It's Fusion, Baby ! {Camp Pendleton Wedding Photographer}

So, I've been hearing about "Fusion" for a while (it's a mix of video and photography), but didn't really know how to approach it ! Then, at United 2014, the awesome Karen & Isaac Stott spoke on Fusion. I didn't get to hear their talk, but read the cliffs notes from other photographers and was super keen to give it a try. So here is my first attempt. At last week's wedding, I had my assistant photographer, Stacy, shoot short video clips and I interspersed them with my photographs for this slideshow. I'm a huge fan of this new, fun medium and can't wait to continue growing in it so I can start offering it to future clients !

Ashley & Brian's Wedding {Del Mar Beach Resort Camp Pendleton Wedding Photographer}

This adorable, pocket-sized couple met in their home state of Colorado, but not even Brian's living in California could keep them apart ! The dated long distance for a while before Ashley moved to California to join Brian, who was serving in the Marine Corps. These newlyweds are now off to start their new life across the country in North Carolina ! Best wishes to you and your two pups !

And here are just a few of their photos:

BellaDiva Baking - Trials and Errors {San Diego Wedding Photographer}

At the Shoot & Share United 2014 conference in February, Kaitlin Hebert talked about gifting your clients. I've been doing this for a while but just recently though about more branded ways to do it. Edible logo cookies sounded good ! And who doesn't like cookies ?!

The problem is that I don't really cook or bake that much. Cue the BellaDiva Mom ! She is always willing to let me destroy her house with a sewing, cooking or baking project ! My dad walked in half way through the project though and wondered why we weren't messing up the kitchen at MY house ! LOL
I ordered the logo frosting sheets from Edible Printing and got everything else at Michaels, except the ingredients of course ! 
By the end of the night, I was covered in sticky frosting and baking flour but he cookies looked cute. However, the border didn't dry and got all smushed and I ran out of pink sugar crystals ! So it's back to square one and Batch #2. 

Here's a short little video/slideshow of our evening !
