqHGS0RJBShfTask-KPf8ODwHhKxqKSY629cKzSJim/s1600-h/movie-theater.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrA3phEfDU1VeNZh-R7vU2eGPJTllh8c5bbplDJa_wplWCZGv-GiYRNwKw7ZetyC-2SWlLFKt5HzJ1yDTiy002JIVMOMEV0Tqgb4lqHGS0RJBShfTask-KPf8ODwHhKxqKSY629cKzSJim/s320/movie-theater.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312523540313894210" /></a>Now don't think it's a simple task to have photos taken in a theatre. Our original plan was to just get kicked out but we decided to go the more "adult" route and call the theatre to ask permission. They then directed us to the corporate HQ who gave us permission but then had to have the theatre call us back with arrangements. WHEW, quite a feat but at least it won't be as stressful as us having to shoot and run! The downside....waking up REALLY early in the morning and trying to look beautiful :)</div><div><br /></div><div>My next great idea...incorporating scrabble into my photos!</div><div><br /></div>Studio529http://www.blogger.com/profile/07096334970812944708noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791021465460487860.post-80140777235217751792009-03-01T11:11:00.006-07:002009-03-01T12:08:40.924-07:00Green With EnvyI'm on an ultimate quest to find an adorable pair of green shoes to wear for my wedding.

I know it sounds crazy but in my first meeting with <a href="http://www.priddyphoto.com/blog/">Rachel Priddy</a>, my amazing photographer, as she was telling us about herself and her style of photography she mentioned that the one thing she always wanted to shoot was a pair of green shoes at a wedding. How random is that? And completely bizarre that we had only just met and I had yet to tell her about my love of green shoes!</div><div><br /></div><div>The other shoe problem I'm having, other than the green issue, is that I absolutely have no skill for walking in heels. I don't know what it is, I just can't do it. Top that with the fact that I'm only 5' tall so flat shoes are a bit ridiculous with a wedding dress and the fact that Im getting married on a farm in dirt which presents a whole new challenge, I'm thinking I should just go barefoot.

My now fiance and I went there for breakfast one Sunday morning and immediately fell in love. It is so quaint and reminds me a lot of Pennsylvania where I'm from. Long before we were ever engaged we had already planned our wedding at the Farm.

I absolutely love their egg salad sandwich for lunch and the Morning Glory cafe offers the most delicious Monte Cristo (a french toast sandwich loaded with ham, eggs, cheese and warm syrup).</div><div><br /></div><div>Weddings at the Farm are exclusively catered by <a href="http://www.santabarbaracatering.com/">Santa Barbara Catering</a>, voted one of the best caterers in Phoenix by <a href="http://www.arizonabridemag.com/">Arizona Bride Magazine</a>. We attended a tasting and WOW was the food amazing. From the fresh baked bread to the Rosemary Lemon Chicken Breast, every bite melts in your mouth and to top it off, is very reasonably priced.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, we are set for November 14, 2009, a beautiful outdoor fall wedding in Arizona.

It's a tough time to be planning a wedding, getting your hopes up for something spectacular and then worrying that something isn't going to pan out. I was among the fortunate ones who got to keep my job...for today. Who knows what will happen in the future. <br /><br />One of my co-workers said something that touched me and made me feel a bit better about things so I thought I'd share. <br /><br />During troubled times people look forward to things that bring them hope and excitement, which is what weddings do. Whether you have your wedding at a big beautiful place or in your own backyard it is a celebration of love and makes people feel good.

Before leaving your destination, mail the postcards to your home so when you get there you can read through all the fond memories your guests had from your trip together and have them all postmarked from your destination.</div><div><br /></div><div>I've yet to think about how to display them once you get home but Im sure there are many creative ways to do so and will update once I think of them.</div><div><br /></div><div>For another guest book idea, take a peek at this accordion fold guest book I put together for a couple who were married in Playa del Carmen, MX.</div><br><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGLhGNU1IcMt8C6Jru-O0_SlLk3ktGhRYGQ-0ku-vFG1Be4bEVzXKY0nC866BhzD4-hJBw9nJotewgzXg-Gys83MFA6DwZIIGt-9vg_V1ZZgiXkQS4Z4dqrGkeSGCAGra0FNGPLGWGONe3/s1600-h/il_430xN.37945189.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGLhGNU1IcMt8C6Jru-O0_SlLk3ktGhRYGQ-0ku-vFG1Be4bEVzXKY0nC866BhzD4-hJBw9nJotewgzXg-Gys83MFA6DwZIIGt-9vg_V1ZZgiXkQS4Z4dqrGkeSGCAGra0FNGPLGWGONe3/s200/il_430xN.37945189.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268791521774237714" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWmcTQDXGAm3k5L3C6pqMdeFEWfzMuwOJAZHo9K9a8lQnJu04vAUoqRjvS2VXB3LUP90dcU1oB_7SI55s7WE0r9U50pInX0x7OzNJdHwLRF3OiWOLgFmvY54s-FhRcm44CeNT2Uz48DF_g/s1600-h/il_430xN.37945161.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 194px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWmcTQDXGAm3k5L3C6pqMdeFEWfzMuwOJAZHo9K9a8lQnJu04vAUoqRjvS2VXB3LUP90dcU1oB_7SI55s7WE0r9U50pInX0x7OzNJdHwLRF3OiWOLgFmvY54s-FhRcm44CeNT2Uz48DF_g/s200/il_430xN.37945161.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268791518583161714" /></a>Studio529http://www.blogger.com/profile/07096334970812944708noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791021465460487860.post-10554708698277703322008-11-10T20:24:00.006-07:002009-02-08T18:17:06.189-07:00At Last...It is FINALLY my turn to get married.

