Kris and Kristen’s wedding is another one of those weddings that is jam-packed with details; there’s the cupcake bar, the hilarious napkins, the beer kozy favors, the out-of-this-world centerpieces…
I have to say though, what really made me fall in love with this wedding were the bride and groom photos. Adding a Vespa, some balloons, a very cool sign, and, at one point, a couple of musicians, Alea Moore’s shots are little bit quirky, totally pretty and capture a couple that looks like they have a great time together.

Kristen’s Thoughts:
The most meaningful part of our wedding day was our first dance. My husband is a huge Metallica fan and really wanted our first dance to be to the song “Nothing Else Matters.” We found an instrumental version by Apacalytica and performed…
Not to go all Beach Boys on you, but there is something about Southern California, isn’t there? The sandy beaches, blue skies, convertibles, sunny days… it all makes me doubly-happy that Spring is on its way! And, this session by Betwixt Studio is what I think of as a quintessential San Diego shoot – Lindsay and Blair first take an ocean drive in her dad’s Corvette, then a spin on their Cruiser bikes, and finish up, where else but, at the beach.
It’s a lovely engagement shoot, featuring a couple that looks totally at home with each other and in laid-back surroundings. So sit back, relax and enjoy a bit of sunshine…
Proud to say Betwixt Studios is a mywedding member.
It’s our absolute favorite time of year around here because today is the official start of Engagement Season! All month long we’ll be featuring real engagements, engagement party ideas, rings and everything else you might need to get your wedding planning started off right.
To kick it all off we have an engagement shoot from Melbourne, Australia that is charming, eclectic and a little bit steamy (no, Kelly and Dave aren’t models; yes, I’m pretty sure they could be). Photographed beautifully by Adorro Impressions Photography, you’d never believe that the shoot took place in the cold and pouring rain!
And talk about using what is in front of you… Jess, the photographer, saw the bus on the side of the road and decided to stop and see if they could use it for the photo shoot. It was part of a large homestead owned by a French family…
Of course you want to keep things as easy and inexpensive as possible for your wedding guests, especially if they’re coming in from out of town. And hotel nights, one of the biggest expenses, can quickly add up.
Which is why Deal Base is such an excellent find. Basically, they round-up discounts from newsletters, hotel websites, reward programs, online travel agencies – all of the places a normal traveler doesn’t have ready access to – and put them in one, easy-to-search website.
All of the usual travel site tools are there – filtering deals by star rating or price, comparison windows so you can see prices from other travel sites – to make it easy for your guests to drill down to hotel that’s a good fit.
But, where Deal Base sets itself apart from traditional travel sites is with their packages. Rather than just giving you straight hotel…
