Food Fit for a King

Picture above displays food from the "The Kitchen"

When planning an event the food is at the top of the list. It's the one item that everyone looks forward to when attending a party. As you know, most of us drive to a wedding and the following words always escape our lips: "What are they going to have to eat?" ... "I'm starving! I hope there's good food." ... You rarely hear anyone wondering what color the linens will be or if they will have candles as opposed to florals. I mean, come on. Food or flowers? FOOD! Do you think I am correct on this statement? I sure do. So with that said, it is essential to pick out a catering company that is not only professional but has food that tastes amazing. I have a top two favorite list for caterers in Southern California that I absolutely love.

1. First and foremost, there is the catering company known as "The Kitchen." They are a more high end catering company located out of Pasadena. Can I just say AMAZING? "The Kitchen" recently catered a wedding that I helped with and all of the guests were raving about it. Not only was their food delicious but their presentation was outstanding.

2. Second, there is a catering company known as "Gourmet Gourmet." I absolutely love this company. I've used them over and over simply because their food is delicious and fun! They are a little less expensive and their food is a bit more layed back so to speak. They have exceptional service and their presentation is amazing as well. Doesn't a Martini Mashed Potatoe Bar sound so fun? Well, they have one so check them out!

Both links are provided below. If you have ever heard of either one of these catering companies or know of any other amazing caterers, feel free to leave a comment on your thoughts.

No I'm not a Photographer...

I've been getting a few emails from you loyal blog readers and I have to make things a bit clear. I am unfortunately not a photographer and I do not claim to be one. I know, bummer right? Let's just say it's not my forte. However, I do believe that I can make anything my "forte" so maybe down the road I'll be one? ... YEAH! Get it Girl! ... So with that said, until that day comes, I have several ridiculously amazing photographers I can recommend to you. That's right! Ridiculously amazing!

I posted "My attempt to be a 'legit' photographer" simply because I thought it was a fun night that ended with even more fun results. Therefore, I thought I'd let you in on the fun too! :) Feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Good, bad, ugly, any advice or opinions... Bring it on. BRING IT ON!

All silliness aside, I believe that with the right mindset and determination you can do anything you want. You just have to believe in yourself. You have to make a goal and go for it. If we dont have a goal or know where we are going... well, we'll always be lost. Choose your path. So all of you out there that want to be photographers (or anything else for that matter) ... Make It Happen! You can do it! I've written down my goals for this year and I can't wait to see how far I get and where I'll be this time next year. Think about yours.

My "attempt" at being a Legit photographer!

Last night I decided it would be fun to have "Girls Night" at my place with a few friends. Since our core girls group consists of 2 married, 1 pregnant, and 1 in a serious relationship we thought what would be more fun then putting together a "Professional" photo shoot? And even better then that, A MATERNITY PHOTO SHOOT! At the beginning of our fun night, I had the girls google a few pictures that we could use as samples. Mind you, in the back of my head I kept thinking to myself "I'm going to have a break out into FAME for how awesome these photos are going to come out. You got it Britt. You are going to go one step further in conquering the world... the Photography world!!!" (Yes, I really was thinking these thoughts). As I attempted the first few shots ... with Britney Spears on in the background, bad lighting, and NO experience... I was a little shocked at how aweful they were coming out! "Hmmm... these aren't looking like my googled pictures girls!" I couldn't let the outcome of a few "warm-up" shots affect me right? Therefore, I took a deep breath and proceeded on to attempting to conquer this photography thing! After about the one-hundreth picture or so I was getting the hint. I was learning fast that I was not about to make it BIG TIME in this realm of art. Photography is hard let me tell you! Thank goodness for photoshop though! Phew, I am saved! Below are a few of the photos I shot of Jenn. Not too shabby huh! Maybe, just maybe, with the help of photoshop I will indeed make my mark in the photography world! ... or not =) Hope you enjoy!

Twitter Time - Personal

So I've recently been introduced to the world of Twitter. I have to say I'm becoming some what of an addict. Why is it so much fun to network with strangers? ... Ok, not strangers. Other professional individuals that are in the entertainment/Art world of business. All I know is that once you start you can't stop. I find myself checking my Twitter profile every other hour or so... NOT GOOD! Help me! I'm a tweet-aholic :) So with that said, if we aren't BFF's already on Twitter, come follow me and find out what I'm up to. You know you want to! Look me up under BrittanyKalter.

Adrianne and Taylor Chapman

Mr. and Mrs. Chapman
Married January 3, 2009

Below are some pictures From Adrianne and Taylor's wedding. Adrianne is such an adorable girl with the sweetest personality. She beams with positivity and loves life. From what I've seen, it's impossible to be in a bad mood around this girl. She's exudes happiness through and through! As for their wedding, it was BEAUTIFUL! They pulled a "Father of the Bride" wedding and transformed her grandmothers estate into a fairytale wedding! Congratulations Adrianne and Taylor. Your fairytale has only just begun!

I am stunned at how breathtaking The Chapman wedding came out. Everything from the flowers, to the tent, to the chandelier wowed the guests.

We transformed the garage into the Reception room. It came out so incredibly beautiful. No one would ever believe that they were having dinner in a 4 car garage!

Adrianne chose hot pink and purple as her main colors. The flowers came out fabulous!
All floral arrangements were put together by The Glass Slipper Floral Designs.
