I worked with Chelsea Suddes of Pearl Weddings & Events late last year for an elopement at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut and was blown away by her talent, style and design visions! She is sweet as pie and cares so deeply about her clients and their experience during their engagement and wedding planning process!
Read MoreFor some couples, a wedding planner is one of the first vendors (if not the first) they’ll hire to help with the planning of their big day. Other couples may not fully see a planner being a worthwhile investment for their wedding. If you and your partner happen to fall into the latter category, I want to explain a few reasons why you shouldn't quickly dismiss the idea of hiring a wedding planner! As a photographer, I’ve photographed weddings where a planner was on site and others that didn’t have one involved.

Read MoreShannon and Jamie share such a beautiful chemistry and sweet love story. They've known each other since high school and started dating in college. Throughout their session, Jamie would gently kiss Shannon on the forehead or softly take her hand as we walked around the university campus. It rained during the majority of their session, so he made sure that she was covered with the umbrella as we walked from place to place around Yale and even held her dress to avoid any puddles! Let me tell you, it was the sweetest thing!

This time we worked together was a bit different since I actually got to photograph her!! Let me tell you, she totally rocked her session!
Read MoreSome of you may know that Arturo and I started dabbling in the art of wedding videography last year. Though we've primarily kept our focus on wedding photography, I did have the opportunity to play a part in a cinematography project late last year at The Violet Hotel in Staatsburg, New York. This shoot was recently featured on Junebug Weddings, and I couldn't be more honored to have our video work on such a prestigious wedding blog!
