Over dinner a couple of months ago I pondered the benefits of attending WPPI with my husband.  At the conclusion of the conversation I had talked myself out of attending WPPI and decided I would rather attend a workshop… a Jasmine Star Workshop to be exact.  The only problem with my decision was Jasmine didn’t have any upcoming workshops.  Much to my surprise the very next day I received a newsletter from Jasmine with details about her April workshop… I think my heart stopped!  I couldn’t get to the computer fast enough to sign up and an hour later I received a confirmation that I had a spot. 

Fast forward to last week…

We left for California on Monday morning…  after checking into our hotel we were off to see the ocean.  The remainder of our day was spent checking out Orange County and dreaming about life with the beach as our backyard. 

Monday evening I met up with about 15 workshop attendees and Jasmine for drinks and dessert at Claim Jumper- the group was amazing!  We talked the night away about photography and life.  I had a fabulous time getting to know everyone!

Tuesday morning it was time for the workshop… yes, I was nervous!  My wonderful husband dropped me of at the The Woodbury and spent the day exploring Orange County by himself (I love him!)  The workshop was AMAZING!  I can’t say it enough, the information on branding was exactly what I needed!  I can’t wait to implement the information I learned to my business.  Look for these changes in the near future!  You might just visit my site and get a little SURPRISE!!!  Later in the day we were off to the hills for a photo session with Colton and Michelle.  Aren’t they just the cuttiest couple you’ve ever seen!!!  They are newlyweds who flew in from Virginia to be our models for the day.  Not only is Michelle a fabulous model but she is an amazing photographer- check her blog out here. Thanks Colton and Michelle!  It was wonderful meeting you and I wish you the best on the new adventure in Virginia! 

Jasmine showing us how it’s done- fabulous style!  

 This fabulous bouquet was designed by Kristen at  The Treasured Petal      My favorite picture from the day!

This pictures makes me wish I would have worn a bird cage veil on my wedding day! 

The fabulous bridcage veil was also made by Kristen from Treasured Petal- visit her etsy store to see more of her designs. 

 

Jasmine and JD- You are inspiring!  I can’t say thank you enough for the information you shared and your friendship.  I LOVED every minute of the workshop!

xoxo,

Melissa

I’m spending the afternoon bowling with a group of kids from Youth at Heart.  I mean, who doesn’t love bowling and a pizza party with great kids????? It’s going to be a blast!  Check back later this week for the full post from Randy & Gina’s wedding.

Meet Randy & Gina on their wedding day!

Ceremony: Sharp Chapel

Reception: Tulsa Country Club

It started out like any other cake cutting…  the bride and groom cut a small piece of cake while they posed for photographs.  When it was time for Randy to give Gina a bite he politely smashed the piece of cake on Gina’s face.  Well, needless to say when it came time for Gina to give Randy a bite… it was payback time!!!  I think I even saw icing on Randy’s ear!!! 

A big THANKS to Kristen for asking me to help her capture Randy and Gina’s big day!

Thanks for stopping by!

Melissa

I am sad to say he is no longer with us but he was very tasty!  If you’re looking for a fun treat that’s a little outside the ordinary  stop by Merritt’s for a little frog cookie!   

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
