Andy + Katelyn

Andy + Katelyn are inspiring. When I first met these two for a drink in the East Village two weeks before their wedding, they had just put in their resignations at work and would be leaving on a year-long, global adventure immediately after their big day. Umm yes- you read that right... these two are going on the best "honeymoon" anyone has possibly ever heard of (starting in Paris!). Their wedding was also nothing short of inspired. Naturally Delicious hosted a seamless event and photographer, Katie Osgood, and I were there to capture all the fun. Watch Andy + Katelyn tie the knot at Jungle Design + The Greenpoint Loft below. Then be sure to head over to Katie Osgood's blog for all the photos.

Patina x Domestic Construction

Can they get any cooler?! Seesh! The ladies of Patina Vintage Rentals have done it again - bringing more of the COOLEST rental goods to brides in NYC (and beyond!). Check out this radical collaboration they just released with Domestic Construction today. I was lucky enough to film their collection when it arrived at their Bushwick studio. Take a look... and remember, it's ALL rentable... Tee-pee and all, yo!

An Oz Inspired Shoot Featured on Green Wedding Shoes

Fancy! A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to team up with a handful of uber-talented ladies on a styled wedding shoot inspired by the upcoming film, Oz: The Great and Powerful. It was incredibly fun to see our inspiration boards come to life on the day of the shoot, which was held at the seriously hip, Wythe Hotel (exposed brick, beautiful reclaimed wood tables, epic views of Manhattan, do I even need to go on?!). Today is a very awesome day, because the photos + videos were featured on Green Wedding Shoes, a bride's go-to blog for ideas and inspiration. Below is the behind-the-scenes video I filmed for the gathering! Enjoy. :)

The pictures from the day blew me away. It was the first time I've collaborated with Chellise Michael (and her talented assistant, Daniel Orren) who were serious photogs. I would definitely recommend them to any bride looking for experienced wedding photographers. Take a peek at some of my favorite moments they captured from the day...
