Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year, from all of us here at withGrace!

2010 brought so many incredible weddings and events! I got to add my family to the list! Sara & Branden's October wedding was my biggest by far and went off without a hitch. I will love you both forever!

My Dad got married this year to Heidi, who we welcome with open arms to the Hening family.

We also added to our family of friends with Cassie & Oliver's wedding, as well as Kim & Jimmy, who have the best kid, James!

I have to say I'm really looking forward to new adventures in 2011. We are heading to Hawaii, Santa Barbara, San Diego, and Mexico!

Simple & Elegant -- Holiday Centerpieces

I absolutely LOVE using water in centerpieces with floating candles for weddings, but they also work well for your holiday centerpieces!

Add anything you like to glass cylinders, squares or low bowls. For Christmas I like the look of fresh cranberries and a white candle, but you can really do anything from plastic Christmas balls, to holly, to flowers...

Here are some quick and easy looks:

Engagement Photos -- April & Nick

April & Nick met at UCLA while both studying medicine, so it was only appropriate they take their engagement photos there!

Here is just one sneak peak at the fun shots they took! Can't wait to see more soon, and for their wedding this coming April!!!

Happy Holidays from withGrace!

Some of you know I have a dog whom I LOVE. Her name is Layla and she came into my life three years ago. Each year I do Christmas cards with photos of the two of us, and this year I had the pleasure of having them taken by my dear friend, and one of my favorite wedding photographers!

Megan Stark is an amazing photographer and has worked a number of my events :) She does portrait shots as well!

Just wanted to share some of my favorites from our shoot up Runyon Canyon and in the Hollywood Hills!

My dad ties the knot!

I am very proud to get to share with you the wedding of my father Glenn Hening, and Heidi Ginter!
It was a perfect fall day in October. I have never seen my father so happy, and I am more than happy I get to share some moments from the day with you all!

A HUGE Thank you to Beth Behler for photographing the wedding for them. As always beautiful work.

And another BIG Thank you to the amazing vendors that helped make this happen

LOVE this, and I want one

It's always a daunting task for my brides to find gifts for their bridal party. Jewelry is a classic and always works best to have your girls matching on your big day, but how fun to get them a little clutch for them to use over and over!
LOVE these vintage inspired clutches by Beegee Bags !
Perfect for almost any themed wedding, with a huge variety of patterns and prints, you are sure to find one for each persons personality! As well you can custom order them to match your wedding!

Here are a few of my favorites

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are so very thankful here at with Grace for all the constant LOVE and support from all our past and present clients. A very Happy Turkey day to you all!

and um how cute for a holiday table??!!!
