I am a lover of beautiful paper (& cool pens), clean lines, modern design and out-of-the-box thinking. Retro. Funky. Cheeky. When I stumbled across the San Francisco based company Minted a couple of years ago, I felt like it was made for me. (Love that feeling.) But then I discovered that somehow it nails the personal style of everyone... but without looking cluttered, disjointed or the worst: everything but the kitchen sink-esque. On top of all this goodness, they use independent lines, untapped talent and are community & environmentally minded. Whoa. Love.

A few days ago I heard some sweet news from Minted and am thrilled to share that a bunch of my images are on their site and are being used as inspiration for their Design Challenges. (Check out a few of Amanda+Luke, Megan+Chris & Tammy+Mark below.) Additionally, Kym+Will's save-the-date was their favorite of the past couple of months and received a generous feature on their homepage.


Thanks so much Minted! Check out some of their new Christmas/Holiday Cards and wedding invitations. I love their work. And that paper...oooo.

I am in awe of Deena & Joe. It's not just that they planned a beautiful CA wedding from the UK (with unique details like birdhouse centerpieces, backyard pine cones in mason jars, lucky pennies from the US & UK & vintage drawers from flea markets)-- it's their awestruck connection, incredible way with family & friends, brilliant vision & creativity, heartfelt expressions & gestures. I could go on and on. It was one of those days when all that could be heard from behind my camera was "are you kidding me??" over and over again. They are gorgeous.

Thanks to Project Wedding for featuring this wedding!

A few weeks before their wedding (which is this weekend!) at Arista Winery, Meredith, Bryan & I spent some time in their adorable neighborhood. Basically we strolled, laughed, froze and lamented the quick passing of our one summer heat wave. All this ease illustrated how warm and incredibly kind these two lovelies are and how they compliment each other so well. They fit like a glove and feel like old friends.

Beltane Ranch weddings are magical, but Jodie & James really brought it to life. Even in its quietest moments, there is a palpable pulse of deep beauty here--you feel it. But when this amazing place is coupled with passion, pure & deep love, amazement in the eyes of two people in love committing to each other and everyone celebrating these qualities: Beltane soars.
