Tim and I got married just over a year ago and since we moved to New York right after we tied the knot, we didn’t really get a chance to have a nice relaxing honeymoon. Sure, we took the train across country to the east coast, but with our wedding and the move right after it was just so hectic! Dreaming of a getaway where we could lounge in the sun all day, we decided that we would celebrate a honeyversary! We went to the oh-so-popular and oh-so-awesome Ace Hotel and Swim Club in the wonderfully hot Palm Springs and we had the best time ever. We love the mid century feel that Palm Springs has. All of the houses look so fun and the decorations are so retro-cool! While we were there we swam in the pool for hours on end, bought out all the records at the thrift stores, and of course, we did a photo shoot!
We loved our engagement photos so much that we wanted to have a similar vibe with our latest shoot. We shot our honeyversary photos with a tripod and wireless trigger, just like before, and of course we had to keep our retro flare! We incorporated our love of the 50s 60s and 70s and took inspiration from movies such as Gidget, Beach Party, and of course Palm Springs Weekend. We found a really great vintage movie projector at a thrift store so we had to use that somehow…and I think it turned out to be so special. I’m thinking this might be an annual tradition :) We hope you love the photos as much as we do. To see all of the photos check out our wedding photography website.
This has been a crazy year for weddings! Tim and I started it a year ago and I guess everyone had so much fun at our party that they want to throw one of their own! My lovely bestie Savanna just got married to her darling Andy at the end of July, and guess who the photographer was ;) To check out the pictures that my handsome husby took of that amazing event, check out our wedding photography website. We also took Savanna and Andy’s engagement photos and put together a beautiful video from that shoot so please check them out as well! But the pictures that I’m going to share with you now are from Savanna’s bridal shower. As her Matron of Honor, I had the privilege of throwing her the shower of a lifetime, and with the help of her Maid of Honor and the other bridesmaids, we threw her a Very Un-bridal Mad Hatter Tea Party. Since it was the middle of summer in southern California, we opted for a variety of iced teas instead of hot tea and we served plenty of sweets and treats to go with them.
In other wedding news, in September my gorgeous darling cousin Theresa is getting married, so her sister threw her a Lovely Lemon Bridal Shower earlier this month. The desserts couldn’t have been better…everything had lemon, my faaaaavorite, and we had a blast playing the Iron Chef dessert challenge! We had a wonderful time and I can’t wait to fly home in September for the big party!!!
After a very very eventful summer, Tim and I are back in New York, ready for our final year in this crazy city! We just moved in to our new apartment so we are living in a bit of a mess right now, and so to procrastinate on the cleaning I thought that I would post a few pictures of what I did over summer. I realized that so much happened, from St. Tropez with the family that I work for, to celebrating our honeyversary in Palm Springs, to my best friend’s wedding, to my cousin’s bridal shower…so much going on! So I’m going to spread out the posts over the next couple of days.
