Six months ago during a house warming party my dear friends Ivis and Mike surprised us all by announcing they were engaged.  I couldn't be more happier for her.  She is an amazing person and I'm thrilled to be a part of their special day.  Shortly after the announcement another surprise, the date was set.  She asked me "do you think we can plan a wedding in four months?" Absolutely!  So here we are less 36 days away from the bid day.

I'm fortunate to have some amazing vendors working with me on such a short notice.  Always impressed by Henry Chen and his mad photography skills.  Thank you so much for always taking care of my clients, extra thanks when you treat my friends like your own.  For more shots of the e-session click here.

Ivis is also a very crafty and talented jewelry designer.  I'm looking forward to all the DYI projects she's taken on with so little time to plan.  You can follow her wedding planning thoughts as she blogs about all the planning on Anythig Sparkly,

I've been blessed to have such wonderful couples to work with.  I still remember the day Ilia called me on the phone to discuss my services, we just couldn't stop talking.  After meeting Evan at our first consultation, it was evident why these two were getting married.  They have the best outlook not only on their relationship but on life itself.  I'm looking forward to their wedding this year.  Lot's of planning still to do. 

I met with Ilia and Evan early this past Sunday morning to finalize their stationary design.  Shortly after that they met with  Henry for their engagement session.  Not even the rain could stop these crazy kids.  For more pictures venture over to Henry's blog .
