I may have been hiding under a rock because I just found this great wedding blog that I did not know about - JoMy Goodness!  And oh-my-goodness, is it good.  Jomylene has a great eye for fashion, color and details and puts them all together on her blog.  So many great wedding finds and links to vendors and other wedding related inspiration.  In addition to stunning image boards, color inspiration boards and fashion finds, Jomylene has a running “Twenty-Ten” feature that is a weekly post of wedding inspiration.  The coolest part of this feature, and one that I’ve never seen before, is the “Top Ten Images of the Week”.  What a great idea!  It’s a great way to feature photographers and their creative images.  She featured one of my images from the Italy shoot and I was so happy to see it posted!  Thanks so much Jomylene!  Click HERE to see the post and my image!

Here is the image that she featured from one of my Italy Week Posts from the Jose Villa + Gene Higa Workshop!  Love this image.

Don’t forget to check out the JoMyGoodness Blog for more inspiration, ideas, color boards, flowers, fashion…….the amazing list of eye-candy goes on and on.  Check it out!

Took a beautiful drive today up to Taos and drove around the “Enchanted Circle”.  There are small towns all along the circle and beautiful scenery.  This shot was taken in Angelfire.  The sky was just amazing!

It was one of the first weddings that I photographed. We arrived at the rehearsal dinner and not a soul was there. However, the venue had been completely decorated and photos hung of the future bride & groom. Just by looking at these photos, you could tell how in love they were. Later, when their family told their story of how they almost met, how they really met and how they met again, it was completely obvious that these two were destined for each other and meant to be together. They were so perfect, so cute that we called them “peanut butter & jelly”. Just like Ernie & Bert, Fred & Barney, Thelma & Louise, Mickey & Minnie and Kermit and Miss Piggy - they were the perfect pair.

I am lucky enough to be friends with another couple who are, in my terms, “peanut butter and jelly”. I met Beri, a fun, exhuberant and super cool girl at work. Over the years we became good friends. Her longtime boyfriend Brian was a great guy, very laid back and fun to be around. It was so evident just seeing them together that they were meant for each other and it was only a matter of time before they would be engaged. Their story is worthy of the most romantic hollywood movie and their wedding definitely captured their love for one another.

One year ago today, Beri & Brian were married on a beautiful summer day. Happy One Year Anniversary Beri & Brian! Wishing you many years of happiness and fun. I’m sure I’ll be photographing you on your 60th Wedding Anniversary!
