Wedding Planning Inspiration

Out of wedding planning ideas? At a loss for where to find affordable knick knacks for your favors? There are a handful of resources online to spark your creativity and help keep your full price payments to a minimum. Here are a few that I share with my couples:

Your wedding is a celebratory expression of who you and your partner are as a couple. The more personal you make it and the more people that you love that are involved in crafting it, the more intimate and meaningful it will be. Feel free to contact me for advice. I’ve been through this before!

Panty Party!

Every year around Valentine’s Day my girlfriends get together and throw a party to make sure everyone gets some love and attention. Each lady submits her lingerie sizes and preferences (e.g., yes boycut, no thongs), which are then assigned a number and given to another lady anonymously to buy for us. We are given the number, sizes and preferences of yet another lady. This culminates in an evening of food, drink, and dress up at Pretty Parlor, where they let you swing from the chandelier in your new panties. I’m super stoked because that evening is… sorry, it’s a secret!

I of course bring my camera to document the fun and no, I won’t tell you where the password protected photos are. I can, however, share these two of Erin and Carly. Erin unknowingly had Carly that year and gave her some Yoshimi designs; items from her clothing line. Carly had been lusting after Yoshimi (it’s sold at the Parlor) but didn’t know Erin personally. It was so much fun to watch these two connect for the first time. They were glued to each other the whole night and posted for a series of photos in their matching outfits.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my lovebirds out there! A perfect day to share some wedding photos from the low-light/hand-held master, Bradley Hanson. Robin and I were married October 19th of last year at Wallace Falls Lodge in Gold Bar, WA. The results were better than I could have imagined. All of our friends contributed in their own way; Erin Skipley of Bellatrix Studio painted me pretty, Carly Nicklaus from VAIN sculpted my tresses, Ruthie from Ruthie’s Uniform crafted the perfect dress for my busty bod and sweet siren Amy Blaschke sang us down the aisle with a Buffy Sainte-Marie song. So many others came early to set up, woke up early to tear down, spent weekends helping with decorations, making invitations (invaluable Andrea!) and drafting the ceremony and vows over dinners and coffee breaks (you know who=). We are indebted to all, thank you!

Autumn de Wilde

The Boston Globe has a piece on Autumn de Wilde up. Autumn has been an inspiration to me since coming across her photographs in an Eleni Mandell album 8 years ago. I’ve had the opportunity to assist her a handful of times on shoots in the Seattle and Portland area. We met backstage at a Death Cab for Cutie show in 2004 and two years later I got a call from Barsuk to assist with a Long Winters, followed by a Jesse Sykes shoot. Since then, I’ve been part of the crew for a shoot with the Decemberists and recently, the UK band Switches. Coming full circle, I was asked to assist on a Death Cab shoot this week but sadly couldn’t switch my schedule in time to make it work.

Makeup by Erin Skipley of Bellatrix Studio and styling assistance by Anna Lange of Pretty Parlor for all of the above. Shirley Kurata and Eden Batki (Autumn’s team from LA) were first stylist and assistant for the Decemberists shoot.
