Sitting with Sebastian

I've just popped in from the studio after making a sunny arrangement for today's photo shoot. I'm sitting here in bed while Sebastian plays with his fun stuffed flower (might as well get him started young). It's wintry and gray and my hands are all "jacked up" with tendonitis of sorts. The cold doesn't help. Russ is outside fixing the tire on his pick up truck which is literally on a car jack and looks quite red neck outside our front door. We came to the conclusion that perhaps this is where the expression "jacked-up" came from... if the shoe fits?

Thoughts on Weddings in the Arizona Desert

****************************

Here on a visit, I'm sitting at the dining room table in my brother's house outside of Phoenix working on wedding proposals while my almost two year old niece entertains the both of us with building blocks and balloons.

I'm thinking of the great chat I had with a wedding photographer I met last night and have been quite taken with weddings in the desert.

Staring out the window I see mountains, a strikingly crisp blue sky, and tones of sand and gray greens of eucalyptus and olive trees. How different our two worlds are!  And how fun it would be to have a wedding out here with such amazing light, and the sunsets!

Merri-MINT 2013

****************************

2013 brings with it the promise of mint as a beautiful base color for dresses, vases and any other wedding decor one can think of.

I adore this all mint bouquet  made with airplants, succulents, seeded eucalyptus and hydrangea- ooh!! I would love to create this for a bride or her bridesmaids this year!

A Woodsy June Affair

********* What a lovely pair! Jessica & Tim, both SCAD Photography graduates, celebrated their nuptials at the historic Ships of the Sea Museum paying homage to her family's naval past. The green ferns, succulents and purplish florals were the perfect cooling touch to a warm Savannah Saturday. Adding to the memories were the bride's family's collection of silver that were staggered in vignettes throughout the tables. Ever the artists, Jessica and Tim created gorgeous laser cut chandeliers and hanging embroidery hoops fitted with lace. Burlap runners trimmed with lace and delicate glass candlesticks and votives, mason jars for drinking tied the vintage affair together and a wonderful time was had by all. {photos: Molly Joseph Photography}
