My logo...I really liked the logo I created earlier this year. However, I was having problems with the dye that was being used for my folders and albums. Mainly, though, I wanted to have all my branding the same. Since I LOVE calalilies (strange, because this flower seemed to cover my backyard when I was growing up, and was the flower I immensely disliked as a kid) I wanted to use that as my "signature". My gift certificates I offer to clients has a photo of a cala lily that I took, so I thought I'd carry out the trend with my logo.

Now, onto the important stuff~Lana and Matt's wedding!! I have been so excited about this day! Lana hired me back in January of last year (I think she was my first '08 bride). I really need to thank Lake Natoma Inn as well as my daughter, Cassie, for
I was so happy to be back at LNI (my sixth wedding in a row). With all the fires and smoke I was worried about what the day may hold for all of us. Actually, yesterday was the first day I had seen a patch of blue sky in a week. I think things are finallly beginning to clear up a tiny bit! Although the smoke is very unhealthy and the reason for the smoke is devistating, I guess if you could look for an upside, it is that it creates some soft filtered light which is great for the photographs.
When I photograph a wedding like I did yesterday I am so thankful! The wedding party was wonderful, the families were amazing, the location was perfect (as usual) and it was just one of those days where everything "clicked"! I know Lana and Matt were trying to decide what sort of cake they wanted and the mom of one of their groomsmen offered to bake it. I hear it was her first attempt at a wedding cake. I have to admit, I have had bakery cakes that were not as good as this one!! Part of the struggle Lana and Matt had with the cake was that Lana doesn't really like cake that much, so they couldn't see spending a thousand or two on something that wasn't as important to them. Lana finally said "I do like funfetti"...you know the cake...Betty Crocker?! It was DELICIOUS!!!!
Thank you, Lana and Matt, for making the day so much fun! Also, thank you for the gift. It was totally unexpected, but SO MUCH appreciated!!! I'm saving it for when Ali comes home this week and we're going to enjoy it with our friends when they come for dinner on Thursday evening. I can't wait for you to see the slideshow and how beautiful this couple is! By the way, a couple of weeks ago Ali told me about the song I decided to use for their show. When I heard it for the first time I said to myself "I'm using this song for Lana and Matt". It just seems to fit them perfectly and wanted them to be the first couple I introduced it with! Leave them lots of comments so when they get home from the Bahamas they can relive the day all over again!
