| I just love it when my grooms are sporting a fabulous tie! One of the best spring or summer looks for grooms is to wear a khaki or dark suit. The right tie will add the perfect flair to a groom's attire. Since a khaki suit is not so formal, you can go for a more colorful or patterned tie (and don't forget to add a pair of whimsical cufflinks!). |

| Featured on Etoile: by Bliss'd |

I was so delighted to be featured on Etoile by my former bride and now wedding planner extraordinaire, Michelle Miyairi of Bliss'd!
It's no surprise that given the care and attention that Michelle had put into her own wedding almost three years ago that she now operates a successful wedding and event planning business. I just adore Michelle and highly recommend her to all my brides!
Michelle's blog, Bliss'd {Something to BLOG about} is definitely one to bookmark! It's packed with great ideas for brides and features some of the best-known vendors in the Bay Area.

| Here are a few of my favorite shots, as well as details, from Michelle's wedding to Tosh in June 2006. I was fortunate to have Gene Higa shoot along with me that day, and I believe he's being featured on Etoile tomorrow! |

After posting the gorgeous wedding of Aubrey + Aaron (see post below), I thought now was the perfect time to feature the super-talented, oh-so-sweet Maria Chang of Professional Makeup Artistry (PMA).
Maria is one of the Bay Area's best hair and makeup artists. I've had the pleasure of working with her at many weddings over the years. With her calming presence, beautiful smile and amazing skills, it is no wonder why brides and photographers alike love Maria.
Just look at her work. STUNNING! I can't recommend her enough!

| Taylor Pham + Thi Cosmetics |

I'm thrilled to announce my very first featured vendor, Taylor Pham, founder of Thi Cosmetics. Taylor is a talented makeup artist, a successful entrepreneur, and a beautiful person inside and out.
I've had the pleasure of working with Taylor at many weddings over the years, and I couldn't be more happy for her success or recommend her enough to all my brides. She is definitely one of the best in the business! Her products have garnered international attention and are used by women all over the world, and Thi Cosmetics is regularly featured in beauty and fashion magazines.
Just recently, Taylor announced the launch of her White Tea Foundation line, which is sold in 27 stores in Japan! I also want to plug my absolute favorite Thi product, Taylor's famous Lush Lashes, which are unlike anything else on the market! These are a must-have for the bride on her wedding day.
As noted on Taylor's website, her goal is to help Asian women recognize their distinctive beauty and to encourage them to feel sexy and beautiful in their own skin. Taylor believes "What makes you different, makes you beautiful."

Gene and I were asked by Taylor to do her bio and press headshot last year. Here's the photo Taylor selected for her website.
Oh, and I just had to share that after the session, Taylor made Bogie's day by taking a photo with him, or might it have been the other way around? Hard to say! :)
