Creative Vision Design & Photography:
Hi my name is Seanny and I'm the designer & photographer at Creative Vision, a design & photography boutique located in Orange County. Thank you for visiting my blog and taking the time to get to know me. I graduated from Woodbury University with a degree in Graphic Design and have worked in the Music/Entertainment Industry and Publishing world since 1999. But because I'm a true romantic, my passion was weddings, whether it was designing for them or photographing them.
Design can play an important role in a wedding. It sets the tone of the wedding beginning with the save the dates, to the to the invitations, all the way to the little personalized tag on the favors. Your wedding is all about you, the bride and the groom, and I can design everything to fit your personality and taste. I believe that every little detail is important, and it can make your guest feel how special your day is to you.
My love of photography began a few years ago when I fell in love with the photojournalism used to capture the event. Having been a bride myself, I know how important photography is to the bride and groom. My goal as a photographer is to capture all of the little moments, emotions and details, and to tell the story of the day through photography. I photograph a wedding, the way I would like my own wedding photographed.
Last Sunday we met up with my best friend Kim and her family and did a holiday photo exchange. We both photograph her families all the time and have the cutest pictures of the kids with our husbands, but we are never in the picture. So we decided to dress up meet up at the Irvine Railroad Park and do a little mini photo shoot with both of our families.
Here were a couple of my favorites from our family……..thanks Kimmy for the great photos!
Last year in August we had a summer Dancey Dance pool party for Aidan’s 3rd birthday. At the time he was still into watching Yo Gabba Gabba, and I decided that he had to have a Gabba themed birthday. With the cute character’s and fun colors, it was such a fun party to design for.
Party details:
• Yo Gabba Gabba character banner
• Brobee treat bag toppers
• Cupcake toppers
• Treat Signs
• Hershey nuggets wrapped with the character’s faces
• Gable boxes that looked like the boom box
• Muno cake custom made from Albertson’s
• Muno pretzel sticks dipped in red chocolate
• Plex jumbo marshmello’s dipped in yellow chocolate
• Jello cups with characters
We designed the invitations to look like the boombox on the front, open it up and you can personalize with your child’s photos, and invitation wording. Order these invitations at: etsy.com we also have a 5×7 flat card version of this invitations at: etsy.com

Jenna and Scott were married on December 15th, 2013 at Wedgewood at Glen Ivy. It was an absolutely beautiful and sunny day in California, which made the outdoor wedding perfect, even in the middle of winter….got to love California weather!

Getting Ready.
Scott is waiting for his bride.
The ceremony was emotional as Jenna came down the aisle with tears in her eyes and it was so cute as Scott helped her wipe her tears away.
The adorable flower girls.
Beautiful bride.
The Dapper Groom.
There were so many awesome locations to shoot at the Glen Ivy Golf Course, but we only had about 45 minutes to take all of the formal pictures, before the sun went down, so we had to be quick like a bunny.
Some of the details.
The toasts.

Last Sunday I met up with Jessica and Craig for a mini photoshoot. They will be getting married next year and theme will be vintage baseball….how fun is that! So to tie into the theme I designed some cute baseball ticket Save the dates, that I will reveal later on next year. But they needed a photo for it, so Jessica found a baseball field at Heritage Park in Irvine where we took a few pictures. In addition to the photo for the Save the Dates we also took a few family photos with Craig’s daughter Kayliana. It was a special family photo, since this would be their 1st official one. Check out the pictures below, and check out the slideshow, click here.

Noor was a really unique and beautiful location for a wedding. I loved the bar.
As another year whizzes by, I am amazed how this is already Aidan’s 3rd Christmas. It truly is awesome to see how much he has grown. He went from being a helpless little infant, that first Christmas when he was only 3 months old, to a 2 year old toddler than is starting to have almost a whole conversation with you about Christmas lights. As much as I always wish I could just win the lottery and strike it rich, I know how lucky I am in life to have such a great son, a loving husband and wonderful family and friends. I’m lucky that everyone is healthy this year and we get to enjoy another Christmas and New Years together.
So I would like to pass some of my luck to you and wish everyone a wonderful Holiday with all of your loved ones too!
On September 2nd, my friends Coleen and Matt made it official and got married in Lodi, California at Wine and Roses. I met Coleen through my friend Kim almost 13 years ago, and since then we have remained great friends. Coleen and I aren’t the friends that talk everyday, but when we do get together, we always have a great time. She was the friend that would ride the elephant with me in Thailand when no one else wanted to, or think it was a good idea to ride down the river on a raft…..and we would laugh the whole time doing it. When Coleen called me to let me know that her and Matt were tying the knot, I was so happy for her. They’ve known each other since high school and even after losing touch after school they reconnected after college and ultimately made a family together and are now husband and wife.
The wedding at Wine and Roses was perfect for them, it was beautiful and intimate, and we were so happy to be a part of their day. Congratulations Coleen & Matt…may your lives be forever full of love and happiness!
Check out the pictures from the day and to see more here is the slideshow.

