Take this Advice

You just got engaged! Congratulations! Enjoy this time, it goes by really fast. Take those first few weeks to really soak up all of the joy. I know that vendors book up fast, but give yourself a little time to just be with your significant other. Don’t be afraid to take things step by step. I was engaged for a year and a half and I can personally say that having that time was so nice. We got to really be present in each part of the planning process and we weren’t overcome by the stress of rushing things. ~Kasey Gilsbach/Photographer

Extra Special Details

This was one of those weddings that were filled with emotions. As a photographer, weddings do not have the same affect on me like they did when I was a guest. It always makes me smile when a wedding can choke me up and this was one of them! Their friends and family were so close to each other and they made us feel like friends after capturing the day.

Tips From The Photographer

I like to tell couples to plan for everything they think will be important on the day. Go crazy… micromanage.. be unreasonable if you wish. When it comes to the wedding day you need to let it all go. Accept that things will not happen as you imagine. Everything will happen as its meant to be and people reactions to “changes” will all depend on how you react!

Simple and Sentimental Beach Wedding

By Chie

Simple, sweet, sentimental, and beautiful. I love it when weddings capture the meaning of these four words. We totally adore details and decors as much as the next bride but at the end of the day, weddings are only supposed to be a part, albeit a big one, of a wonderful relationship not the culminating event of it. So I am very captivated by Kevin and Gina’s special day. The details were simple but striking. But what I love the most is that this was not just a wedding of two loving people, but the marriage of one complete and happy family. Their children were their entourage and it’s such a great idea that they let them be a part of the sand ceremony. Congratulations to this beautiful family!

Photographer:

Although the Hotel Del Coronado is always beautiful, it’s not every day that it looks like a tropical island somewhere in the Bahamas! The wedding featured today was just such a day…absolutely magical with almost white sand beaches and gorgeous clear blue skies dotted with wispy cloudys. Gina and Kevin were a really special couple. I was touched by their kindness and loving hearts that showed in the way the treated everyone. Susanne Duffy of Crown Wedding coordinated this beautiful event and the decor was unique, vibrant, elegant, and everything a bride could dream of for one of the most important days of her life! Susanne worked with Emily Smiley of Platinum Pro on the florals and overall look of the beach wedding and the visual collaboration was vibrant and unique with lot’s of unexpected details and texture like driftwood paired with lanterns and succulents paired with bright pink and purple flowers!

Miami Skyline Wedding

By Chie

We barely got a beach shot from this wedding but we definitely don’t mind because that Miami skyline is just amazing. It just goes to show how Miami perfected the mixture of “urban lifestyle” and “beach relaxation”. Just like how this wedding smoothly combined formal and fun from the looks of the ceremony and the reception. Look out for the dance floor pictures where you can almost hear the music’s beat and feel the rave vibe from their guest. But what you really shouldn’t miss from this feature is how how the photographer captured our groom’s emotions when his bride walked down the aisle – that shot is truly incomparable. Congratulations to our couple, Bianca & Alex!

Photographer:
Bianca and Alex’s elegant wedding took place at The Rusty Pelican, a historic Miami restaurant overlooking Biscayne Bay in Miami, Florida. Bianca chose a modern, chic color palette of ivory and white with hints of silver. Extremely elegant and pretty! Our two top wedding photographers worked together to capture this gorgeous event and we’re so pleased with the results. The lighting was especially lovely for a Summer wedding in South Florida! And of course the view of the Miami skyline after the sun sets is stunning from the floor-to-ceiling windows of The Rusty Pelican’s ballroom.

Ferris Wheel by the Beach – Engagement Shoot

By Chie

Is it a date? Is it a photo shoot? It’s both and it’s such a romantic and fun take on an engagement photo session. The ferris wheel ride reminds us of those happy-go-lucky times of young love. Everything is beneath them and they just have to enjoy the view and the company from way up there. Then the walk on the beach caps off the day sweetly – holding hands with the love of your life and just getting sand between your toes while you talk about anything about life. Enjoy this feature guys because we sure did! What a lovely way to start our month right? Congratulations Jill & Mike!

Photographer:

These two are seriously the cutest. Mike and Jill met in Las Vegas when they were both on trips with their friends. I guess what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas! When Jill and I discussed ideas for their engagement session, she loved the idea of keeping it casual and just doing a fun date at Balboa Island in Newport Beach. We rode the Ferris Wheel, walked around, and just had a blast hanging out. I love this pier. They have some seriously delicious Gyros and a lot of fun things for couples and families. We ended the session on the beach, right before sunset. Mike and Jill was so playful and in love- it made for some amazing shots to end the day with.
