I got to spend 10.10.2020 (the best anniversary date ever, right??) capturing Audrey & Andrew’s beautiful microwedding up in the Catskills at the Ashton Hills Estate! The weather was perfect, the foliage was at its peak, and they couldn’t have picked a more cozy spot to celebrate their marriage with their closest friends and family. After their friend […]

I can’t believe we’re officially halfway through 2020! WOW has it been one hell of a year. I think it’s safe to say that back in January, when we took time to set goals & visualize our year, we did NOT expect any of this. Just because this year hasn’t been turning out the way we […]

  The invention of Pinterest & Tik Tok has been both a blessing and a curse for wedding planning: it has provided an endless supply of inspiration and resources, yet it has created a tendency to copy rather than create, which tends to stifle true innovation. As a self-admitted perfectionist and overly obsessive planner, I […]

About a year ago, my boyfriend convinced me to get a smartwatch. At first, I was super hesitant because my mental image of a smartwatch was a techy, nerdy-looking, and not-very-classy gadget. However, when he showed me a picture of the Rose Gold Garmin Vivoactive 3, I was sold. After wearing the watch every day […]
