Engagement Photography at the Santa Rosa Plateau

Capturing great engagement photographs takes hard work and sacrifice, and I'm not just talking about for the photographer. During this session of engagement photography in Temecula at Santa Rosa Plateau, Matt and his Fiancé, Brittany, hiked with me for over 2 miles to create a collection of engagement images! Their engagement and wedding photographs are important to them and they understand what it takes for great photography; patience, energy and passion!

Matt and Brittany have known each other since before high school, yeah! This was obvious during the photo session, they both knew how to make each other smile and what ! At one point we were trying to create some more serious photographs and they both couldn't stop smiling and laughing! :) They are both really easy-going and fun-loving, and it was a pleasure getting to photograph their engagement session.

    The Santa Rosa Plateau is a gorgeous setting for a lifestyle photography session. Whether you are interested in having an engagement, family, or HS Senior Photography session, please feel free to inquire about rates and availability.

Ian + Chandra: San Diego Engagement Session

Photographs should be memorable. Choosing a location that is already close to your heart is a great first step. Add in two amazing people that are truly in love... well you will see what I am getting at below. In short, you really cant go wrong with these ingredients!

This San Diego Engagement Session took place at Adam's Park in Valley Center. Wheres that? Good question!!! Its a small town in North County that I grew up in. Anywho, the park is very small so I think Ian and Chandra were really trusting that there was a method to my madness. And it just so happened that the local Boy Scouts were having an awards ceremony in the park, which made our photographic playing field even smaller! Ian and Chandra were great sports though and didn't mind at all. In fact, apparently this was the same troop Ian was apart of as a kid!
There wedding is taking place at another paradise of a different type, somewhere that is also very close to my heart, Quail Gardens! If you haven't been there, please head to Encinitas this weekend. It costs a few bucks to get in, but it is absolutely amazing, words just cant describe. My wedding was also here, so I am very excited about being a San Diego Wedding Photographer at Quail Gardens this summer!!!

Noves ulleres

En format petit per foto referència per als blocs propis, com a visualitzable a partir d´ara.

En imatge xica, que no es veuen? Jo a la web de les ulleres, tampoc les trobo, i això que està feta també en català!
Generalment, els que portem ulleres , ens fixem en d´altres que en porten o ens crida més l´atenció quan veiem algú que se les ha canviat. Doncs mira, un ha fetun cop de cap i aquí teniu amb les recentment estrenades. Per cert, curiosament són disseny català, i a la web de l´empresa, no apareixen, però els dissenys globals són suggerents:

Title: Els atracadors de Cambrils van entrar disfressats amb barba i bigoti postissos a les 8.44 h

Barcelona (ACN).- Els dos atracadors que van acabar matant la treballadora del Banco Santander de Cambrils van accedir a l'entitat bancària a les 8 hores i 44 minuts del dia 25, tal com ha quedat registrat en el rellotge de la càmera de seguretat de local. Les noves imatges a les quals ha tingut accés l'ACN mostren els presumptes homicides accedint a l'entitat bancària. El més alt apareix vestit amb americana negra, perruca i barba, possiblement postisses. El més baix porta una caçadora i amaga el rostre amb unes ulleres de pasta marrons, una gorra de beisbol blanca i bigoti. Aquest segon home apareix barrant el pas a una dona, probablement una client del banc que es va veure sorpresa en l'atracament.

Conquering the DIY Wedding Cake: The Beginning Steps

Whew!

How does anyone take a break from the wedding blog world?!

So many blog posts to catch up on! So many posts needed for this blog!

But I finally finished Weddingbee's updates, and that's the hardest part, in my opinion. (Those ladies know how to post! So many 0.o)

Anywhoo, a post that has been a long time in the making, the wedding cake.

DIY wedding cake.

A three-word phrase that almost every bride runs away screaming from. Baking cake the day before the wedding? Learning difficult pastry techniques? Not going to happen.

But I believe it can be done!

You just have to find the right fit for you.

All options however, have the same three elements in common:
1) a great cake recipe
2) cake decorating skills and techniques
3) prep work a couple days before the wedding

But not all of these elements have to be scary or difficult.

Finding a luscious cake flavor:

Now, everyone has different tastes when it comes to cake. Fluffy and moist is a good place to start, however I have found my family considers "moist" cake to be almost raw...and mushy. Not quite what I had in mind XP There are thousands of cake recipes and techniques out there. How's a girl to choose?!

Practice runs.

