Limelight: Ridge Wines

If you know Erin and I, you know that we’ve got a long list of things we love, but at the top of that list is wine. For a long time, my favorite varietal has been Zinfandel, and my hands-down-absolute-favorite vineyard is Ridge. These people simply get wine, and they craft some of the best zins around. I take that back. They craft THE best zins around. When we were up in San Jose earlier this summer for Keith & Janine’s wedding, we had the chance to visit their Montebello property just outside of Cupertino, and it was striking to…

Limelight: Jamie

Happy Friday everybody! Yesterday we introduced our first intern of the summer, the lovely Heather. Thanks for giving her such a big welcome everyone! Today we have our second intern of the summer, the spunky and fabulous Jamie. Jamie has always been up for a good time ever since we first met her a few years ago, no matter the place, people, or time of day. She’s has always been one of those people that is first to say yes to hanging out and the last to leave a party. In fact, if we’re ever hanging out late at night…

Limelight: Heather

There’s been a TON of activity around Casa de Youngren lately – heaps of engagement shoots, tons of amazing couples, and plenty of fabulously delicious details to keep our cameras satisfied for a long while.  And the best part? Our little office got a whole lot more awesome in the process… Why you ask? Well, because we’ve got two fabulous, amazing, incredible, lovable, sweet, and simply wonderful interns working with us right now, and they make me so happy I could just DIE with joy. When we asked for intern applications a few months ago here on the bloggy-blog we…

Limelight: Travel Apps

With all of the traveling that Erin and I have been doing lately, we’ve definitely got our routines down – we can pack in our sleep and going through the security line is an exercise in muscle memory that makes makes me feel like George Clooney in “Up in the Air.” So today I thought I would feature the set of iPhone apps that have been lifesavers in keeping us organized while on the go. After countless trips and kicking the tires on several apps, these three now play a starring role in our travel memoirs: TripIt, FlightTrack Pro, & GateGuru. TripIt The TripIt…

Limelight: The UNexperts

They’re cute, they’re fun, they’re fabulous. And they’re for reals. When it comes to blogging about style and fashion, a writer could easily hide behind the internet’s wonderful and scandalous veil of anonymity. What do I mean by that? Basically, we could all be taking fashion advice from a nun and never know it. But when it comes to the Villa sisters, we’ve got the real deal peeps. How do I know? Let’s explore that for a second… Meet Stephanie Villa. Again. Jeff and I met the wonderful Steph and Sean almost two years ago, and these two have never…

Limelight: Operation NICE

I absolutely love the blog world. If there was such a thing as “time” in my life, I think I would spend most of it reading all of the crazy cool creative blogging that is going on out there – but unfortunately I’ve barely scratched the surface with my Google Reader! So in order to even have a prayer of keeping up with my blogging peeps, I have a short list of favorite blogs that I keep up with regularly. A few of these blogs have made it onto our bloggy-blog before, but in my constant need to connect cool…
