Last fall we made our annual trip upstate to go apple picking. this time we brought the rolleiflex and a tripod and I’m so glad we did!
We had the pleasure of joining Colin Cowie to celebrate the release of his newest book Wedding Planner & Keepsake Organizer at Kleinfeld Bridal as well as join Colin’s “Dream Team” panel of wedding experts. It was such a fun night with some of the wedding & event industry’s best like Amy Atlas, THE Cocktail Expert Yusef Austin, and entertainment provided by the Troy Curtis Group.

Last April during a visit to my friends at Gabriella New York Bridal Salon I spotted the GORGEOUS Astrid gown from Jenny Packham and thought it was so incredible. Later that day as I went for a run in Central Park, I was inspired by all of the blooms that were making their way out of a long winters nap. Spring was here and instantly I knew I had to photograph this ethereal romantic gown under the blossoms in the park. Combining Jenny Packham’s Astrid with a men’s look that was just right proved to be difficult. I called my friends at Billy Reid and of course they had the perfect suit for the shoot. I share the same Louisiana hometown with Billy, and his clothes remind me of my roots, with such a relaxed feel. Pairing Billy Reid’s southern gentleman charm with Jenny Packham’s organic ethereal look was a wonderful match for a spring day in Central Park.
We were blessed with gorgeous light, and a location that provided a serene escape from the busy Manhattan pace. At one point the wind picked up and the cherry blossoms began to rain from the branches of the tree, as the couple embraced and laughed. It was a moment I will never forget and I am so grateful to have captured it on film.
Many Thanks to Style Me Pretty for their feature and to all of the talent involved with the shoot!
