We ♥ Chuck!

Chuck Taylor that is! 

I love couples that hone in on their personal tastes during their wedding.  Every detail makes a difference so for Tuesday Shoesday, we’re going with no heels today!

Love this!  Plus. you can customize your own right HERE on the Converse site.
Reminds me of my dirty red I wore for my trash the dress!
I own 4 pairs and counting…who else loves Chucks as much as I do?

Vendor Spotlight: Clifton Photography

Rita Clifton, of Clifton Photography has ever-so-graciously allowed us to feature her amazing engagement and wedding images of this uber-hot couple. Monica and John’s engagement session was shot over two days, in multiple locations around Los Angeles. In the first series, they went for a relaxed and playful look.

Here’s a little bit about Rita…

“There is nothing more fulfilling than being a part of those first moments
together as husband and wife. To document love, emotions, and details is an
honor to be a part of. I find that my style reflects my clients who are very
chic, modern, and hopeless romantics. With each couple I look forward
to building a strong trust and long lasting relationship. Having that core
connection is important in producing amazing images.”

In their next session, the locations held more of a personal meaning to Monica and Josh as both a couple and as individuals. First, they chose Union Station for some old Hollywood glam feel. Monica is an actress so old Hollywood glam was just a perfect theme! Then they payed a visit to the Lucky Strike Bowling Alley in Hollywood, the place where they shared their first kiss.

Rita was also there to capture their beautiful May wedding at Rancho Las Lomas. They couldn’t have picked a more gorgeous venue. For those of you who haven’t been, this restored estate has a private zoo (yes, ZOO!), amazing architecture and gardens.

Rita’s images were all so beautiful, I had a difficult time narrowing down my favorites.

Two dresses? Yes please!


It’s pretty rare when you come across a person with incredible talent and come to find that they are also extremely sweet and humble. As such, I feel very luck to have found Rita Clifton, of Clifton Photography. Thank you so much for sharing Rita! Don’t forget to visit the Clifton Photography blog to see the rest of these beautiful images.
