Mark + Candice Brooke have been our good friends for almost two years now. We met at an industry party, hit it off, and have made a ton of good memories together ever since (Mark is also one of Justin's fellow Mammoth Men hommies)! We were super excited for them when they discovered that they were expecting their first little baby boy. The soon-to-be Wyatt will be one lucky kid when he is born, with two awesome parents that eagerly await him.
I have to admit that this definitely made me a bit baby-hungry. There is something amazingly beautiful about a woman that is almost full term and ready to pop. Candice really has an indescribable glow about her as she prepares to bring her little one into the world. So glad we got to help Mark + Candice remember this exciting time in their lives and we can't wait to meet baby Wyatt!
Be sure to also stop by Chenin Boutwell's blog to see the amazing shower she and Jessica Claire put on for Mark + Candice!

Kaitlyn + Jordan were married on August 14th in San Diego. I simply ADORED this wedding, not just because Kaitlyn happens to be my sweet cousin, but because every little detail was thought up and executed directly with their wedding theme of "beside the seaside" with a vintage twist. I thought that the theme and the day played out super well and I've never witnessed an idea that flowed more perfectly. You may recognize Kaitlyn + Jordan from the engagement session we shot a few months back in Laguna Beach.
I've decided that I'm going to start another tradition with my wedding posts, it's called "my favorite item of the day", and here it is...the groom's boutonniere, simple amazing!
Details....and more details...see what I mean?!-thumb-678x1017-5366.jpg)
