Rolling out the green carpet

The wonderful Christine of The Spiraled Stem, has a new endeavour: The Green Event Studio. So cool & so needed in this industry! A great resource for brides looking to host an environment-friendly wedding, without sacrificing style and quality. 

They are opening the doors to their new studio to brides this sunday. You should definitely check it out- I am sure it is going to be amazing. You have to rsvp to attend- see info above. I'll be there on thursday night, so I'll give you a report on friday!

**Update: Really fun and interesting to hear about all that is going on there. If you are a bride and can go on sunday, I highly encourage you to! I'll be posting pictures later this weekend.

Cutie Pat-too-tie!

Oh man- I am in love with this boy or what?


I am so thankful for the wonderful Marianne Lozano of Mpetit for offering to capture these moments of our sweet little man. You can see a few more on her blog.

happy 2008!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! I am so excited about 2008 and what it holds for us here at Joyful. We have amazing weddings lined up with some of the sweetest, most fun couples around and are blessed to be able to do what we do for another year!

For my first blog of 2008, it is only fitting to show off some amazing J* engagement photos of Shelley & Brett, who will be our first wedding in 2008. I am so looking forward to their wedding at Rancho Las Lomas!