The locations and themes always inspire me to do my best work.<div><br /></div><div>The weekend of October 25, Carson Gardner and Robert Bailey were married at the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. I had the pleasure of working on the bridal shower invitations as well as some of the poker themed accessories for their big day. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The shower took place at Olive and Ivy, a restaurant on the Scottsdale Waterfront in Scottsdale, AZ. The theme - Breakfast at Tiffany's.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmLSf1etdvrRfbNS4aoeKi7-yiENd0yUTSI3N_GzvS39Mm9VeaCjHHrboh8Ho7HzWDEHcxFyTGOpquMD626aAygOkv1u-Ry2AM9xF18zeIw9NOU5EImnamDgUGhlVhyRoQfue9IO-8A7XY/s1600-h/il_fullxfull.38169414.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmLSf1etdvrRfbNS4aoeKi7-yiENd0yUTSI3N_GzvS39Mm9VeaCjHHrboh8Ho7HzWDEHcxFyTGOpquMD626aAygOkv1u-Ry2AM9xF18zeIw9NOU5EImnamDgUGhlVhyRoQfue9IO-8A7XY/s320/il_fullxfull.38169414.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266416669750844274" /></a><br /></div><div>You're invited to a party, dahling....</div><div><br /></div><div>The white satin bow and rhinestone bling really made these invites a hit. The bride told me she got several calls from guests raving over them. They really set the tone for the rest of the shower. To top off this bride to be's special day, guests enjoyed a Tiffany box cake from <a href="http://simplysweetsaz.blogspot.com/">Simply Sweets</a> in North Phoenix, AZ while watching Breakfast at Tiffany's on the big screen.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now on to the wedding accessories...</div><div><br /></div><div>The bride and groom wanted to tie in the vegas theme but without being too cliche. Also being BIG Arizona State Sun Devils football fans, they wanted to incorporate something that represented the Sun Devils but without it being so in your face.</div><div><br /></div><div>The first project was escort cards. I created these poker sized playing cards in pink and brown tones with the Arizona State Sun Devil pitchfork patterned on the back. I was so excited about the final outcome of the cards. They really had the feeling of a real playing card. The cards on the tables were an oversized version of the escort cards.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF7HmH3-rxG3sEhXEG6JyFhiISDzSJHw-txZ86wft10YsGZduv7zj886CQ3tH1xyXVJRi9uirK6GHzqZD6j-GgKchOgWwRdVVgWjm2tw3PGKisLNXR4V0GX6FEuGD5La2pcPKon-9eXybI/s1600-h/DSC00950.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF7HmH3-rxG3sEhXEG6JyFhiISDzSJHw-txZ86wft10YsGZduv7zj886CQ3tH1xyXVJRi9uirK6GHzqZD6j-GgKchOgWwRdVVgWjm2tw3PGKisLNXR4V0GX6FEuGD5La2pcPKon-9eXybI/s320/DSC00950.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266717270559684706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgySUw1S42Hgw__TDnrLg_MtlFjpq4lfn5PfWTOMEHxLUpXnmi-WCHU5nN1P2feUw5d2Hx20Nc7Cf-G5YFMlh5r0_kPKQqK0WiJBPLodjpSJcXPz9mtX8AoMID-UmFXIbDey6LtL8dGpqdk/s1600-h/DSC00881.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgySUw1S42Hgw__TDnrLg_MtlFjpq4lfn5PfWTOMEHxLUpXnmi-WCHU5nN1P2feUw5d2Hx20Nc7Cf-G5YFMlh5r0_kPKQqK0WiJBPLodjpSJcXPz9mtX8AoMID-UmFXIbDey6LtL8dGpqdk/s320/DSC00881.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266717270295124626" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWv9umbnhA23sdn5MvmA26yy05xzkDRAQEoyw8FQNndALhuS1nuqHymJO68PmAVcdQQ1wI1A_NSZmIUtB-qp6B3bNVtOefmSvkzhyphenhyphenZNo_swrWYPxboio4iS7rCym7_aSnzt0-ORuBlE7d8/s1600-h/DSC00923.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWv9umbnhA23sdn5MvmA26yy05xzkDRAQEoyw8FQNndALhuS1nuqHymJO68PmAVcdQQ1wI1A_NSZmIUtB-qp6B3bNVtOefmSvkzhyphenhyphenZNo_swrWYPxboio4iS7rCym7_aSnzt0-ORuBlE7d8/s320/DSC00923.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266717266717592514" /></a></div><div>I also created the tags for these gable boxes.
