Chris & Erin Austin are so very Haute!!
When this duo asked me to provide floral bouquets for a group of photographers gathering to shoot at the
botanical gardens & historical site of Mermaid Mountain-
I was ecstatic. This property has a very impressive clientele listing: Glamour Magazine, Pottery Barn, CBS, Calvin Klein, Vanity Fair Magazine, Disney, Inside Weddings, Paramount Studios, Vogue.....just to name a few- blatant name dropper! check out their superb work....

elements of a wedding....

June brides are so very sweet....and particularly Sarah.
Sarah & Micheal were married yesterday at The Hotel Del Coronado in a flood of pink & peach roses. Even with the weather threatening to shower this didn't put a damper on the fun & laughter.

bouquet, bouquets, and more bouquets....

WEDDING SEASON IS IN FULL SWING!!!!....it started quietly, I had ideas of lazy days catching up with paperwork & projects...... I so looked forward to collecting images, posting of past weddings & events....so many fantastic images of stunning brides and ballrooms filled with overflowing floralscapes......Well, that time was never had with event after event....
So- let's just get to the images and I'll try and stay on top of the craziness...
ENJOY....
