Lis and Kim, Ojai Valley Inn.

May 6th, 2008

Lis and Kim have a lighthearted way about them…even their vows
were full of humor.
Yet they also showed their commitment to each other.
They are fun and genuine, through and through.

The whole day echoed this, from the classiness of the Ojai Valley Inn
to the first dance…with scorecards!
Lis wore her mom’s wedding dress, an amazing two-piece ensemble…then
changed into a purple dress and Converse sneakers for the reception.
The toasts were personal and yes, filled with laughs.
There was a fantastic dessert bar, a zany photobooth,
an exuberant bouquet toss and an even more
exhuberant hora.

wedding colors: kelly green and earthy brown
flowers by Nicolas Flowers & Events

May 2nd, 2008

I have this weird affliction where I repeatedly visit certain places and, yes, photograph them.
I don’t know why.
Perhaps I’m trying to forever capture the essence of these cool places,
as if I could somehow contain their essence in my photos and relive the amazing design,
food and details.
Mainly, it’s because they got it right.
Absolutely right and I’m still delighted with every visit.

The ever-growing list
The San Francisco Japanese Tea Garden, The Hotel San Jose, Cafe de Stijl, Atlas Cafe,
Jo’s on Congress, Canter’s Deli, Quality Food & Beverage, The Slow Club, Homeslice Pizza,
Loteria, The Kitchen, SoCo Cafe, Mi Cultura, Union Station.

And now, one more: The Go Room. Just can’t get enough of it.
