Today is the day we celebrate the day I proposed to Mer. It was only a year ago! We wanted to post a little collage of us over the years. We were high school sweethearts so here are all the pictures from the dances we went to together. They start in 2001 and go until 2003. Finished off with our wedding picture! Check out our awesome style :) lol. We had a lot of fun dressing up for these dances. I particularly like how I wore either Converse or Vans to all the dances AND our wedding! And Mer looks stunning in all the photos. Enjoy, and have a great Valentine’s day with the one you love!

So we decided there is just too much awesome wedding stuff online that we wanted to be able to share with all of you!! From invitation designs, to engagement photo ideas, to just fun photos! We didn’t want to clutter up this blog though with a bunch of single image posts so we started a little inspiration blog over on Tumblr. I’m sure a lot of you guys are already on Tumblr so check it out. Follow us if you’d like :)

One of our dear friends came into town last week for a visit, but when you have a friend visiting who is a vintage beauty queen and also happens to be a fantastic hair stylist and makeup artist, you just HAVE to rock out a few photo shoots (like the one we posted of her and her boyfriend gallivanting around New York)! Aubrey Marie is a swing-dancing, retro-loving pinup girl so of course a boudoir shoot was an obvious UHHH YAAAAAA!!! She did her own hair and makeup and the wardrobe was provided by Sugar Darling Vintage, and the result was pure Vargas! We truly are her biggest fans (she did my hair and makeup for our wedding!) so if you are in the Southern California area and are in need of an amazing hair stylist or makeup artist for weddings, theatre, movies, ANYTHING then please check out her website here! Her sassy pinup pictures are a present for her boyfriend, and with Valentine’s Day just around the corner you can’t give a better present than a sexy boudoir shoot with us!

Two of our darling friends from Los Angeles came out to Manhattan to celebrate the New Year with us and to have a great time in the city. Aubrey and Kendrick have been together for almost a year, and they are just so darn cute it would knock your socks off! They met at a swing dancing club and their love for vintage culture and fashion brought them together. Their retro vibe made it so much fun to shoot them because they fit perfectly with our style! It was Kendrick’s first time in Manhattan so we wanted to make sure he was able to see everything important. They bought candied almonds in Central Park, had cupcakes in the Lower East Side, and ate amazing cheap pizza…ya I think we covered all of the important stuff! This is a mega picture post because we just HAD to post ALL OF THESE!!! We also shot some amazing boudoir photos of Aubrey that we’ll post in a couple of days. Enjoy :)

We wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Hopefully you have a great 2010!! Good things!

We wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday!!! No matter what you celebrate, we hope it is awesome!!! We are loving our first experiences in a city with snow! It snowed for the first time in Manhattan for the season this past weekend, which was also my (Tim) 26th birthday!! It’s really strange walking through a city covered in snow but it is exciting. See you in the new year!!

Hey guys! So our wedding, which happened almost 6 months ago, is now up for several awards on LA Style Unveiled’s Local Love contest. It would be awesome if our lovely readers could help us out with a vote :). There is no sign up required or anything, real quick :). Thanks!!

So when you have a beautiful wife like I do it is hard not to take pictures of her all the time! This past weekend was no exception. We made a drive out to Connecticut because we had never been and we want to visit as many places on the east coast as we can before we move back to the west. The trees are almost all naked by now, but that meant lots of leaves on the ground! It was awesome. Mer put on a cute little teacup wedding dress and a giant bow and we shot some really fun photos! We hope you enjoy them.

When we were at the Sunday Wedding, there was a Smilebooth setup by Our Labor of Love. It was a lot of fun to take pictures in it. We also shot in a traditional photo booth that the Ace Hotel always has. We thought you would enjoy the pics :)

We had such a blast shooting Mark and Kelli, who just moved to the big city from North Carolina. Maybe it was so much fun because Mark is a comedian and Kelli is an actress, so they knew exactly what to do once the cameras were on them. Or maybe it was because they are one of the most adorable couples on the planet! They kept each other laughing through the whole shoot, giving it a laid-back, casual feel that never felt forced. It was amazing to see just how well they complemented each other, and we feel so lucky to give them these photos to treasure.
