Destination I Do Magazine spread

Okay now, really!!!!  Malibu, cheery bright colors and Kristie Kelly gowns...who can resist??!!  I had the best time with the best of the best vendors on this amazing shoot!  No one captures beauty like Braedon Flynn and the finishing touches by Beth Helmesetter were just swoon worthy! Big thanks to Be Inspired PR for coordinating the fun day!  It just made you want to lounge for hours and listen to the waves roll in!  If this amazing shoot doesn't get you in the mood for summer I'm not sure what will!!

Leila and Tony's Santa Barbara Love shoot

OMG!!! Gorgeous Leila, oh so handsome Tony, Santa Barbara and drum roll please....... ELIZABETH MESSINA!!!!!! She is my all time favorite! Her work just breaths! I know it's a little over the top to say that but she is incredible!!! She is a celebrity photographer and most recently shot the vow renewal of the fabulous Tori Spelling! Leila is the owner and PR guru of Be Inspired PR and my totally favorite wedding blog Inspired By This. I had the pleasure of working with her on many of her pre-wedding events and her big day!

Private Chefs of Beverly Hills

My fabulous friend and woman behind Be Inspired PR,Leila Khalil and the awesome wedding planner Mary Dann, just published their first book Wedding Wisdom! In celebration of the book release they gathered all the contributors of the book together for a little dinner party! And when I say little dinner party I lie!!! It was a FABULOUS dinner party complete with private chefs from Big City Chefs and stars of the new Food Network show Private Chefs of Beverly Hills. So long story short, their fabulous little party was featured on the show!!!!!!!! Leila and Mary needed dolling up and they picked me!!!!!! I was sooo excited!!!! It was an awesome day and I was so proud to see the women look fabulous as they strutted their stuff on the show that aired this past week!!!!
