In The Spotlight: Martinez - Lombardo Wedding

Just posted in the Real Events section of my website are photos of a wedding I did in June for one of my best friends Holly and her husband Gus.

























The Lombardos got married at Eisenhower Park in Orange, California. Holly wanted a stylish and fun affair to reflect her and Gus' playful personalities. We carried out her vision by using black and white polka dot ribbon accents and bright orange, yellow and pink flowers! It turned out to be a beautiful day!











View more photos and details of the Martinez - Lombardo Real Event.




















If you think Holly looks familiar, you are right! She is also part of the Rebecca Calagna Events Team!

Photos were taken by Anne of Eye Spy Photography.

Bouquets for the Bride and Bridesmaids were created by Jenny B. Floral Design.



And to show you what a FUN affair this really turned out to be, here I am on the dance floor having a blast!

Amazing is the Word of the Day!

I would like to introduce to you an AMAZING photographer that I had the pleasure and opportunity of working with at the AMAZINGLY beautiful wedding of Jose and Jimmee Medina at The Guasti Villa...












Rachel Priddy captures candid, fresh, sophisticated photographs that are truly works of art. Her Bachelor of Arts in Photojournalism and 5 years as a professional photographer give her the knowledge and experience to produce flawless images everytime. However, it's her amazing personality and unique "eye" that has defined her approach to photography: shooting from the heart to produce captivating memories for a lifetime!

When she's not behind the camera, Rachel spends her time with her wonderful husband of two years, Mike Ohlschlager and their adorable Maltese, Bailey. Rachel enjoys board games, traveling and going gourmet camping with friends. They have six adorable young nephews and cousins and that's enough kids for them to love, for now. Mike was recently promoted and transferred to Phoenix with Diebold, Inc. Within a month and a halfs time, they visited twice, bought a house and moved everything. Rachel still travels back and forth quite a bit, so weddings and portrait sessions are available in Southern California.


Please visit Rachel's website and blog and view her AMAZING work!


While Rachel is still hard at work editing photos to load on Pictage, she likes to create a slideshow in order to give her clients a preview of their big day. Here is a link to a slide show of Jimmee and Jose's wedding pictures...


Check back for more photos, as Mr & Mrs Medina will be featured under Grace Amore's Real Events and on Rebecca Calagna Events' gallery!


Thank you Rachel ... it was a pleasure to work with you!
