so tuesday morning natalie watson (of watson-studios) and i woke up at the crack of dawn, and flew out to LA.  we arrived in la in the morning and had to drive to laguna beach, so we did what most girls would do, and rented a convertable.  we drove down the coast with the top down, wind blowing in our hair, and the smell of the ocean all around us.  it was pretty much awesome.  as soon as we arrived in laguna beach we went and got manicures and pedicures and then checked into our hotel.  we then went and stuffed our faces withe the BEST sushi i have EVER had.  i mean seriously, it was freaking amazing!  after dinner we were exhausted from our long day of traveling and took it straight to our hotel room.  i was so exhausted, but i couldn't sleep because i was soooo excited!  i know, i'm a huge dork, but the next day we were going to jessica claire's workshop!!  it really was just such a fun day.  jessica was so great, friendly, smart, and really just an open book to everyone who had come.  one of the things that we did during out workshop, was go out to a mock ceremony and reception.  
we had two fabulous models, gena and jeff, who were both so beautiful and so great in front of the camera.  the whole feel of the set up was very anthropologie, so you know, i was in heaven!!  i was so overwhelmed, i didn't really know what to shoot first!  here are just a few of my favorite shots and details from our little shoot.
