Brooke + Paul // An Historic Estate Wedding at Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie, NY
So, let me just tell you something: Brooke is one of the funniest, most charismatic, and all sorts of hilarious people you could ever hope to meet. There's something about her funny way that is so direct and endearing, you can't help but fall in love with her. I know that's how she first charmed Paul... ;)
Alexa + Joe // A Disney Inspired Wedding in Moonachie, NJ
Last year, I made a commitment to give away one free wedding package each year to a couple who had lost a parent. My mom passed away before I was married, and not having her on my wedding day with me was heartbreaking. There is so much community in loss. It's an odd community. A bittersweet one. But a community, nonetheless...
Emily + Michael // A Rustic Wedding at Hollow Brook Golf Club in Cortlandt Manor, NY
I think I must call everyone "dear" and "sweet." But seriously - Michael and Emily truly are some of the most dear people I have ever met. They are genuine in everything they do and take care of - their work, their families, their friends, their love. Even on her own wedding day, Emily scooped me up and made me feel welcomed and appreciated, all while scurrying around, gathering last-minute items, and hold a glass of champagne.

Okay. Now that you've been all up in my brain with my scaredy-cat feelings and my type-A planning tendencies, I'm sure you'd love to know the ups and downs of working on my recent styled shoot. Below are things that went REALLY WELL, as well as things that I could have done better. As Ben Sassosays, As you improve, we all improve. Community over competition, friends. :)
Sarah + Bobby // A Bright Wedding at McLoone's Boathouse in West Orange, NJ
Beckah + Josh // A Rustic Summer Wedding at Bliss Farm in Granville, MA
When I think of a perfect summer day, I think of Josh and Beckah's wedding. Everything about it was beautiful from start to finish. I could relive their day over and over - full of Jon Foreman soundtracks, lace gowns, dried flowers, mason jars, sparklers, twinkle lights, soft breezes, and open fields.
Ahhhh. <3
