A Bushwick Fairytale

I am super excited to share a video I made for Patina Vintage Rentals 2013 Look Book. When Michelle of Patina told me they were creating "A Bushwick Fairytale" with the ladies of The Blogcademy and the crazy talented, Chellise of Chellise Michaels Photography I, of course,  jumped right on board for the shoot. Also on the shoot were design-stylists Adette and Erica of Tinsel & Twine which, for those of you who are unaware of the NYC wedding scene, are creative-powerhouse women that have been featured basically everywhere (Refinery 29, Daily Candy, and even West Elm's blog). It was a hot day in Brooklyn, but working with the all cool cats above (ahh, see what I just did there?!) made this a styled shoot one for the books! So without further adieu, here the video from the day.

The perk of working with the gals of The Blogcademy is that they all have their own personal blogs with a trove of fans! Check out more pics from Chellise (and my video!) being featured on Rock n Roll Bride, Gala Darling and Nubby Twiglet now.

currently working on...

This couple planned one of my favorite weddings of all time! No detail left untouched, Matt and Marisa planned a wedding that showcased their personal style and ability to throw a seriously grand fetê. I'm currently color grading this wedding with VSCO in lightroom, but cannot wait to get started on editing their beautiful day. The bride's dress... omg, just wait... It's incredible! Until then, enjoy a few screen shots of their day...

Featured on Style Me Pretty Living!

Warning... the following images will make you incredibly hungry and (hopefully) very inspired to get together with your girlfriends over good food and great conversation. Today a video I made (along with the work of my talented friends, Fourteen Forty, Amber Gress, Hushed Commotion, Lael Cakes and Chandara Creative) is being featured on the popular blog, Style Me Pretty Living. Last month, Patricia Kim of Fourteen Forty rallied a handful of wedding ladies together for an al fresco dinner party. This is what happens when women who love well-styled gatherings come together...  Watch the video:
