Allie and I are so honored and humbled to be included on the prestigious Los Angeles list of wedding photographers for Cake and Pictures. I mean, look at the list of photographers: Andrena Douglass, Becker, Yvette Roman, Robert Evans, Chenin Boutwell, Apertura, and on!

We are proud to announce our inclusion in the invitation-only Little Black Book of Vendors by Style Me Pretty. According to the Style Me Pretty website:

“Our members are a handpicked community of artistic experts. In an industry saturated with long lists of anybody & everybody, our book is the most thoughtfully edited resource on the planet: a refreshingly couture idea.

The process to become a Little Black Book member is actually quite extensive. First, they need to have been recommended by an SMP reader, a recent bride or an industry professional. We don’t simply look for a referral but rather for a passionate reason as to why a particular vendor deserves to be in the book. Second, we dive head first into the vendor’s business. Their portfolio, their experience, their time in the industry. We look at press that they’ve received, we chat with their industry neighbors, we get to know who they are and why they are good at what they do. For highly competitive industries, like photography, we also have vetting teams. An unbiased group of style savvy vendors who can fairly, objectively, and accurately evaluate other’s work.

And finally, after feeling completely confident that a particular vendor is fabulous, we invite them to be a part of our book! It’s an invitation only book that truly prides itself on it’s commitment to quality above all else.”

After a long process, we have been officially Certified by the Guide. What does this mean? From the Here Comes the Guide Website:

“Our goal is to represent only the best event professionals in the industry. In order to achieve this, we thoroughly screen all of the service providers on HereComesTheGuide.com. That means you don’t have to take a chance on some anonymous photographer or caterer. Every one of our vendors has been carefully checked out and Certified By The Guide.

Our rigorous certification process requires each vendor to submit 30-40 references, including wedding industry professionals and at least 10 recent brides. Then we contact each person and get their honest feedback. Only if the company gets a rave review do we accept them as a client.” (The link: http://www.herecomestheguide.com/about/certified-by-the-guide/ )

In our case, HCTG contacted 15 of our brides and 15 of our vendor referrals, and I must say, they did their homework. Allie and I are very proud of the honor and we are very gracious for all of you who spoke to Denise and the rest of the ladies at Here Comes the Guide.
