the girls of everafter events!


a few weeks ago i had the privilege of shooting the fabulous girls from everafter events for their new website pics. it was quite an honor to be picked out of all the other great photographers here in san diego :) for any of your couples out there that are looking for a wedding coordinator...or even if you're not...you need to have one of these girls at your wedding! besides the fact that all of them are so sweet, fun, and easygoing...they are AMAZING at coordinating!!! from a photographer's standpoint, having a coordinator is SO important to your wedding day flowing smoothly. it's always so sad to see a couple stressing out about little things, working on last minute details, running way late and incurring overtime charges, etc. on their wedding day. your wedding day is a time to relax and have fun!

so look at these pics and then go go go call or email the girls of everafter!

from left to right....alesha, merilee, and jamie.

some fellow exceptional wedding vendors...


over the years we have had the opportunity to work with many vendors. many have been bad, many have been good, and a select few have been excellent. these a some of those few excellent ones that made an impression on us, delivered excellent product, exhibited professionalism and class, and most importantly were easy going and fun while doing it.

flowers by annette gomez - 760.632.1330
- our all time favorite florist! always on time, always cheery, and always creating stunningly beautiful florals and decor. we have had the privilege of working with her on a few weddings which can be seen here and here . do yourself a favor and hire annette!!!

everafter events - 619.787.0978
- merilee, jamie, alesha and the rest of the team at everafter events are top notch! every event they coordinate is overflowing with details, decor, artistry...and most importantly, efficiency! we had the please of working with them at the hui and skope weddings .

mint weddings - 619.425.2253
- kelly and her team are absolutely fantastic! besides the awesome details, fresh ideas, and stunning decor, they are all so easy to work with! we had the pleasure of working with kelly recently at the ray wedding .

events of love and splendor - 818.439.0595
- angel swanson was the brain child behind one of the most extravagantly amazing weddings we were a part of in 2006. she planned and coordinated karen and erik's bash at the paramour estate in LA to a T!!! besides having an amazing eye for style and a flare for incorporating personal touches, she is an absolute blast to work with!

amore events - 619.248.6784
- jennifer literally bubbles over with excitement and enthusiasm all day! a wonderfully refreshing approach to wedding planning and coordinating. she is SO easy to work with, unlike many of the "drill sergeant - director" types out there. we have had the privilege of working with her on the stroud wedding and the reece wedding .

b entertained - 858.509.9131
- the absolute best DJ we have worked with by a long shot! do yourself a favor and hire dennis, he is so easy to work with, keeps the reception moving, on time, truly loves music, and to top it all off he also plays classical guitar! we worked with denis at the ekelund wedding .

pro motion entertainment - 619.840.3572
- another refreshingly great DJ! blake kept the stroud party moving and hopping from start to finish. a perfect blend of being easy going and professional.

truly truso - 858.481.5250
- invitations, decor, and millions of little do dads and ideas...take a visit to their boutique in del mar.

pro beauty to you - 760-685-4345
- jacey is a fantastic make up artist! she uses airbrush makeup for a light and flawless look. best of all, she is professional, fast, and on time!

mayer studios - 619.702.5007
- exceptional hair and make up design. we worked with her at the sheakley wedding...check out the link to see how flawless denise looks!

photo booth scrapbooks - 877.551.2778
- some of the best money you can spend at a wedding! these guys bring in a vintage photo booth (you know the kind that spit out the little 4 sheets of pictures) and let your friends and family hop in all night. they include all the film and processing and even a scrapbook for your guests to sign by their pictures. too cool! we even hopped in four ours while we were at the almendarez wedding.

elysium productions - 800.373.6085
- one of the best videographers we've ever worked with! julie is totally cool and laid back on the wedding day, perfectly documenting all of the details and moments in an unobtrusive manner. to top it off, her finished products are AMAZING! you can check out more of her recent work on their blog ...how cool is that, a videographer with a blog?!?!

oasis video - 858.692.0398
- by far the easiest to work with "video guy" we have had the opportunity to work with. john's documentary "low key" style fits perfectly with ours, allowing us both to deliver our excellent product. a refreshing change from the wannabe movie directors that make you put on your shoes 4 times and lovingly gaze out windows.

happy day video - 800-283-7191
- margaret is a true artist at heart. she has worked at some of the biggest and best venues all over southern california capturing all of the beauty and fun in her documentary style. to top it off, she also shoots super 8 film, so cool!


please note - we are offering these recommendations only as a favor to our clients based on our experiences with them. as always, your mileage may vary :)

happy planning!
