One of the best things about being in the wedding industry is finding other vendors whom you just love to work with and collaborating together on all sorts of projects. In the past few weeks, I’ve connected with my friend Brianne of Brown Fox Calligraphy to help her photograph some of her beautiful pieces, and I also attended one of…
First of all, a big congratulations is in order for my friend Brianne who, as of this week, is now a full-time calligrapher! We met only recently through a mutual friend of our shared alma mater, but we hit it off right away, and we’ve been thinking up all sorts of collaborations ever since. Check out Brianne’s…
My thirtieth birthday party was half a year ago, but the celebration continues. After being featured on Style Me Pretty, my photographs got picked up for publication in this beautiful Australian magazine, Hooray! Magazine. It’s filled with large photographs, and I got three-and-a-half spreads for my images. There’s nothing quite like seeing your work… or…
What’s one to do when she’s dumped by her boyfriend of almost two years just one week after her birthday and two weeks before Valentine’s Day? Well, hanging out at her friend’s adorable pop-up flower shop is not a bad place to start. I don’t have much to say about my breakup or my ex. But…

I just love seeing a finished album, the perfect way of capturing a wedding story for generations to come. We created a beautiful silver silk album for Michelle and Xavier. It’s a 10×10″ size, debossed with their names and wedding date. Michelle and her mother share such a special relationship. I love how it’s reflected…
Friday night means… charging batteries so I can shoot two weddings this weekend! Ok, not the most exciting thing in the world, but it always used to be such a headache and an eyesore to track down enough outlets for all the chargers. I finally put together this super simple charging station, a.k.a. basket, which not…
Ever since I got my little office space this year, I’ve been hosting wonderful little tea parties for my friends and prospective clients. I recently fell in love with the idea of afternoon tea because of all the attention to detail and the care that it takes to put together all of the different treats and…
I absolutely love Mairin and Nikhil’s final products from their two-day Indian wedding celebration. We created a wonderfully large 80-page book to include as many photos as possible while still keeping a beautiful, clean layout. And in addition to their large 12×12″ album, they also created two 6×6″ mini books to share with each of their parents….
