Los Angeles Pasedena Engagement: Ron and Doleen

Today's mini blog session (as voted by all of you who follow us on facebook) comes all the way from the other side of the world, in Los Angeles where we roamed the charming streets of Pasedena - I LOVED the place. It was full of spanish charm, colour, and not to mention the famous Californian sun. I still stand to this day that Californians get to enjoy some of the most beautiful light in the world :)

Anyhow, meet Ron and Doleen!

Their session was shot a little more glamorous than I would normally shoot, but really?!! When you check out Doleen's amazing feather dress, you can't help but shoot a tiny little bit more sophisticated and sassy :) We even had other photographers we met that day, trying to grab a few shots of the dress while Ron and Doleen's session was underway. It was so funny! :D

Alright, lets move onto the images - hope you enjoy some of my favourites from their lightning quick session around the town :)

Umm... hello? I LOVE people who express their personality through fabulous SHOES! :D

A little fun off the Pasedena Bridge :D

Doleen was so sweet and insisted I take her shoes (we're the same size - size 37 hehe!!) so they are sitting nice and pretty in my shoe cabinet now. love!!! thank you soooo much Doleen!

We ended the session at this gorgeous little spanish residence (or restaurant - we couldn't figure it out! haha) that we just happened to stumble pass while looking for parking :D Yay for random location finds and happy accidents! :D

Hope you are all having a lovely week so far! We hope to squeeze one more mini blog post before this week is out so stay tuned! :D

Travel Destination: Salzburg, Austria

I've lost my voice. Really. I was trying to ask my husband yesterday to pass me a cup of water, but all that came out was a squeak. And that's when I started to cry.

I'm not normally like that, honestly. I don't burst into tears over something as small as that. But for some reason, in between all the burning pain each time I swallowed, and sounding like a chipmunk on helium, I felt miserable. And not myself at all.

And so, in an attempt to recover at lightning fast speed before my last few weddings for the year, I am prescribing myself a mandatory 48 hour lifestyle that consists of massive amounts of sleep, warm honey water, and catching up on as many of my favourite things. The first being, blogging :) - I know it is going to be a terrifyingly busy month ahead, but it is just 3 weeks away from the year closing and I am hoping to retain the blogging momentum as much as I can while I look forward to weeks of rest, time at home, and celebrating Christmas and New year with the loved ones.

So, here is me, doing what I love. Blogging. Enjoy my personal snaps from Salzburg, Austria. The land of The Sound Of Music - a musical I loved watching, while growing up! It's definitely a place I will love to return to, in the Summer, when the hills are donned with glorious sunshine, and decked with flowers amongst the meadows.

These were just some things that made my eyes and heart happy along the adventure through Salzburg that day :) Note: the first 10 photos or so were taken while I was on a train from my window, so apologies if some shots are exactly perfect.

The mountains really are stunning. Even in the winter.

We saw the first snow arrive :)

And we were lucky enough to see the sun and sky come out for about 5 minutes before it disappeared again :P

When we finally arrived in the city.

These were apparently the grounds where the Sound of Music was filmed. Called, Schloss Mirabell, these are the 2nd most popular grounds to get married on - IN THE WORLD. We have no idea what is the #1 place. If anyone knows, please tell me! :)

We then wandered into the shops in the old part of Salzburg. It was really really pretty!

Including the Christmas Markets that had started already :)

Oh and this cafe - Cafe, Furst - has some of the most DELICIOUS chocolates. Seriously, they cost 1 Euro - worth it! :D

And here is the famous Salzburg chocolate cake, from Hotel Sacher - the only cake that is a STATE secret!

This shop by Henri J. Sillam, peaked my interest because it is only open for 2 months in the entire year. Its apparently been around for ages. No guess as to how much each piece inside costs. Crazy!!

We then climbed the tower in Salzburg to see the views from above.

The views were stunning.

My husband and I, taking turns with the big camera.

Just some interesting things on the way back :)

Wilder Mann - best pork Schnitzel in town. It was filled with red wine, mushrooms, ham, cheese....mmmmm :)

Love all the Christmas lights! :D

And this last shot is not a creative one. Just wanted a happy snap with the hubby and I :)


Adios!!
