• Alexa, play 7 Wonders by Fleetwood Mac.🤩

In honor of renaming all of my wedding collections after Fleetwood Mac songs last night, I give you this Gypsy, Gold Dust Woman.⚡️

Seriously though I could live and die in this bridal suite at @valleyviewfarmwedding. 🖤Obsessed with all the moody, vintage vibes and treasures that make for bridal portraits and getting ready shots that Dreams are made of 🙈(see what I did there?😉).

Don’t forget to consider where you’re getting ready if you want to have gorgeous images for the start of your day. Bridal suites like this one, or nearby AirBnBs can offer so much drama, character and charm, and oftentimes are less expensive than the cost of a cramped and dark hotel room. Plus, consider extending your celebration with your loved ones and making a weekend adventure of it, all under one roof! 

Would you get ready here?

Double tap if you’re a Stevie Nicks fan! (She’s my style icon, for sure!) 

Hope you all have a magical weekend! ✨

  • “I was fine, just a guy living on my own,
Waiting for the sky to fall.
Then you called and changed it all, doll.
Velvet lips and the eyes to pull me in.
We both know you'd already win….”
-PATD, “Sarah Smiles”

I know they’re calling for 6-9” of snow this week, but technically it’s still fall,  right?  @maxierelaxie is not having these chilly temps, and frankly neither am I.

To warm my cold little heart up, I’m sharing this beautiful at-home engagement I shot with Sarah & Cosmo earlier this fall.  A part of me is sad that COVID and lockdown means I won’t be able to join these two for a double date night at Sparx, but I love the memories we made that day.

I spent about 5 hours (no exaggeration) at their home this day, as Sarah sipped Prosecco, and we swapped stories of the “joys” of home ownership, realizing we were basically (and not all that surprisingly) the same person, from our taste in decor to our love of orange and having husband that just about everyone loves- aside from the fact that she’s 6 foot tall,  red headed bombshell with major Christina Hendricks vibes, and I, well, am most certainly not. 

I felt right at home and probably would’ve accept their invitation to stay for pizza if I didn’t have another shoot I needed to get to, but one of my favorite moments was when Cosmo told me that when they met, “as cliche as it is, and I never thought I’d say this, I just knew she was the one.” 

My heart.🖤

If that’s not heartwarming I don’t know what is, and even more, I’m hard pressed to find many couples who are so perfectly matched in pretty much every way.  They say opposites attract, but these two compliment each other in so many ways.  And if that doesn’t warm your heart, Sarah’s smile certainly will.

Swipe for more smiles▶️▶️, and double tap if you’re loving the love between these two. 

Thoughts on an at-home shoot? Anyone else over winter yet?

  • Monday Mood... no seriously, Am I the only one that loves Mondays? 

I love the fresh start and feel most motivated and productive on Mondays. 

But if Monday isn’t your day, let’s start off the week right with something good. 2020 is almost over, and I know that’s something we can all look forward to. 

Butttt - I know lots of good things happened this year, and I wanna hear ‘Em! 

In the comments, tell me something good that happened for you this year that made you as happy as these two, and double tap if you’re ready for a new one! 🎉

  • You think two New Yorkers are going to let a still snow get in the way of looking fly AF on their wedding day?

Lydia and John showed tf up with their detail choices on their wedding day, but even more so with their raw and uncensored show of emotion.  I’m fairly sure they alternated between bursts of tears and laughter the entire day, and you better believe I was there for all of it. 

From their waterworks filled first look with their own personal hype girl and a cameo by Macklemore, to Lydia’s brother’s ceremony Princess Bride reference/imitation that brought the entire tear-filled house down, I can remember each emotional moment so clearly, even almost a year later.

So grateful to be able to capture these moments for my couples, and to have been witness to Lydia & John’s incredible nuptials.  It’s rare you find two people so perfect for each other in every way, and I would stand in the room with a hundred of their favorite humans (and many of mine!) again and again

Swipe to see a mix of the moments and the details, vintage and moody, tears and laughter, with all of their favorite humans - tiny pieces of the story of Lydia & John.  I couldn’t possibly fit them in 10 images, but here’s a few I think you’ll enjoy.

  • I thought I’d start the week off with something fun… Before and Afters! (Sharing again as IG funked this up last time)

Everyone loves a glow-up, and photographers are no stranger to a solid transformation. ✨

Beyond capturing literal precious moments, adding an artistic touch via editing is one of my favorite things and half the fun!

A few clicks, crops and straightening later and you’ve got a masterpiece. No one size fits all here, each image get’s it’s own special touch.

Swipe through see how I add some magic, drama and warmth to these cozy winter wedding images, and see how they’re doing and how they started. ⚡️
