Mary & Andy | 7 Degrees | Laguna Beach

January 20th, 2009 @ 5:56 pm by Leigh @ Leigh Miller Photographer

I don't even know where to start with Mary and Andy's wedding. It was such a great day! They hired me a looong time ago so there has been a lot of anticipation for me leading up to this wedding. Mary is just the sweetest gal ever! Over the past year+ she would just send me random emails that said things like - We're just so happy to have you at our wedding. I mean for no reason at all. She's such a generous and genuine person. Andy's not too shabby either.

But on to the wedding day. Mary and Andy worked with Kevin Covey to create an awesome atmosphere. It was perfect. No detail left out. It was my second wedding last year with Kevin and he always exceeds my expectations. One of my favorite things about the entire wedding was the art. All the pieces hanging in the gallery on the wedding day were from Andy's grandfather. Isn't that amazing! Such a special, personal touch. My favorite was a nude hanging over the sofa (see below) and I hope one day maybe there will be a print available of that painting for purchase - hint, hint! If you'd like to see their wedding highlight video go over and check out Curtis Heyne of Living Cinema's Blog. Curtis is definitely one of my favorite videographers to work with, a blast and total professional.

Mary and Andy, thank YOU for letting me be a part of your wedding day. I know you will have years and years of happiness!

Awesome People:
Coordinator - Kevin Covey
Florals - Nisies Enchanted Florist
Venue - Seven Degrees
Cake - The Cake Studio
Videographer - Living Cinema
Coffee and Chocolate Fountain - Coffee Divas

And a great big thank you to Jen Rau for shooting with me!

Kristin Brancaleone, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA Vendor: Floral Designer Website: The Treasured Petal About Me: The Treasured Petal is a reflection of my love for scrumptious flowers, yummy textures, colors, ribbons, and all the other girly splurges that being a florist allows me to enjoy on a daily basis. Although I don't discriminate when it comes to flowers, my two favorites would have to be cattleya orchids and gloriosa lilies, which I carried in a ginormous bouquet on my wedding day. When I'm not crafting wedding florals and consulting with brides, I am usually at the dog park with my dogs Pesto and Basil, cooking healthy vegan dinners, watching Seinfeld with my husband Joe, at Bible study, or scouring craigslist for antique furniture to fill up my new house. I am also kind of a home-body and really love sipping tea in my pajamas while working my way down my google reader blog list!

Heather and Barry

December 29th, 2008 @ 8:05 am by Kristin @ The Treasured Petal

Heather and Barry are two of the most stylish, artistic, creative people I've had the pleasure of working with. The buzz words that kept coming up in our consultation were “whimsical”, “cozy”, “artistic” and “lush”. I couldn't wait to get to work on their florals- it was so much fun to be completely surrounded by sunny yellow and cream flowers and fresh lemons for 3 days while I designed the bouquets and centerpieces. The types of flowers I get to work with can really lift my mood!

I can't wait to share more of the details of this wedding with you.Ttheir fabulous photographers, Heather and Jon of One Love Photography, took this particular batch of photos with their “Big Papa” lens, which Jon created by taking apart an old camera and using the parts to fashion his own lens. The results? Fuzzy, textured photos that perfectly capture the dreaminess of the day. This wedding is definitely one of my faves! Be sure to check out the One Love blog post to get the full story on these images.
