The Wedding Pantry |Grand Opening|

On Saturday it was The Wedding Pantry's grand opening and I had the honor of documenting it's first hours of business. My good friend and colleague, Eva Chiou, is the mastermind behind The Wedding Pantry and I am so excited to see what the future holds for her and her store. And on top of her new store, Eva is part of Utterly Engaged, the first ever online wedding magazine and ran a very successful event planning business. Can you say superwoman?

For all the brides out there, you must stop by and check out all the accessories and inspiration The Wedding Pantry has to offer. And the coolest and most unique part of The Wedding Pantry is that it offers space for wedding vendors to come in and hold their client meetings! How awesome is that?! A place for vendors AND brides. Genius! ;)

The day couldn't have gone smoother and was filled with lots and lots of support and love from the wedding industry and most important of all customers! :)

Mary of Jay's Catering blessed the opening with some seriously awesome food and treats that I STILL can't get out of my head.

Congrats again, Eva! The place looks amazing and can't wait to hold client meetings there!

My first experience with macarons was in Paris and it was not good. I swore off all macarons but decided to try the ones Mary brought... cuz everything deserves a 2nd chance. :) OMG. They were so good. Can't believe I didn't give macarons a 2nd chance sooner!!!

Fan Page & Sneak Peek!

WOW. Where does the time go? Can't believe it's almost May! LoL. I'm half watching/listening to The Office as I'm writing this post and I got sidetracked. That show is hilarious. I seriously have a major crush on Rainn Wilson. I LOVED the first & second season and was so sad season 1 only had 6 episodes. And now since I'm all caught up on The Office, any other shows I should watch?

Last week, I got to be part of an amazing shoot at The Condor's Nest Ranch in the city of Pala. A gorgeous ranch, beautiful models and getting together with my photographer friends. It couldn't have been more fun. Besides the rain. Boo. But everyone, especially the models rocked it so it was all good. :) AND! All of us shot in film so stay tuned for all my film images from the day and all the vendors involved. But here are a few favs I got on my digital camera for a sneak peek!

Also, I started a fanpage on facebook so head on over if you'd like to be a fan. :) Whoo hoo!
