Carlene is a sweet gal with great taste, which she showcases on her blog, itsheavenly.blogspot.com. A talented graphic designer alongside her husband Sonny, I credit her with turning me on to Etsy.com, a community of people who share a love for handcrafted goods. We share a passion for earrings, and I was the lucky winner of one of Carlene’s handmade creations!

Thanks Carlene! I can’t wait to rock my new earrings.

Have you taken a look at the current issue of The Knot

If you look inside and turn to page 50, you’ll see this:

Photos from our coverage of our good friends Ephraim and Rachel’s wedding back in October of ’07 are featured in the 2009 Spring/Summer issue of The Knot Southern California. If you’re not familiar with The Knot, it’s the grand-daddy of Bridal Magazines. That magazine, and its website, is the bible for a lot of brides-to-be. It’s full of great ideas and planning tips for couples overwhelmed with the enormity of planning a modern-day wedding.



We are very lucky–and flattered–to be included in this issue. I remember that wedding in particular as being one of the most beautiful, stylish weddings we have covered so far. And we were so lucky to meet a couple like Ephraim and Rachel, who we now consider two of our very good friends. That’s probably the best fringe-benefit of being wedding photographers: having the opportunity to meet and become friends with some great couples in the prime of their happiness. Here’s to you, Ephraim and Rachel!
