About Mrs. Penguin

I Love L.A.

March 31st, 2008 @ 4:38 pm by Mrs. Penguin

I Love L.A. :  wedding engagement pictures recap sacramento Z138982.jpg

This weekend was a busy one for the Penguin crew! We drove down to Los Angeles to finally meet our photographer, the ridiculously awesome Sarah K Chen. Southern California has an incredibly talented pool of photographers, and we were so so SO lucky to have snagged Sarah! I had instant friend crush when I met her, and we’re fortunate to have a photographer that not only is AMAZING, but truly makes us feel comfortable in front of a camera.

There is a lot of debate on whether or not to take engagement pictures. Having taken them now I realize that it is really an experience that couples should have, especially if they’re included in your package! It’s really great to have been able to meet and work with our photographer before our wedding date. Having gotten to know her and her shooting style is something that will really pay off on our wedding day, I think!

Anyhoo, girl is working overtime on the weekends because I came home to a big ol’ post full of hot pics from this Saturday posted on Sarah’s blog!

Sarah pretty much blew my mind with these pictures, and there are a bunch more posted on her blog. You can hardly tell I refreshed my makeup, glued on some fake-o eyelashes and got gussied up in the bathroom of a sports bar during half time of the UCLA/Xavier Elite 8 game, can you?

@melbride: Hee hee, no freakin way. I hit up the Bobbi Brown makeup counter over at Westside Pavillion earlier in the day. I did glue on my own eyelashes though…I’ve got a pair from MAC that I’ve reused several times. Fakey eyelashes are my favorite “accessory” :)

@valeqt: so funny you mention the dress! I had a major freakout last minute and went with that old purple dress from my closet! I have about $1K (thats right you heard me) in returns to make now on clothes that I ordered from the net intending to possibly wear for the e-shoots and i ended up going with clothes out of my closet :) Only the light purple silk top was new (BCBG)

The brand of the dress is “Aqua” and its a couple years old from Bloomingdales in Minneapolis. (Dont you hate when designers have too normal sounding names?) I googled the style number but came up with nothing :(

@emily: Those pictures were with a photographer that I grew up with, Travis Hoehne. He is an old friend from my hometown and I called him to shoot my wedding but he was unavailable for my date so we just shot engagment pictures with him instead!
