Laura wanted a vintage tea party look for their reception, and Andy designed and hand-built all of the wooden boxes that held their centerpieces. There's nothing cooler than when a bride and groom create something totally unique for their wedding that shows a little bit of who they are. Love it.

Coordinated by the outstandingly talented Leila Miller of Eclatante Event Design, with flowers by The Pod Shop in New Hope.

It's our first with the babe.

It's heavenly.

Hopefully you'll excuse me if it takes an extra day or two to get back to emails & calls.  
Here's why:

Katie and John had such a gorgeous wedding out in Wilton, Connecticut. Ceremony and reception were both at a beautiful private residence in town.  Flowers by the lovely Megan Greenberg.  Stunning dress by Amsale.  Dance floor rocked out all night by Heat from CTO.

Huge thanks to Katie and John for delivering one of the best cake cuttings I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot).

Love, love, LOVE this wedding.

Big thanks to my buddy Mustafah Abdulaziz for throwing down some amazing images with me on this one. If you know him, and you look closely, you'll see that he's actually in one of the shots below.

Meghan + Michael -- such a fun wedding. You rocked the train station. Plus, I didn't get run over by a train. All in all, a really good day. :)

Love, love, love this wedding.

Easily one of my favorite wedding images ever.  More to come very soon.

It's been a long week.

She's a toughie, though. Still mostly full of smiles all day, which I am oh so thankful for.

Yesterday in all of our sicky misery, I gave up on work for a while and attempted for the very first time ever to do Annika's hair.  I'm pretty sure it's no secret that I have no idea what I'm doing with her hair. It's entirely new to me, and I have enough trouble with my own hair as it is.....  And this stuff is tricky. Usually I just stick a tiny barrette in the front and call it a day.  Here's the thing....her little locks are super curly right after she gets out of the tub, but those sweet baby curls turns into a soft head of slightly intimidating wild black fluff approximately 15 minutes later....  Think a fuzzy q-tip and you've got the right picture.

But I was determined. I took out the tiny hair elastics and my comb and went to work. 

In hindsight, it's obvious that perhaps I should have come up with some sort of.... plan...before starting in. Or at the very least, an idea of what it was that I wanted to create.

I can see now that that might have helped.

Instead, we did things the way that they so often happen around here-- by the seat of our pants.  And truthfully, I kind of like it that way.

It's not perfect. It's nothing to write home about. But, I'm learning. And we both got lots of laughs out of the process, which is really all you can ask for on a dribbly nose sneeze after sneeze after sneeze after cough, cough, wheeze, and then biiiiiiigggg SIGH sick day.

More to come....

These pics were my second time photographing Miss Annie, and I swear she gets cuter every time I see her.

What a wonderful little spirit.

And her mom and dad are a HOOT. Congrats Annie!
