Fiona+Kevin

This has been an amazing summer, and I'm really lucky to have worked with such different couples from all walks.  As a photographer, it's my job to bring out the best in every situation, and to find the best way to document the couples day.  This day in particular had a limited location set, but it somehow ended up being a great way to work.  I'm used to running around from one place to another, and this day really all took place in their back yard, and it still has so much variety.  I loved working with Fiona and Kevin because their family was such a big part of their day.  Everyone really pulled together to prepare for the event, including some traditional dishes from their homeland of Trinidad.  It's nice to see how each couple does things differently, and this wedding was really modest in it's approach, but still had such a beautiful flair of color, celebration, and culture! 

Naturally Delicious

What a beautiful weekend it's turned out to be!   I would like to share a few images from the other  nights event hosted by Loren Michelle and her lovely associates of Naturally Delicious.  I know many of you are familiar with their brand and services, but going to to their space was a real treat.  The garden is a great place to host events, and they did such a great job pulling together the event even in this heat wave. The food and cocktails served up were amazingly refreshing, and thank goodness for the fresh mint lemonade.  I loved the chilled cucumber soup, and the watermelon, feta, and cucumber skewers are so up my ally!!  Nice job ladies and gents!  Thank you so much, and I look forward to seeing you all again!

Sugar Flower Cake Shop Event

Last nights event kicked off the opening of Castle and Pierponts new space at 164 Ludlow Street, hosted by Jen Kim Made and Sugar and Flower Cake Shop.  Catering was provided by Denton Events, whose decorative touch with the garlic scapes was a personal favorite.  Lindsey Jones set up a makeup booth and made up some of the lovely ladies at the event.  It was a nice chance to run into some old friends as well as make new ones.

Wild Horses

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting my friend upstate who invited me to go horse back ridding, and gardening, and all things that us city kids need to do on occasion to get a little country side relaxation.  It was such a treat because I haven't been around horses much since I left home in Santa Ynez, where they were pretty much everywhere you looked.  Now I live a city life and really miss those days of sunshine and nature adventures.  This was the perfect mix of outdoors, hanging with some kids, as well as a newborn horse, which was one of the best parts!  That little guys name is Freckle and he took a liking to me, so I had to get some shots of his fresh little face.  Between, the horse, the kids, and the dog, I really got to kick off my shoes and get my relax on, while also getting to shoot some really nice pics of my trip!

P.S.  Be sure to check out my friends event space located in the heart of Manhattan if you are looking for a great place to throw a party, have a wedding, or whatever else you can dream up!

Katherine+Pitr Real Wedding

I just wrapped up the edit for this wedding and wanted to share a few of my selects from Katherine and Pitr's upstate NY wedding.  We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day and the real treat was the beautiful pops of color that came from the brides maids dresses.  This was a true DIY wedding, and their personal style really comes thru in these kind of details.  It's nice to see a bridal party that is wearing all different colors and adding a real sense of celebration to the day!  The bride looked beautiful in her vintage style dress with a lily pinned to her side swept hair! Congrats!

Gary+Nicole

Good Morning Lovers! Young love is in full effect this spring, and this is the latest installment from Brooklyn!  Gary and Nicole wanted to meet up in Dumbo, so we walked all around and shot a bit at the carrousel of course, but I also wanted to make sure we got some of the flowers that are blooming all over the city! I love yellow, and wanted to make sure that the forsythia made it into our shoot, since it is the official flower of Brooklyn!
