Yesterday morning I met up for coffee with my friend Allison, who I worked at Montage Laguna Beach with this past summer. While we were talking she mentioned how neat it was that Troy and I are in the same “muse” now. I love that word, MUSE. I’ve been thinking about that today & re-appreciating where I’m at in the midst of wedding busyness. Looking back, I never thought that I would have the opportunity to work side by side with Troy. He has taught me so many new things & it’s nice to  step back and take it in. Troy, thank you so much for encouraging me & bringing me into this creative realm that I am beginning to love so much!

A look back…

I remember going along on Troy’s first wedding to help assist him throughout the day…posing the bride below.

I remember this summer when we went up to David Jay’s house with my sister, where we talked about blogging, photography and life.

We also have good memories attending the SmugMug seminars, where we’ve been able to hear photographers like Jasmine Star and Becker share from the heart. It has been such an encouraging experience to network with other photographers as well!

This past summer Troy and I were able to be the model couple for a Photog shootout in San Juan Capistrano. It was such a learning experience for us & gave us a whole new understanding of how it feels to be on the other side of the lens. Here is a shot that Jasmine Star snapped during the day.

What I have been enjoying most in this journey so far is hunting for good photo spots & helping pose our clients! It has been artistically challenging & I love it! Below, me looking ever-so-serious as Troy tests out the light :)

Here comes the…flower pots! I decided about a week ago, that I absolutely love little terracotta pots. I love the simplicity of them with a fresh green plant peeking out. I started thinking of how I could incorporate them into my wedding, and decided on the perfect substitution. The bridesmaid bouquets. Maybe I should call them Bou-pots? So much more “green” to have something that won’t just wilt and die after the wedding! And how cute would they look sitting on tables at the reception! I found a few images of various terracotta pots online to send over to my florist. What kind of a green plant do you think would be good for fall?

Though, the image below is not a terracotta pot, I like the idea of adding a flower or two!

This last photo might look familiar. I found this image while blogging about chalkboard paint & it was my initial inspiration for bou-pots!
