For Japan With Love SF Benefit

Last night, Adm and I attended the silent auction fundraiser for Japan with Love in San Francisco. It was truly inspiring to see not only all of the local businesses that contributed goods, services and time to both the auction and event, but also to see how many people showed up to support the cause.  I mean, the place was packed!  I don't know the total amount of proceeds raised, but the goal was $5000, which will go towards funding 5 Shelterboxes, and I have a feeling it was definitely surpassed.  Here are a few photos from the lovely event.  All of the photos were taken by Adm.

For Japan With Love: Silent Auction

As another part of the relief effort for Japan, we are participating in a charity benefit next Tuesday, April 26, at Blu Bungalow in San Francisco.  There are tons of wedding professionals who are donating services and goodies for a silent auction where all proceeds will go to Shelterbox for the relief effort.  If you're in the area, please RSVP (it's free!) and come bid on some super cool stuff!  Some of the awesome bidding items include a make-up lesson by Jane Kim (for regular blog readers she prettied up all the girls in Erika and Colin's wedding last year), a couple of flower garlands by Ashley Meaders (this girl is a creative genius! and we hope to photograph a wedding she's touched one of these days), and prints by uber fabulous L.A. photographer Max Wanger.  We are donating two matted, framed and signed travel prints.  Check them out below:
