Surfing Rails With Brenda + Derek

When you first hear from a client that they have a "friend" who is going to be their photographer, I'm not going to lie, its scares us wedding coordinators like you wouldn't believe. However, we just received a sneak peak at the photos from a wedding we recently did, and we were floored!

Introducing Ken Pagliaro Photography. Not only did he capture absolutely stunning photos of this couple, but he completely encapsulated the spirit and laughter that you couldn't help but be consumed by with this couple.

Brenda and Derek were such a blessing to work with, I have never laughed so hard while planning a wedding. It just shows how much fun they have together, as well as with their friends and family. Stay tuned for further photos coming soon. Enjoy!

Hey! No peeking! Silly groomsman...

Since our groom was such a surfer boy, I suggested that they have their guests sign an old surfboard to hang in their home. It was super cute!

You just can't help but rub it...literally.

Thanks Valerie and David for allowing us to take over your home in Carpinteria, California, for this celebration. You were so fun to meet and work with. I'm sad its over!

Wife. Mother of two rugrats. Laugh like a PEZ dispenser, with my mouth wide open and my head way back. Proudly use the word Hella, as I am a Bay Area Native. Love a good 'Farm To Bar' Chopin Greyhound. The louder the music, the better, preferably Electronic Dance Music, but I'll pretty much blare anything with a good hook. I love antique shopping and am obsessed with HGTV shows, and with no shame, Reality TV. If I could live anywhere, it would be in a Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware catalog. I own cowboy boots {nickname is "Boots"} and leopard print pumps. I'll eat my weight in cheese, sushi, and Indian Food. I carry a bottle of Tabasco in my car and I love to drive fast. I'm high energy and hard working. I talk too fast and I truly believe that I was meant to be the third Gilmore Girl. I inhale what life has to offer, good or bad, and I am not afraid to voice my opinion!

The team I pull together for my events is unique every time. My clients vision, budget, and personality is what drives the creative collaboration, and is what makes my job so much fun! I want each and every wedding that I do, be a true reflection of who my clients are, and always find touching ways to incorporate special details that are distinctive to them. I am a huge advocate for my clients, and I work very hard to ensure they receive the best service, quality products and memorable experience throughout the planning process as well as on the wedding day. My experience and years in the industry, along with the relationships I have cultivated, can provide this. I also take very good care of my vendors, as I am a firm believer in staying local, if possible, and supporting your events community. As a village, we thrive!
