WOW it’s been a long time since we last posted on our blog! We have shot a bunch of beautiful and fun weddings and I promise to blog every single one of them soon!

I’d guess that the majority of our fans already know this, but for those who don’t, we have an announcement to make – as of September 10th Choco Studio became a husband and wife team! It still feels a bit weird to be a wife :)

For a very long time we did not know exactly how we wanted for the wedding to look like – but we knew from the beginning what we wanted the day to feel like. We both wanted it to be authentic, organic, warm, real, full of love and meaning for us.

We’ve possibly upset quite a few people because we didn’t want to do anything just for the sake of traditions, but only the ones that are meaningful to us, and ones that would resonate in our hearts. It was a bit difficult to go against the grain, but at the end of the day I think it was all worth it as the wedding turned out to be a true reflection of us.

We’ll be sure to share more with you in the upcoming weeks. I can’t wait to show all the details and DIY projects we did! :) We are anxiously waiting for the wedding photographs which should be ready (hopefully) soon!!!

And, because I’d hate to leave you without any pictures, here’s the inspiration board I put together during the wedding planning using pictures from different wedding blogs:

The images above have been collected from countless blogs and websites and we greatly appreciate the ideas and inspiration contained within them. We will be sharing our own wedding photos as soon as they are available.

Have a great start to the week!

You know what’s the worst thing you could possibly tell to a bride just a couple of months before her wedding? “Your big day will be here before you know it!” I won’t speak for everybody (although I have a suspicion that I’d be right) but 70 days before my wedding I feel absolute paralyzing horror. OMG, it’ll be here before I know it and nothing is ready yet!

Somehow during this winter and springtime we lost sense of time, it seemed that the wedding is sooo far away and we were enjoying looking at the different ideas, contemplating what would be nice to have for the wedding. The thing is that we absolutely forgot that the date is set and it’s time to actually start planning the wedding.

Now that we are finally in the active planning stage (well, according to a bridal planner, guide we’re running approximately half a year behind :) here are some updates:

We finally settled on the catering company and chose a whole bunch of super yummy stuff for the wedding!

And here’s the inspiration for the wedding theme:

(Yes, I’m a chocoholic and no, the wedding theme is not about chocolate :)

We are super excited about both the “Save the Dates” and our Invitations. They just got sent out a couple of days ago and I cannot wait to be able to share them on the blog :)

We are still looking for: an amazing DJ, alterations, and Wine Country based florists and make-up artists. All recommendations are welcome!

Have a great 4th of July weekend, everybody!

We were super excited to be contacted by SF Chronicle about their “On the Couch” column! It was a bit weird answering a lot of personal questions to a total stranger, but at the same time it was really great to see ourselves from another person’s point of view.

Here is the resulting article (click on the picture to read it on SF Gate):
