Positively thrilled to see my client’s playful bridal session included in @jimmychoo’s #athomewithchoo roundup today.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Inspired by her love of designer footwear (including these beautiful ALIA pumps she wore down the aisle) and her zest for jet setting, we photographed the most delightful, sexy session.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our location really set the tone for this, together we picked a spot that evoked real Parisian vibes, a high rise loft overlooking the Los Angeles. The result was spectacular and clearly @jimmychoo thought so as well.🤍

Unique after party inspiration? Look no further! A

Unique after party inspiration? Look no further! After their wedding celebration dinner, this client invited guests into a downstairs lounge, complete with a hidden door in the wall that lead to THIS secret chamber. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Filled with mystique, this room wowed everyone with private tarot readings available and the opportunity to fill their goodie bags with sweet treats imported from Japan.✨

If our grandchildren pick up that iPhone 11 in 50

If our grandchildren pick up that iPhone 11 in 50 years now being used as a trendy, vintage office paperweight, their first thought won't be to look for your wedding photos on Instagram...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To be honest? They really won't know what to do with it. If they find your wedding album however, they'll immediately sit down to flip through and gaze at the start of their legacy. The fabulous 20's hairstyles (so many high skin fades + hard part comb overs!) and how elegant their grandparents looked will captivate them and pull them into your moments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So often, couples invest in the vision of their wedding day with design, vibe, and photo style honed in to the max, only to let the memories of their day live under their wedding hashtag alone. Don't let that be your photo story, let your vision come to completion with a luxe, heirloom album completely customized to your vision + vibe. Give those future grand babies something to really go gaga over. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our studio is now opening up our coveted design slots for summer and great news! We'll design and print your album even if we're not one of your wedding clients so if your own photographer doesn't offer albums, we'll take care of you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DM or email hello@sarahellefson.com to reserve your design spot today. Every time we announce, these get booked up so don't sleep on it!

Can we take a moment for the design genius of @shawnayamamoto and @simplytroy?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These two put their heads together when it came to this wedding celebration and the result was an absolute vision. Combining our client’s love of Japan, its structural design elements, the magical realism of video games, and an open air garden party setting, the details (like this tablescape) were jaw dropping. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The effort to surprise and delight our clients didn’t end with the event design, I ensured a full gallery of highlights that recapped the celebration was delivered quickly so our clients could stream a slide show with their nearest and dearest before everyone flew back home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thinking back on this beautiful day is getting me so excited for the parties to come!

I want a Sunday kind of love, you know what I’m talking about? Waffles, multiple episodes of Ozark, snuggling on the couch, and a sunny stroll on the beach.

Sending lucious Amalfi coast breezes to all you co

Sending lucious Amalfi coast breezes to all you cool cats + kittens this weekend. 🤍⁣
⁣
Photo from my stay at @hotel_santa_caterina photographed for @theperfecthideaway a few years ago when my husband and I took a belated Italian honeymoon adventure together. After our wedding, we had to cancel our honeymoon because I came down with the flu! Tragic at the time, but every trip we’ve taken since is initially labeled our honeymoon so trust me, we’ve been making up for it. ✨⁣
⁣
Along the way we’ve always found a quasi-legitimate excuse that the trip absolutely can’t be THE honeymoon. This wine is delectable, but is it honeymoon worthy? This Amalfi view is breathtaking but you know what would be a better honeymoon view? The fjords of Norway, don’t you think? This coastal breeze is just a little too warm for a honeymoon breeze, let’s look at flights to Hawaii. Let me tell you, we’re so well practiced at trial honeymoons, next time it’ll be perfect. ⁣
⁣
The only vacation that will definitely not make it on the honeymoon list ever again is Palm Springs. We’ve been there twice and each time, explosive fights that lead to divorce eyes on the road home. Don’t ask me why, not our city.🤣 A girls trip or wedding in Palms Springs though, sign me up! Timeee of my life. ⁣
⁣
Let’s dream our way out of this heat wave this weekend. What’s your divorce eyes city or dream honeymoon destination?
