I saw this family in a coffee shop and thought the boys were the sweetest I'd ever seen.  That hair...those eyes...  I'm typically a bit shy about my work, I am really never forward about being a photographer, but I gave their mom my card and said I'd love to photograph them sometime.  Such a briliiant family...

One of my favorite stories is about the time my mom and dad partied at Studio 54 with Mick Jagger and his wife...I can't remember which one it was - Bianca I think?...but it sounds rather glamorous and makes me think that this was a more interesting time to go out on the town.  I mean besides the gritty black and white photography, how many people can you recognize in this shot!:

Last fall, I came just about as close as I think I'll get to photographing one of these evenings....

Ruth & Ed's wedding has gotten some wonderful attention lately and I'm excited to share the massive spread that appears in the current issue of Brides.  8 pages - a photographer's delight!  This was such a sweet wedding - the couple was daring with color and the design from Meagan was full of whimsy.  Judy of Flora Fauna always provides yummy florals for us to photograph.

I used to live in Italy full time and it's always so wonderful when I get a chance to go back each year - sort of feels like going home for me.  I get to stop by my favorite restaurants in Florence, visit with old friends, shop my favorite album boutiques, and take in the Tuscan sun.  Tammy & Mark were married last summer...

I met Lindsay and Mark when photographing their wedding a few years back in Lake Como - beautiful couple inside and out!  I really love getting to photograph the new additions to my brides' families.  Olivia was such a cutie pie and made the best expressions.  Enjoy :)

This is a huge post I know, but there were just so many photos from this wedding I loved.  It was a foggy day at Dos Pueblos Ranch and although it had a different look from most of the glowing light in my Southern California weddings, I really loved the ethereal atmosphere the fog created.  I'll post more from the reception soon!

Planners: Keri Clavin and Lindsay Freylack / Venue: Dos Pueblos Ranch...

Every day I wake up and pinch myself because I love my job so much. Day after day of pretty wedding after oh-so-pretty wedding makes for a seriously amazing gig. But there are some days I have to pinch myself twice because the pretty just doesn't seem possible - and today is one of those days. I should have seen it coming, because anything Beth Helmstetter touches I die over, and read more...

Blue has never really been on my radar as far as favorite colors go. That is until now. The perfect shade of blue is making a dreamy appearance in just about every nook and cranny of this Charleston wedding. From the vibrant azure of the bridesmaid's dresses to the softest pale blue of the hydrangeas and it fits right in with this Southern soirée crafted from beginning to end by Tiffany Snyder of Loluma. One thing that has...

As someone who has been married for nearly 6 years (holy cow!) and as someone who sits in front of a computer staring at wedding gorgeousness for sometimes 10 hours a day (again, holy cow!), you would think that I am starting to turn a good shade of green. With envy that is. But the reality is that until today, I kind of assumed that I'd had my last hoorah. Unfortunately for my husband, today is that day that train of reasoning left the building and I am now on the annual vow renewal movement...

Corbin Gurkin is my hero. She gets to witness some of the most gorgeous weddings on the planet and the way she captures them is nothing short of MAGIC. From the boutonnieres to the first dance and all the newlywed smooches in between, ahh we are smitten kittens with each and every image. And this perfect gem is no exception. {duet} Weddings...

We always do a little happy wedding dance when Corbin Gurkin sends something our way. She's that lucky photographer that seems to score one gorgeous wedding after another, with details that are off the charts gorgeous and a sense of style that is always this perfect combination of timelessness and chic. And yet without fail, with every wedding, she takes that luck and elevates it to an entirely new level with her...

What afternoon would be complete without a total fairy tale shot by the fabulous Corbin Gurkin? These Antigua nuptials are the definition of dream wedding where 17th century ruins played backdrop and the coolest Guatemalan traditions were lovingly woven into this destination affair. Talk about one heck of a gorgeous city. See all the dreamy details in the read more...

Let me let you in on a little secret - I am starting to really love the winter. Winter weddings in particular, they just have a ethereal way about them. And may I just say, It could be winter all year long in my book if it looked anything like this absolutely stunning photo shoot in Maine by Corbin Gurkin Photography. With drop dead gorgeous floral design by read more...

Good morning lovelies. It is time to rise and shine and delve into a little French inspiration that is equal parts breath taking and le swoonable ... just how we like it. Corbin Gurkin, one of our absolute favorite photographers, was the woman behind the gorgeous images. She teamed up with some fantabulous vendors to create an ode to Paris including read more...
