Special Delivery from Justin Hackworth Photography!

SDC11055

At the end of the summer, my husband and I (and our kittens) got our family portraits taken by Justin Hackworth.  As Justin can attest, we are regulars, this being our fourth photo shoot with him over the last three years.  Since we’ve had rock-star caliber photos before, we wanted these shots to be fun, lively and playful.  That’s definitely how they turned out.

(10/14 Update: Justin just posted some more of the portraits on his blog today if you’d like to see more!)

We had actually completely forgotten that a book was being assembled with our photos and so when I received the call today, I was surprised.  Justin’s assistant Megan went above and beyond and hand delivered the book to us this evening.  Now that’s exceptional service!  The book is absolutely beautiful.

And it goes perfectly with Jill Vegas’s Speed Decorating book and Danielle LaPorte’s Style Statement book.

As enamored as we are with the book, the kittens couldn’t get over the box.

Justin Hackworth never fails to impress with his fresh photography ideas.  We have worked with him time and again and have always been delighted with the end results.  If you want rock star treatment and photos that will make people stop and stare — he’s your man.

Bolero jackets are a great way for brides to be modest without having to alter the original dress design.

Look Good, Feel Good

Would you agree that when you look good, you feel good?  I don’t know about you, but on days that I just don’t want to get out of bed, or I’m having a bad hair day or am feeling blue, it really helps to put on something that makes me look good because then I feel good.  What an easy pick me up!

Here are some of my favorites items from my personal look good, feel good collection:

My red Guess purse.

This was a gift from a lovely friend, Tina, when I left Vancouver.  It seems to have magical powers and attracts compliments from everyone which always makes me feel good.

My red Franco Sarto open toed shoes.

sdc18573

I splurged on these babies one year for my birthday and love them!  They’re perfect when paired with a red pedicure and the Guess purse :)   Red, red, red.  I’m sensing a pattern here…

My tweed hat.

Never underestimate the power of a good hat.  Hats are particularly useful on bad hair days or if the alarm didn’t go off and there’s no time to wash your hair!

Now that I’ve spilled, what is in your personal look good, feel good collection?  What’s in your closet that helps you feel good when you need it?

Wedding Wednesday: Kristen

kristen-lamp1

Each Wednesday, Cable Car Couture will feature another beautiful bride and her modest wedding dress. Kristen will be our first featured bride.

kristen-front-topKristen married Cameron in April 2008 at the Salt Lake City temple.  She wore a Casablance gown purchased from Mary’s Bridal in Salt Lake City, UT.  Her Casablance gown had lovely rouching and boning, very flattering to the waist, with intricate beading and an elegant row of buttons down the back.  While the dress was originally strapless, Mary’s Bridal took her exact measurements and Casablance customized the gown to be adjusted to her taste.  The measurements were so precise that whent he dress arrived months later, it fit perfectly.

Prior to the alterations, the Casablance gown was $600.  After the customizations and rush order, it was approximately $1100.

Kristen’s photographs were taken by the award winning Swenson Photography.
