As another warm and balmy summer begins to fade into a crisp and temperate fall, I thought I’d take all you readers back to the peak of spring here in Southern California. This turn-of-the-season wedding was so special for a number of reasons: 1) the bride met me when she was a bridesmaid in another wedding I coordinated last year. I love direct contact referrals like that!; 2) the photographer, John of John & Joseph Photography, was an out-of-town star I had always wanted to meet; 3) it all took place at Castle Green, the stunning and historic site I wed my own sweetie back in 2005! We were already off to a fabulous start for this event. ![]()
Nisa and Aaron live in Chicago, where they are both physicians. The physical distance coupled with their busy schedules meant we did a lot of coordinating via phone and email. I plan many Southern California soirees for out-of-towners and am always happy to be the “in state” liaison for these couples. It was especially easy in this instance due to my familiarity with her venue.
Right from the start, Nisa was drawn to rich, deep colors like eggplant, fuchsia and burgundy.
