san diego

our whirlwind getaway to the 619 was a profound one for the books. we had very little downtime, but we most definitely took advagntage of it! here is what we did in it.

hung out at our friend's superad art house.

fed our bellies here. and here.

stared at the ocean.

watched this epic flick. got me all inspired.

got hooked on this series. except that i have zero time for television.

just chilled with some of our most favorite people in the universe.

it was an almost scarily perfect travel adventure. here's a few frames culled from the iphone and the mark 2. much love to san diego :)

black bear inn | editorial

got a call from the famous black bear inn to shoot some promo pieces for the inn and the new restaurant. dan and i have dined there and cannot wait to go back. the menu is fresh and seasonal. i've seen chef alex at the farmer's market, gathering bounty for the day's fare. his basil sorbet is to die for. i tried to copy it at home and pretty much failed haha. this gem is such a treat for tahoe. and the gardens and grounds are gorgeous. perfect for intimate settings. a romantic date night. or just because everyone deserves to taste chef alex's creations. here is the place to be in the know of what is new. now i'm all hungry. cheers :)

suzi + tony | married

i am so in love with this secluded beach house wedding. and this awesome couple. i hope we become friends and do backyard bbq's and ride moto together. we just felt so welcomed by them and their graciously wonderful families. i did not feel like i was working that's for sure. we didn't want to leave and in fact stayed late until the very last keg stand was accomplished haha. it felt very personal. maybe because they have a boy and girl of their own, same ages as ours. it was magic witnessing this beautiful little family evolve. and being able to document their story for them is such a profound honor. i am always and forever grateful for this. enjoy suzi and tony's perfect day...