I know most are watching your waistlines, but the only tried-and-true way of finding the special concoction is to taste it. You only have to make one regular-sized 8-9in cake to taste it, and I'm sure you'll have family/friends/coworkers/etc who would love to take the rest off your hands if you're really worried :)

Also the practice runs will give you valuable information on how long it takes to make the recipe and how difficult it is to execute. If you have your heart set on a technically challenging cake, I recommend you recruit help, for the wedding cake AND at least one practice run, to make sure you have the team working together smoothly.

I plan on doing a fun winter cake to test my skills, so I will keep you posted on my cake recipe findings :)

Getting in touch with your inner Ace of Cakes:

No matter if your plans are cupcakes, buttercream cake, or a fondant masterpiece, you have to consider the fact that all of these need pastry skills. Know your limitations or take course to hone your skills!

Joann Fabrics, Michaels, and many other craft stores usually has Wilton cake decorating courses, which is the best way for the average bride-to-be to learn the pastry arts. If you look for special discounts and 40% off coupons for supplies, they can be more affordable. I highly recommend this if you have ANY DIY cake plans. So of course, I plan on taking these classes in the very near future, just need to check to see if it conflicts with the puppy's obedience school :)

At the very least, watch cake decorating shows on TV (there are TONS of them these days, and I adore them!) they do give out little tips here and there, plus you get to see masters at work, and I personally learn from example! Some recommend viewings are Ace of Cakes, Amazing Wedding Cakes (if you get the WE channel), Food Network Challenge (some are food, some are cake), Ultimate Cake Off or even Top Chef: Just Desserts if they have a cake episode.

My absolute favorite? Ace of Cakes!!! Total. cake. eye candy. :D :D :D

Cake Boss and Cupcake Wars are baking shows too but they're not my favorite. Too many other elements, not enough cake making.

I am extremely curious and excited to try a fondant cake, and I know I'm going to try this recipe, from Peggy Weaver's Baking Corner, which seems to be a very good source for wedding cake decorating and fondant tips and help. It is also mentioned that the taste of her marshmallow fondant is a bit better than other varieties! Tutorial to come!

Putting aside time for the cake...right before the wedding:

This is a fairly crucial element. Cakes can be done a little bit further in advance than, say, bouquets and boutonnieres (which should be done the day before or the day of), however if you don't have time 2 or 3 days before the wedding, the DIY route probably won't work for you. I personally would not let cake sit around for more than 3 days for such a special occasion.

Depending on the number of people you need to feed, it could take a good part of a day to construct your cake. The practice runs will help you calculate how much time is needed, but overall I would try your hardest to not make this a rushed process.

Time will be needed to transport and construct the cake the day of as well, whether it's putting tiers together or displaying cupcakes on their stands.

Well, I didn't say it wouldn't be time consuming XP

But for now, those are the beginning building blocks for a successful wedding cake: good recipes, some skills, time and planning.

Some of you may be thinking: "Errr...Sarah...you're not really helping". But wait! Hear me out. I have some clever ideas that make the whole thing a bit easier. And every bit helps right?

Title: Rob and Jessica: Conquering Europe

Rob and Jessica set out for the land of kings and queens for their honeymoon, exploring London, Amsterdam and Berlin. We opted to skip the beach honeymoon, since we'd already had so many ocean excursions this year and try something foreign. It was a trip of discovery, adventure and a bit of danger that we'll remember for a life time!

CONGRATULATION VICTORIA!!!!
http://pda.foto.no/cgi-bin/bilder/vis_bilde.cgi?id=533044&imageoffset=0&brukerid=15552


THE SWEDISH GOLD
Conquering Victoria's character will be insurmountable
Not even her sexy sister can compete with her on this stage
When the soul unfolds in full in a being, it is incomprehensible
And nobody should envy her but praise her for all it takes

The Swedish gold
That is what I want to name her from now on
For her beauty of deeds and commitments
We have all seen it unfold in strong bond
That is what we all have witnessed
And was not - just - told (memories never get old)

From Sweden to USA
Rushing for instant aid
We indeed do know
There is no more to say
ONLY:
CONGRATULATION VICTORIA!!

(Golden lives have no age
All your pages are a new blank page)

Step1- Get a shirt that is about your size shirt maybe a size larger.
Step2- Flip the shirt inside out so that the size tag is facing you.
Step3- Tie the sleeves around your head.
Step4- Pull the shirt so that it comes over your head until you can see through.

Thanks for watching!
