Beth of Beth Helmstetter just opened her lovely event studio. I had the priviledge of celebrating this open house. Everything about it was perfect. It had an intimate feel with a rustic, organic, yet fresh and airy feel. Here are some images from the studio. Note that they’re mostly the sweet treats served. Yes, i am dessert driven! I am guilty! 
I’m here with Jacqueline Phung from Brides.com and destination weddings planner Beth Helmstetter.
I want to first say that i was very impressed when Mike contacted me to let me know that he wanted a photographer (me) to capture Erika’s bridal shower. Not many guys think about this stuff, do they? He just went above and beyond being a good Fiance, wanting to make Erika happy and giving her the best shower. Mike also stole the show at the end of the shower with not even being there. You’ll see at the end how he was able to do that with the images.. To celebrate Spring, i’ve added some spring like brushes on a few of the images for more festivity ! Enjoy!!
I love all the different expressions of Erika - she’s too cute:
The girls reading the “sexy” coupon books…I wonder which part they were reading… 
Mike got her a special gift and wrote some touching heartfelt words in the card that brought joyful tears to Erika reminding her of their very first date and what he had said to her in the car…..all the girls were awwwing and oohing and teary eyed with Erika as she read the card out loud.
I like this cute unscripted pose here…
Sorry, Kelly, had to post this one! Don’t kill me!
Check out these fashionistas!
Hugsss, Erika, thanks for letting me capture your special day.. I can’t wait till your wedding!
