Gabrielle's Atelier and Nicole Lisanne Weddings and Events by Design

 My friends, Gabrielle and Nicole have teamed up; joined forces; shared the burden; and supported each other through the grand opening of their new storefronts in downtown Campbell. They hosted an amazing, two-day launch at their new location and I was priveleged to have been invited to the event.

I first worked with Nicole and Gabby on the inaugural episode of Vendor Chic, my "blow-off-steam" side project that is both fun and beneficial for those who participate. (Did you know that the first three epidodes all got picked up by magazines?)

I've never seen such generosity from a gown vendor and meticulous dedication from a coordinator before. Vendor Chic was a strictly pro-bono project so no one was getting paid to do anything. In fact, many people had to actually spend money to make it come together. Maybe it's because it was my first one ever, but Vendor Chic: Vintage Cowboy still is really special to me. I think a lot of its success has to do with Nicole and Gabby.

Thanks ladies! And congratulations on the start of a new chapter of your lives!

Here are some photos that I took. (You can see more on my Facebook album here.)

Preston Castle Photoshoot, Ione, CA

Last week, I was invited by a group of photographer friends of mine to join them on a photoshoot in Ione, CA. Yeah. I didn't know where that was either. I Googled it and found it to be just east of Boufou, Egypt; in the middle of Nowheresville.

I shot a couple of photos for fun, but mostly I was there to film the adventures as they unfolded. (That's kind of what I do!) So here's the resulting video... part one...

Check it out!

Gabrielle's Bridal Atelier

If you're in the Bay Area wedding industry or if you've recently been looking for bridal gowns, you likely know of Gabrielle's Bridal Boutique. Well, coming soon, Gabi of Gabrielle's Bridal will be making some awesome new announcements about her company.

You might be able to deduce some of what will be announced from this post, but I got her permission to show you these graphics...

Most of you know that I have a background in graphic design and I used to work at a video game company doing 2D graphic and computer-generated 3D art. Helping out local wedding vendors and designing/re-designing their company logos is something I enjoy doing on the side.

This is the logo for Gabi's fabulous shop that she commissioned me to redesign for her! Here are the original designs:

Old

By updating the dress motif and redesigning the hangar while not altering the very recognizable script, I came up with the following new design:

Here is the full style sheet. If you're interested in having your company logo redesigned for 2009, email me or give me a call!
