I have a couple of great websites and resources to share today...so let's cut the sugar-coating and get right down to business!  ;)

Brides:

I found this link in my Twitter feed the other day and found this article very interesting and helpful...it's written by none other than Colin Cowie of Colin Cowie Events.  CLICK HERE to read Colin's article on the most important part of your ceremony: the altar!  

And as always, I like to supply a screen shot so you can see what I'm talking about:

Photographers:

I actually have two today...I've already mentioned Sage Wedding Pros before on the Resource Room but Michelle just re-launched Sage Wedding Pros on a fabulous new blog, so  if you haven't seen it be sure to go read her helpful business articles and leave her some comment-love!!!

And last but not least, Strategy Avenue!  If you haven't heard of Strategy Avenue, you're so missing out.  Laura Novak (one of my favorite photographers), started Strategy Avenue and her blog lists business tips and ideas.  Laura also offers Strategy Avenue business plans, which I purchased, and can tell you that it was super beneficial in writing your business plan. GO HERE to check it out  :)

Earlier this summer, I had the privilege to second shoot with Chelsea Elizabeth...Chelsea is based down in Thousand Oaks and shoots all over southern California.  Chelsea is pretty awesome because she's a great photographer and well, we have the same middle name :)

Thanks Chelsea for letting me help out at this gorgeous Santa Ynez wedding!

A few weekends ago I had the privilege of second shooting for Nathan Wauk, who is out of LA.  As I've said before, I just LOVE to second shoot...it's such a great experience to work with different photographers, see new venues and be exposed to different approaches :)  This wedding took place at the ever-so-gorgeous Calamigos Ranch in Malibu...the grounds were immaculate and the staff was such a pleasure to work with.

This is a gorgeous wedding that I assisted with back in July....enjoy the images!!!

Lyndsey and Erik had the most gorgeous wedding this past Saturday at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara.  They had a brunch reception, which was so fantastic...breakfast food and mimosas...YUM!!  Ariel Yve coordinated the entire event so be prepared to view tons of details!!  It was an absolute pleasure to work at the Biltmore and with Ariel...everything ran so smoothly and on time and the events of the day were perfectly executed.

Enough chit-chat, take a peek at their wedding!  Brace yourself, this is a long post!


The Four Seasons Biltmore is simply stunning...beautiful flowers and foilage all over the grounds...

I shot an absolutely beautiful wedding yesterday and I can't wait to share the full blog post very, very soon!

But for now, just a little teaser :)  As my inner North Carolinian would say, I pretty much went "hog wild" shooting details yesterday!!


Happy Sunday!
