Bright Technicolor Wedding at San Miguel de Allende - Fer & Sergio

Mar PierceSeptember 15, 2017

Mountain Top Vineyard Wedding - Paulina & Mauricio

Mar PierceAugust 9, 2017

SOMEONE, I TELL YOU, IN ANOTHER TIME, WILL REMEMBER US -

SAPPHO

All the San Miguel feels ☽

The bride’s parents own flower farms.
The groom works in gardening tech. 🌱 So needless to say, they have always been surrounded by plants, nature and love ❤️ for adventure.
They grew up in the same place and knew each other since forever, but as in the best stories, didn’t know they would end up together. ✨ That’s how their story began.
And this is how it goes on.
Today. With their wedding.
And a gorgeous invitation suite surrounded by nature, monsteras, bougainvilleas and a hand drawn heart made by the bride. ⏤
Details in your wedding should always speak about who you are and what you love. About your personalities coming together. Weddings are supposed to be unique, as YOU two are! My advice: don’t do traditional, do YOU. Always! ⏤

12 days till spring comes.
I’m counting. And so are my white ripped jeans slyly looking at me from my closet. Guess we both know my donut winter binging days are over.
Bring it on spring, bring it on! 〰️

It’s been a minute. 👋🏻〰️ Man I missed the writing, the sharing, the letting the words find their way back! Funny enough I’ve always been unable to think of images without words, without a backstory, so without the letter counterpart I was totally not myself. 💡 So writer’s block had me stuck on posting, just because somehow the words didn’t flow as they used to. I was amid crazy delivering wedding season, and had literally all my energies into it. Until I got word un-blocked. —
Because I somehow had to go back and pause and live the stories I was telling. Being that busy all the time wasn’t working for my other favorite creative outlet, writing. And that’s how one wintery sunday in San Francisco 🌁 got me unblocked. I’m still not sure if it was the mezcal, the Bolivia, the surprisingly sunny day, the record playing in Dani and Mikey’s house, the hike to Mt. Davidson or the oceanview lunch with my adorable clients at un-lunch hours. But I allowed myself to spend the hours, the moments, the flying hats and the missing vintage car in letting inspiration blasting back in. Just like that. And I felt like writing, and laughing and writing some more. Life has a funny way and I’m damn happy to be back!

I love to travel, and don’t get me wrong, I love that photography has me traveling more than I could ever wished for. But sometimes hotels start feeling just like that, impersonal cold buildings while I make my stay at room 4227. 🏢
So ever since last year, when destination weddings became 80% of my bookings, I decided that not only for personal vacations, but also for work, I’d take my time in searching for unique artsy, historic or just somehow amazing different places to make home away from home. Even if it was just for a couple of days. 🐚
And that’s how I came across Palihouse at Santa Monica @palisociety 🎷 Frank Sinatra’s quietly tunes in (I might have died of happiness right there) as soon as you cross the door passing the almost italian -with bikes and benches included- dreamy gardens. 🌳
On your left rich velvety green armchairs lit only by ambar stained glass and right in front of you a large living room area with both vintage and modern trends, made for reading, scotch drinking, life planning and just letting yourself get lost in this 1920’s moorish inspired manor. If I was ever to write a book, I’d do it sitting there, out in the terrace with a cup of tea beneath tall trees and the cool breeze coming in from the Pacific.
I could go on and on about Palihouse, from the nostalgic creaking wooden stairs, to the old elevator, the gorgeous wallpaper, the intensity of it’s shadows and deep colors, the amazing staff that works there, but most of all how they really make you feel at home. 🎼🛎 I actually felt like as if I was inside an Old Hollywood movie, just living my days there. ✨
Check out my stories to see more about Palihouse and my upcoming hotel tours while wedding travelin’ ❤️

We drove to Pacific Beach and parked too far. But the truth is we didn’t mind walking. We never have. 🌴 Even as we carried so much stuff around, we laughed and complained as we crossed the big palm avenue just before the wooden deck. 🐚 Just an hour before sunset, and we’d somehow made it there. The three of us. With a free afternoon, our yearly California summer and way too much things to talk about. I took out my camera and went for the warm sandy light. I went for the ocean and the surfers. And the quiet waves and also the noisy ones. I went for stopping time and spending the day with my high school friends, shooting beaches and sunsets and white dresses and a dancing bride. ☀️We ended up carrying pounds of sand into the car, all soaked up and happy, and hungry till we finally got downtown. We lost out parking ticket, changed clothes inside the car and had drinks on the corner of Kettner with the rest of our friends that Friday our hair went humid, huge and wild. 🍷 So a photo is not just a photo, but an image that triggers all that, a story, a moment, a whole lot of something. Those somethings worth sharing and telling and smiling about ❤️.

He knew what he was doing, but still I held my breath. Back flipping in an LA rooftop just came natural to him, just as loving her. 🖤
And she smiled because she knew. About his acrobatic bae and about how much he rocked her world.
FYI. No future groom was harmed in the making of this pic, but me? I almost screeched with awe, for so much adrenaline from this roof jumper totally blew mi mind 💥! I might even try sky diving now! Might. Someday. One day. No. I’ll stick to watching others jump. On my couch, on the TV. Is there a jumping Netflix show?

If I could get all of my favorite things in a picture I would. But cramming my bae 🚶🏻‍♂️, my dogs 🐶 at home, all the colors in the world, a massive order of french fries🍟, a flowery garden 🌿 and laughter you could actually hear amid that beautiful chaos, would be pretty hard to do. Specially if you think we would all be trying to get those fries.
But this week I got kinda close to that, by opening up a creative window through learning something new. Something colorful, happy and beautiful. And 🌷flowery indeed.
I spent this week with amazing people who love art, who understand the quiet magic of aesthetics and the subtle balance of patience while creating. And you know what, I enjoyed every minute of it. Of unplugging, of carefully watching and learning to let go of strict forms. For flowers should run free and be placed where we feel like it. Like art should. Where technique is always learned, but practice and intuition end up leading our own way. Flowers like photography, like all creative roads.
And I have to say between learning all that, spending time with my bae, laughing with my nieces and sister, eating not fries but a pizza and sushi overload, and finding out Carmelo (pictured) was a perfect model for our just finished flower installation really made it all just perfect.
A beautiful chaos. Like the ones I like. With laughter all around. 🌾

I laughed 90% of the time during this wedding. Even during the ceremony when a few drops of rain fell down and Alex and Julia laughed the silly rain away. ☔️I laughed during portraits, and at the groom’s brothers hilarious toasts, and also when grandpa decided to stick the official wedding tattoo on his belly.
I enjoyed every single time Alex made Julia smile, and loved the special way they seemed to be connected by happiness, high energy and their contagious joie de vivre. ❤️ I spent over 8 hours sharing the wedding with them, and you know what? It never felt like work. It never does when clients live life like this, highly, fully and magically. Long live happy people like them!
