Allison + Nowell >> Backyard Wedding

Tuesday, June 4, 2013 Posted inwedding3 comments

Hey there friends! Ah..we’re sorry it’s been a while since we’ve posted something, but man it’s been busy over here! We’ve been traveling fools this year so we can’t complain. (Shelby’s in South Africa right now… lucky thing!). And we’re actually on the hunt for an intern, so keep a lookout on our instagram & facebook this week for more information!! Now onto today’s post… we’re making up our absence to ya with this adorable backyard wedding we shot in Carlsbad. We love us an intimate backyard celebration and Allison & Nowell’s wedding was just that (and they served puerto nuevo style mexican food so we just about died). Allison & Nowell – your day was perfect and we had so much fun shooting it. We adore you two & your amazing group of friends & family. We’re so happy we could be a part of your day. Enjoy the photos! xo

Kate + JP >> Indio Wedding >> Part I

Monday, April 29, 2013 Posted indestination wedding,wedding6 comments

Hello and happy monday morning. We’re sharing a wedding today that we just freaking LOVED.  ahhh… we adore this couple & everything about this wedding (hello sequin dance floor!). We kinda just want to live in it forever. Kate and JP are two of the most beautiful people – inside and out! The love they have for each other is something amazing to witness in person. They can’t keep their hands off each other. It’s complete true love & makes everyone around them melt! (remember their engagement photos?!) They got married at the empire polo fields in Indio, CA & we had one incredible team of vendors to work with… Jesi Haack, JL Designs, Pitbulls & Posies, The Love Riot, and more.

this wedding was so good, we split it into two posts! so check back tomorrow for part two. and even better, it’s featured on 100 Layer Cake today! yep… go see for yourself!

travel photography > tulum, mexico

Friday, April 12, 2013 Posted indestination wedding,travelNo comments

Last September we were lucky enough to shoot a wedding in Cancun (have we mentioned how much we love our job??)  After the wedding we decided to take a quick trip down to Tulum for a little r&r and a bit of Negra Modelo as you’ll see in the photos below.  Tulum quickly became one of our most favorite places on earth which is saying a lot because between the two of us we’ve seen a lot of places.  We stayed at Ahau Tulum where we felt like family.  Everyone was so kind to us, we enjoyed chatting with the staff each day at breakfast while indulging in fresh juice and mexican style eggs (always with habanero sauce).  The company of the many local dogs was comforting as we missed our pups back at home.  We had some of the most delicious meals including dinner at Hartwood, just a short walk from our hotel.  Most of our days were spent lounging in the hammocks with a cold beer and dozing off to the sounds of the Caribbean.  We can’t wait to go back.

OMG I’m so obsessed with this shoot! I want something like this for our engagement shoot!! Do you know where she got the long white dress and the short white dress with the dots?

TeraApril 5, 2013 - 4:06 pm

Hi Gina!
Thank you for your comments- we loved being photographed by Taryn and Shelby. THEY ARE GREAT! The long white dress I purchased at Nordstrom (designer is Nine West believe it or not!) a couple years ago. The short white dress with dots was purchased through Gilt.com (I love Gilt) in November of 2012, the designer is Best Society.
