Snazzy New Cards!

WOW! We just received our B-E-A-utiful new business cards! If you haven't checked out our new logo, these cards were designed to accompany the new look of Gavin Wade Photographers!

We've rebranded after less than a year and can't wait for this logo and our new card to be the carrier-pigeon for our business into the foreseeable future! You'll have to see it for yourself, but man alive are we proud to hand these guys out to our brides! Even our banker that we met with over the weekend emailed us, saying that he's had it on his keyboard for the past two days and people have been asking about it left and right!

We have to give a huge thank you to Zida over at Studio-Z Mendocino for these gorgeous letter-pressed cards! It was a total custom job, and Zida was so fantastic at working with us every step of the way. Even the boxes she delivered them to us in were amazing! I'd highly recommend her to anyone who wants to have their cards stand out amongst all others :)

Also, we need to give some love to Ross and everyone over at Flosites for their creative design of our logo and business card layout! They make sure you're completely satisfied with your design, and that meant the world to us!

Now without further adieu...

Laurie and Robbie: Engagement in Newport Beach!

"It's like they were meant to be together."

I can't possibly tell you how many times Erin and I have heard this phrase! And whether you believe in soul mates or not, there undoubtedly are times when you see a couple love birds and say "dang they are just two peas in a pod, those two.."

Well...Laurie and Robbie were matched with one another before even THEY knew about it! While they were still in baby teeth, Laurie and Robbie's parents were plotting, scheming, and for the most part just kidding around about how their son and daughter should get married when they're older. And for all you rebellious children, NO they aren't getting married just to spite their parents! haha.

They actually lost touch through the years and didn't reunite and see one another again until much later! And guys, Robbie will tell you, there's no better pick up line than "didn't we used to share juice-boxes?" Gets em' every time ;)

We had a such a great time with Laurie and Robbie! And thanks to a state park ranger who made doubly sure I wasn't a mass murderer rather than a photographer...we made it a multi-location engagement shoot! Robbie is quite the musician, so he brought his guitar and added a soundtrack for our afternoon!

So turn on your iTunes, or better yet, visit his Facebook fan page....and enjoy :)

Wayfarers Chapel Wedding: Lindsay and Joshua

"Time is too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love,
time is eternity."
~Henry VanDyke

Lindsay and Josh were married at the breath-taking Wayfarers Chapel in Palos Verdes. With the ocean breeze fluttering in, and their closest of family and friends in attendance, these two affirmed their faithfulness to one another! It was our pleasure and honor to be there; both families were so fantastic and truly came together to create an amazing day!

Lindsay and Josh, even in times of waiting, fear, and sadness, may the time you have with one another always be treated as a treasure and may you both look to one another for strength and encouragement! Erin and I are so blessed to know you and certainly treasured the privilege of capturing your beautiful day!

Here are a few moments in time we wanted to share with you; enjoy!
