This wedding is so amazing there are going to be several blog entries about it. You’ve been properly warned. Bride Ashley had so many lovely details at her wedding from incorporating heirlooms from her grandmother and great grandmother (her buttons and her wedding ring on her bridal bouquet) to her love of paper (including using vintage stamps), to the amazing food from her employer, Wolfgang Puck Catering, to the wooden dessert stands being from trees in the backyard of Ashley’s childhood home.

Photography by: April Rocha. See her full blog post here. Enjoy!

I especially loved that Ashley used 14 Etsy artists to make her wedding day especially unique.

Winter Wonderland, New Years Eve Wedding in 16mm Film

16mm Film is my favorite of all media to work with. Beautiful “winter wonderland” wedding created by wedding planner, “the Party Goddess”, Marley Macher, AKA “The Boss”. Photographers: The Becker & Jessica Claire. The bride is the “Farmer John Hotdog Heiress” and the groom is the head chef at the Dodger Stadium. Ironically, the Dodger Stadium is famous for their “footlong” hotdogs right, or Dodger Dogs. Guess who makes the Dodger Stadium’s “Footlongs”? Farmer Johns of course. I’m telling you, there’s a story here folks.

“Quote from Ceremony Blog” (below)

LOVE STORY

Laura and Patrick dated for seven years, traversing through college and their post-academia years together. From finals to job interviews to settling down, they stuck by each other through each phase of life. However, once Patrick proposed to Laura, they decided not to wait any longer. With little time to spare, they planned a sophisticated coastal wedding in two months. Their mantra became “don’t sweat the small stuff,” and by the time Laura walked down the aisle, they both knew this new chapter would be the very best.

LOVE NOTE

Snowy white orchids dripped along the ceremony path at this elegant beachside nuptial.

Andrew and Ivana booked Russell Fowler Studios to shoot their wedding in Super 8mm Film. I think they made a perfect choice having their wedding documented in this beautifully artistic medium. Andrew & Ivana were fantastic, hospitable and gracious. Not to mention extremely photogenic to the max. Every once and a while I thought, wow, this couple is more attractive and have more charisma in person than in any movie, tv show or magazine cover I’ve ever seen them in. I think the webster’s dictionary is right now as we speak, changing the picture for the word photogenic to one with them in it. Yep. So besides, having such marvelous subjects to shoot, and being involved in one of the most lovely weddings of all time, I must say, the Firestone Vineyards people as a whole are top shelf in my opinion. Tonya Szele, their wedding planner and recent former head honcho over the events and practically everything else at Firestone pulled it off in her usual easy-going style and grace. Jill Remy, the current on-site planner for all of Firestone Vineyards, teamed up with Tonya to knock this one out of the park, or “meadow” if you will. All I had to do was try not to faint from all the beauty filling my lens. It was truely a breathtaking day of shooting. They say pictures are worth a thousand words so here are some photos provided by their exquisite photographers “mi belle inc.” Enjoy. Oh and you can see a super fun aged clip by clicking on the picture below…….sooooo go ahead and take a look.

Thank you, Russell!

Warmly,

The Wu Tang Clan’s Robert Diggs (RZA) and Talani Rabb’s Four Season Biltmore Wedding in Santa Barbara August 29th, 2009

Russell Fowler Studios — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 02:11:55 +0000

Rebecca Gigandet of Imagine Weddings in Santa Barbara, asked me if I like Rap music, I said “yes I do”. She said good, because Robert Diggs of the Wu Tang Clan and finace Talani Rabb just picked me to shoot their wedding. Sweet! I thought, there’s gonna be Crystal and Hundred dollar bills flowing freely, I’m in! HaHa. Just kidding, well as it turned out, they were the sweetest most loving couple you could imagine. Very COOL, but sweet and loving. They honeymooned on a tropical island and took one of my Super 8mm Film cameras to document their stay. Enjoy a trailer of their wedding at Four Seasons Bilmore in Montecito below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8ODD1GEAn4

Hi Russell:

I thought you would want to see the e-mail Talani sent me below. Thank you
so so much for taking such good care of her. I would love a copy of the
wedding when you have some time to send me one.

Hello Rebecca!
How are you? I hope all is well. I just wanted to let you know that we just
received the wedding dvd and Russell did a wonderful job! He really captured
all the beauty of that day. I would highly recommend him to other couples.
Thank you so much for everything again.
Many Blessings
Talani and Robert.

“Thank you Talani and Robert”

Cheers,
