WIPA event

After a bit of holiday hiatus, no better way to kick of the year than an awesome event with fellow wedding vendors. I attended the WIPA brunch featuring international event planner extraordinnaire Steve Kemble at Rrivre Works. I always enjoy shooting at Rrivre's "candyshop" (as I call it) so took my camera with me.

Not only was it well attended by the industry's bests, most of which I've been very fortunate to have worked with in the past, it was also a lot of fun. Such a lovely event! Floral designers Mille Fiori, Shirvan Design, Bobbe Vagell, Flower Dec & My Flower Guy showcased their creations. Posh linens and rentals Wildflower Linens, Chameleon Chairs and Classic Party Rentals. Delectable dishes by Good Gracious!, sweet treats & a candy bar by Epicurean Umbrella, and an espresso bar by The Cappuccino Club. You'd wish it was your birthday party! ;)

Super adorable hubby & wife team, Will & Naomi Henshall of Henshall Photography were there to cover the event. Thanks for my photo below Will! ... and Julie Hill of Elysium Productions did video.

Cheers to a more successful year ahead to all!

Ceremony Magazine Party

The annual Ceremony Magazine party was at The Richard Nixon Library. Coordinated by one of my favorites, Carolyn Chen of The Special Day. It is where Southern California's finest vendors meet & mingle. It's always great to see & chat with fellow vendors less the craziness of a working day...
