Peacock inspired wedding in Florida

Hello dear blog readers! I’ve missed you!
I have been visiting my husband’s family in Florida. We made the trip to attend his cousins wedding. I actually got to be a guest at a wedding!!!! Of course I couldn’t help myself and snapped some photographs.
My husband’s cousin is Jessica. Jessica and Nick got married last weekend in Jacksonville Florida at St Johns Greek Orthodox church…the very same place HER mother and father got married years before.
How cool!

The wedding was peacock feather inspired and I absolutely ADORED it! The bridesmaids wore black dresses accented with peacock feathers and jewelry that Jessica made for them. Jessica is an entrepeneur in her own right. She writes a blog called “Dear Georgette” and it showcases the beautiful jewelry that she makes.

The wedding reception took place at the Alltel Stadium where the Jacksonville Jaguars play!
I am a detail fanatic and was so excited when I saw the beautiful room coordinated by Christina Kreations.

My favorite cupcakes (w/ blue flower)…they were carrot cake and half of it was frosting. YUM!

Reception ideas for brides

Last month I had the chance to attend The Special Event Show here in San Diego.
The Special Event show is a convention where hundreds of vendors displayed the newest décor and special event related trends and ideas for industry professionals.
I thought I would share with all of the brides-to-be that check out my blog. Maybe you can get some inspiration!

You will notice that some of the ideas are over-the-top and may be out of your budget. I know if you are anything like me, a do-it-yourself’er (is that a word?), you can easily find a way to duplicate the ideas and modify to your taste at a fraction of the cost.:)

The covered chairs impressed me the most. It looked like the chairs were wearing dresses!

Wedding Wire’s Brides Choice 2009! Wahoo!

“In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds (brides and grooms) through surveys and reviews.”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

I just wanted to send a huge shout out to all of my past brides this year! I just found out today, that elle g photography and a few others, were selected as Brides Choice 2009!

I wouldn’t even have this amazing career if it weren’t for all of my wonderful clients!!!! Not to mention, these awesome brides taking time out of their day to say something nice about me! It’s just so sweet! It is truely an honor to photograph a wedding…and quite fun I must say! So thank you thank you….from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!! I just love making people happy:)

From the desk of Ross… Free Southwest tickets

Hello all!
My name is Ross, I’m Lisa’s husband.
Lately, I have been trying to help Lisa with her photography business. I’ve been out of work for a while and figured she could use a free assistant! Anyway, she suggested that we should shoot some pictures of downtown San Diego, but her real motivation was to try and find the Southwest airlines representatives that were giving away free airline tickets!!! Ann Pasquini turned us on to this little nugget of information. Thanks Ann!!!
We figured it would be a long shot because downtown is very big, but SOMEHOW we ran into a group of Southwest airline employees on 5th and G street! I offered to take pictures of them and they offered me free tickets if I would sing a song for them. After much coaxing, I sang “Old Mc Donald had a Farm”, plus they wanted me to name 3 cities Southwest flies into and incorporate it into the song. With a crowd watching me, I happily sang the song which included Oakland, Phoenix and Philadelphia into the lyrics. I won the tickets and we took a couple of group photos.

For being in the airline industry, the Southwest folks are the happiest people I have ever run across. They love their jobs and it shows. Thanks Southwest for the free tickets!!!!!

On the count of 3..sing with me now….

Here’s the fun part……
We would LOVE to share some of our good fortune! We also received a voucher for $25 off a round trip ticket on Southwest and a FREE drink coupon on that flight. Soooooo we are going to give these coupons to a randomly selected visitor that comments on this blog post!!!!!! Drawing will be held on Wednesday Feb 18th! Good Luck and thanks for visiting!!!
