I have been engaged for three years. I like to think of myself as an EXPERT fiancé. I may not be the traditional bride-to-be but I have found that in this day and age my road to the alter is no longer as uncommon or taboo as it once was. For one, my betrothed and I have a little girl so we’ve definitely put the horse before that particular cart. And though our parents are roughly the same ages, Rich and I are at opposite ends of our generation, with a fourteen-year age gap (I hardly notice it most of the time—accept that he always seems to skip past Sublime on my iPod and I will never quite get The Scorpions). This is the chronicle of my stumble through creating, growing, cooking, reading, parenting and overall being. Many thanks for your interest.

Wedding Fever

After doing a super fun wedding shoot for my etsy shop, hungryheartrecycler, I've been feeling super inspired.  My dear friend Ashley was kind enough to spend the day playing dress-up with me in a trio of super fun vintage wedding gowns.  I made her headpieces out of greek oregano, roses and jasmine (all from my own yard) and her wild flower bouquet came from a box of wild flowers in my garden.  I was inspired by the big oversized flowers on my mom's head piece in her 1976 wedding.  We shot the photos in Winchester, CA near Winchester Farms.  The weather was great and we managed to stumble across some of the last wild flowers of spring in the area.





(On an awesome side note, my parents celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary next Saturday!)
