Check, check, and CHECK!

Free Engagement Photo Session with L & J Newville Photography... CHECK! We took pictures yesterday and had the BEST time! Everyone should go wine tasting when they take engagement pictures, because it makes things SO much more fun. However, beware of grass that makes Alissa have an allergic reaction (or something!) and little kids running through Mission Creek. I'll do a full update when we have the photos.

Bathrooms... CHECK! Complete with sink, running water, towels, soap, porcelain bowl, and air freshener (the most important part!)


Lighting Design... CHECK! Complete with string lighting, paper lanterns, bar lighting, and dance floor lighting. Uplighting on walls TBD. Also with an awesome discount (Thanks Cristina!). It sure helps to know the owner's sister! :)

Photographer... CHECK AND CHECK! (We finally took care of the contract!). Complete with 2 days of shooting (Wedding and (maybe!) a "Trash the Dress shoot?!), two photographers, unlimited photos in black & white, color and sepia, reception slideshow of ceremony photos, custom website of photos, DVD, and a wedding album.

I am obsessing over his photos, and just how amazing they are (all photos (c) Andrew Van Gundy):

This is at the Historical Museum!

Appointments at The White Dress, Marry Me Bridal, and Mon Amie Bridal for our girls weekend this weekend in Corona Del Mar... CHECK! Now I just have to find us a hotel!

I LOVE crossing things off my list! To do now: find a caterer, florist and baker!
