Allure West Studios in YWD Fall 2008
We’re proud to announce that we have been published in Your Wedding Day Fall 2008 Issue.
As you saw in a previous post, this past spring, Jung and I were asked by Michelle Barrionuevo-Mazzini of MB Wedding Design and Events and Beverly Yip of Especially Yours Chair Covers to photograph their 2nd Annual Promises and Pearls Bridal Soiree. This year, we soireed with the finest at the SF Design Center Galleria–a great raw space!
Some of the finest included Cake Coquette (my cohort in Project Wedding Cake), Glass Slipper Gourment, Hartmann Studios, Impact Lighting, Spiral Hand Floral and Event Design (Spiral Hand also showcased at the ISES Gala), The Flirty Guide (I took her profile shot and she’s definitely a top model!), amongst several fine others.
We’re looking forward to being blown away at the 3rd Annual!

Promises and Pearls 2008
A few days ago, we had the privilege of photographing Promises and Pearls, a bridal soiree, co-created by Michelle Barrionuevo-Mazzini of MB Wedding Design and Events and Beverly Yip of Especially Yours Chair Covers at the San Francisco Design Center.
This is part of one of the showcase tables Michelle designed:
Michelle’s beach-themed table:

I was especially drawn to this showcase table. It was a black and white theme loaded with fresh, spring greenery. The florals for this table were done by Leah Gagne and Rafael Campos at Spiral Hand Floral and Event Design.

The showcase tables were a collaboration between Michelle of MB Wedding Design & Events, Leah Gagne and Rafael Campos of Spiral Hand Floral and Event Design, Hartmann Studios (who provided the rentals, draping and accessories), Impact Lighting through Hartmann Studios, Marizette Paperie and Beau Coup Favors.
