This past Wednesday night I headed to the local Santa Barbara Female Entrepreneurs meetup. Some months I'm available to attend and some months I'm out of town, but when I'm in town I always make sure to go...we talk, we laugh, we eat and we drink. So fun! I actually blogged about SBFE when I first started my blog and you can visit that post HERE. This month, our gathering was held at Kristin's new space for her business: The Grapeseed Company. Being a wine fan, I love the backbone of her business: Kristin creates eco-friendly, vinotherapy skin and personal care products from natural ingredients such as grapeseeds that have been discarded by local wine growers! Talk about eco-friendly :) Her store has the most amazing scents and I can't wait to attend her grand opening this Saturday!!





Kristin's awesome storefront!





Doggie products!

Kristin also has a self scent bar where you can create your own scents and she has a baby line!

If you're in town, be sure to stop by on Saturday for the grand opening! Happy Friday :)

This has been a low-key, steady tempo week filled with editing and networking meetings, dog walks and sweatshirts (yes, don't hate-it may be 100+ degrees where you are, but it's chilly where I am!). For the resource room this week, I am sharing none other than the Southern Weddings daily blog. Southern Weddings also has a publication that is AH-mazing! Be sure to check both the blog and the magazine out!!


Check back tomorrow :) Happy Thursday!

This past weekend I documented an oh-so-gorgeous wedding at the Granada Theater in Santa Barbara...here is a quick sneak peek of the adorable bride and groom :)



Diarmuid and Chrissy's wedding was so amazing and I can't wait to share more of it...in the meantime, please visit their custom wedding website that I created for them. I like to do something special for all my clients and I think this website is a great way to take one task off of a soon-to-be-bride's to do list. Please CLICK HERE to view their site...wedding photographs will be added soon!

Happy Monday!

Chrissy and Diarmuid have such a great story it just has to be told. Diarmuid is from Ireland and Chrissy, born and raised in Boston, has since traveled the country and the world studying. On a study abroad trip to Ireland, she met Diarmuid at a pub. The love that unfolded between them in the small amount of time that Chrissy was in Ireland was so great that only a few years later Diarmuid followed Chrissy to the states. :) I can't wait for their wedding!!






We started their engagement session on the beach right next to the Santa Monica Pier...

Then we walked along the park above the beach, where Chrissy and Diarmuid had one of their first dates in America...

Gorgeous...

Diarmuid kept us laughing the entire time :)



I created a slideshow for Chrissy and Diarmuid, please CLICK HERE to view it!! (takes just a moment to load!)
Happy Friday!!
