It’s become an annual tradition for me to collect small gifts along my travels and to gather them as holiday gifts for my wedding clients. I really love choosing the items as I go and curating these one-of-a-kind packages, never to be repeated from year to year! 2019 was such a full year for travels….
Connection From the start of 2019, I chose “connection” as my theme for the year. Connection is the heart of what makes us human, and yet, I so often resist it, setting it aside for comfort, introversion, and an attempt to protect myself through isolation. I wanted to push myself beyond that and to practice…
I love seeing photographs in print, especially in the form of these beautiful heirloom albums.

Their wedding reception was at The Plumed Horse, a two-star Michelin restaurant in Saratoga. Complete…

Carolyn and Cynthia perfectly balance one another, with Carolyn’s quiet ambition and grounded sense of self complementing Cynthia’s joy, energy, and charm. The two first met at their local Crossfit gym in Manhattan, and with a bit of thoughtful creativity (or light stalking), Carolyn eventually worked up an excuse for the them to hang out…
Between Denicia’s three jobs and Mark’s parenting and demanding job as a lawyer, these two might never have met were it not for the magic of modern dating apps.