So pretty!
The Groom
Their daughter Elise….isn’t she adorable!

Oh my goodness, I can’t believe another year has flown right by. When they say it kids grow up fast, they weren’t kidding! My little baby boy….not so much a baby anymore has just turned 2 on September 26th and we had a fun Bubble Bash for him.
I was toying around with some different birthday themes. I wanted to do something that I knew Aidan would like and was age appropriate for him but yet fun for everyone at the party of all ages. So I came up with bubbles! Simple and fun. I decided incorporate all aspects of bubbles….the bubbles we play with, bubble baths, and the popping of bubbles. I picked a color scheme and the rest fell into place. Check out all the fun details from the party.
Here are the invites. Even though bubbles are clear I still wanted lots of color, so I designed the invite with colored bubbles. You can order these invitations at: www.invitationparlour.com for matching favor tags, signs, etc, contact us at info@invitationparlour.com

For the dessert table we had a variety of treats that was associated with the word POP. Such as our Popcorn bar, Cake Pops, Tootsie Pops, and Rice Krispies Treats, because they go “Snap, Krackle and Pop” Of course we also had cupcakes and birthday cake, which I got at It’s A Piece A Cake Bakery. They have the best Black Forest Chocolate Cake. I had the baker make the cake in a aqua blue frosting and I added the rubber duck and glass balls I found at Michaels to make it look like bubbles. For the background I cut out various size circles and made the birthday sign with my Silhouette. I also hung a bunch of clear balloons on the ceiling too look like bubbles.
For the favors, I had bubble bath, bubbles, and rubber ducks all packaged into a cute little popcorn box.
Some of the other fun food items that were associated with pop was our popcorn chicken and soda pop. I also made a blue punch that looked like a bath with rubber ducks floating in it. The recipe for the punch is at tidymom.net
So of course for the kid’s activity I had bubbles. We bought a bunch of different bubble wands, and I had a bubble refill station, bubble guns and even a football that creates bubble when thrown. I also had a bunch of inflatable balls in the yard for the kids to throw around.
Aidan loves to dance, so we had the kid pop music station on.
Here’s Aidan with his cousin Kyan.
TWO!

You know almost a year has past if you see the Freeman’s family portraits posted onto my blog 
I have had the greatest pleasure in helping Lisa capture her family memories for the past 4 years. Not only is Lisa a client now, but she is truly one of my greatest friends.
The first photoshoot was Lisa and Nick’s engagement/first family pictures with Addison. I remember when Addison was just about Jackson’s age at the time. Now look at how big she is already! And Jackson was a just a newborn when we took his first pictures, and now he’s such a little man. We had a great time at the beach, and we have pictures to show for it. Check them out! Click here for more pictures in the slideshow.
Cute brother and sister moments.
Mommy’s little boy.

It’s Daddy’s little monkeys!
I love the funny face that Jackson is making in this picture.
When my business partner and best friend Justina told me that her little sister, Le My was having a baby, I was so excited for her. I have known her since she was just a kid and now she was having her own baby!
So on May 12th, we celebrated Little Mister Tavian’s one month birthday. In the asian culture, instead of having a big baby shower, they have a one month celebration to celebrate after their arrival. I’ve been wanting to throw a party with mustaches and bowties so I suggested we have a little man party. It was so much fun trying to come up with manly items to do for our food table and also cutting out all the mustaches and bowties. And of course let’s not forget the argyle pattern we had everywhere.
Here is the invitations we designed. You can also change the wording and it would make the perfect baby shower or birthday invitation. You can purchase these at www.invitationparlour.com
And here is the table we designed.
We had root beer, mini man-wiches, bow tie pasta salad, tiny tater tots, bubble gum cigars, candy cigarettes, candy mustaches, cupcakes, oreos, chocolate chip cookies, and even mini slim jims.
We had white bags for guests to put their treats in and we added buttons to them so they looked like white shirts, then guests got to pick out a bowtie to add to the top.
And here is the guest of honor, little Mr. Tavian himself
And here is the new happy family.

And Nayla & Briohny are making sure the mustache dum dums tasted ok
And here’s the little man in my life, Aidan, taking a picture with his new friend Andrew.
