Hello all you Monday readers! I hope that your Monday is treating you well…hopefully better than mine because I am fighting a mean cold and it’s currently winning. Good thing I have a Monday blog post to cheer me up! This weekend Rico and I got to take it easy. We met up with some amazing couples for their engagement sessions (hi Holly, Dagan, Jen, and Jaron! xoxo) then to top it all off, we got to spend some time with another pair of my fave past clients and great friends in Culver City..the Greens!! We seriously meet some of the best people doing this job, sheesh. Thanks for being awesome oh AND for reading this silly little blog of ours. Not much makes me happier than when I meet someone and they say “we look forward to Monday blog posts every week!” Seriously, SERIOUSLY? I love you all. And I think, that if you are a regular Monday post reader and you have yet to say hi, you should comment! That would make me VERY happy and I need extra doses of happy today as I struggle to keep my sneezing at a manageable level. Ok, ok to the blog post already! Oh man, I don’t even know what to say right now because I have rambled several times about how much I love this couple, Tommy and Lydia. We have shared their sweet engagement session, then their stunning wedding with you, and now we have their trash the dress to share with you today. We did this session in San Francisco early in the morning after a late night shooting a wedding the night before, and it’s safe to say we woke up that morning on empty. Luckily Lydia and Tommy are pure energy and I can’t help but be happy when I’m around them. Oh yeah, and they should be professional models because well, just look at them! Tommy and Lydia, you two are so sweet and adorable and such amazing people (and yes, I have a crush on you both). Thank you again for giving us the honor of documenting your love for each other and the joining of your lives, and your amazing style (hello amazing dress!). And double thank you for inspiring us and allowing us to do what we do. We MUST get together very soon in SF or SD! And with that, I leave with these two lovelies….enjoy!

Thanks so much for the past weekend. Jaron and I had such a blast. We thought it would be nerve-wrecking pretending to be models, but we ended up just being ourselves, thanks to you and Rico. SO excited to see your work and share it on our website =)
