Ashlea’s Bridal Shower

TIFFANY’S.

Now that I have your attention, let me explain to you how incredible Ashlea’s bridal shower was. Amber, the Maid of Honor contacted me asking if I could possibly shoot this event for her. When she told me about the theme, how could I resist? From the miniature Tiffany-style wrapped boxes, to the Breakfast At Tiffany’s attire, the party lived up and exceeded the hype! Amber modestly stated that she’s not very crafty at DIY stuff, but you can see from all of the below—that’s not true at all.

With a lively bunch of photobombers, a heart-warming speech, a home-made photo booth, and awesome games (pass the bouquet and my favorite of the evening, draw the groom!), I’m just so lucky to have been a part of it all. Except for that one part when they announced that I was the male stripper. #awkward.

Get your black outfit and pearls out as you take a look at this fabulous bridal shower!

Hearst Castle Adventure

Last weekend my wife and I spent our anniversary in Central California. Needless to say, it was cow-tastic! Full of open fields, fresh air, and plenty of fauna grazing in huge open ranch properties. Happy cows really do come from California—now I know. About a half hour north was Hearst Castle, and let me tell you—King Arthur would be jelly. It was absolutely incredible. Unbelievable really, that one person could gather so much wealth and have such an obsession with architecture. It really brought a few things into perspective for me. One, I’m poor. Two, creativity and vision knows no bounds! Follow your heart, and the external will submit. Check out some of the views (seriously, you can’t retouch that kind of beauty!) from the Castle!

Danny Bracco Style Session

I may be the only guy that doesn’t think of Counter-Strike or Call of Duty when I hear the word “head shot.” My coworker at Mustang Marketing needed an update to his headshot (I have a day job and this was done as a part of that job, not as a self-contracter!) so we decided to take a gander outside of our cave that we like to call the office. It’s really challenging, finding a location amongst a parking lot, black-windowed buildings and overall mundane setting. We walked along a path in between two offices, and found a nice shaded area that had a bit of green and some flora. The only fauna were Danny, Jess Williams and I! Here are a few of his favorite mugs!
