I have to say I'm pretty excited that it's Thursday...because it's one day closer to the weekend and I am really excited about a wedding in Paso Robles this weekend :)

Today, for the resource room, I am sharing Snippet and Ink-Daily Wedding Inspiration.  I began following Snippet and Ink on Twitter awhile back and when I finally took a second to check out their adorable website I just loved it...be sure to look today because they have a really cute inspiration board up!

For my fellow colleagues, the Two Bright Lights website has just gone live this week and it looks uber promising.  Again, I found out about this through Twitter (I'm telling you Alice, it works!!  ;)  ) and they are apparently an online image sharing service and networking site...looks pretty awesome!  I'm all about the networking...you know what "they" say, your net work= your net worth.

This is a recent wedding that I second shot with Nathan Wauk (thanks Nathan!) down in Malibu at the ever so gorgeous Calamigos Ranch.  

Jessica and Andrew are such an adorable couple and their excitement throughout the day was literally contagious :)

Welcome to the 9th weekly edition of the resource room!  I can't believe I've already written nine of these things!  I love writing these posts because I find so much inspiration in others blogs and posts...and I'm always up for learning something new ;)

My bridal resource today that I would love to plug is actually one that I found from the Sage Wedding Pros blog.  I took one peek at this website and loved it!  Julianne of Julianne Smith wedding garters has some very, very cute garters on her website...if you're not married, you'll want to check this out and if you are married, well then, it will just make you want to get married again!  Here is the link to her blog.  Go check it out...super cute!

Our vacation is almost over (booo) but I'm excited to get back to my baby (my dog, Bear, of course!) and get back to work (I know, I'm such a loser ;) ).  Just wanted to post a few more images from our trip!



I gotta say, you know you've been lazy when the hardest thing you've done all week is to find a graceful way out of the hammock!

We woke up with the sunrise yesterday morning to go swimming with sharks (more on that later!) and isn't it just so gorgeous?!

A few shells we found while snorkeling...

Anndd how awesome are these little bags?  My sisters gave me one as part of my birthday gift and I love this little sucker!  It's called an Envirosax and it rolls up into this teeny, tiny little 3 inch roll.  Mike and I packed it for our trip and have used it as our beach bag, picking up sea shells bag, carrying snorkel gear bag and can we say snack bag?!  I LOVE this thing!  When at home, we use it at the farmer's market, etc, etc...I'm so about to get another one because they all have these cute different patterns :)

I was so flippin' excited when my brand new hipslip made it in time before our trip!  Since I travel so much, I'm always looking for the *best* way to transport gear, laptops etc and I was really annoyed by my old laptop bag.  The creators of Shootsac just came out with the brand new hipslip which I just love, love, love!  It was so easy going through the whole process of security and customs internationally...so thrilled to have this bag...isn't it the packaging so cute? not to mention the bag itself :)

Also, how cool is it that lululemon is getting a kids line!?  So awesome!

OK, so this post turned into more of a "my favorite things" deal, but that's ok!  I have been avoiding packing much to Mike's dismay and have been finding ways to procrastinate, such as doing a random photo shoot of my favorite objects in our room!  

Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day...happy Tuesday!

Mike and I have really been enjoying our vacation...nothing more relaxing than floating around in the warm, clear blue ocean and swimming with sharks, right?! :)




Here are a few images from our trip so far... (for all my photog friends, all these images are SOOC...sooo pretty here!)
