I had such an amazing time photographing Stephanie and Ryan at their favorite spots in the city and the blossoming gardens in Brooklyn, there's nothing quite like New York in the spring! Thank you so much to Style Me Pretty for sharing this New York City engagement session on their blog, you can see it all here.

A Sonoma Destination Wedding, Nicole + Dave

May-17-13  |  Weddings








































I adore everything about shooting in California; the beautiful landscapes, the stunning outdoor venues, the farm fresh food, the vineyards and their wine, and of course the light... oh how I love the California light! Nicole and Dave are Manhattan natives (see their New York engagement session here) who share my affection for California wine country. They chose to celebrate their marriage with a destination wedding at small estate vineyard on the edge of Sonoma. It was an effortlessly beautiful and intimate event that we were honored to capture...

Behind the Scenes

May-14-13  |  Personal
Chad Keffer of KT Merry Photography
Every so often it's fun to turn the camera around and share a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes.  
As you may or may not know, my husband Chad and I work together as a team for all of our weddings and shoots. We are business partners, travel buddies, fellow photographers and of course; husband and wife! While day to day Chad is our office manager, when it comes to shooting he works as an assistant and second shooter and sometimes even more. I'm pretty sure in this photo Chad was not only carrying cameras, but also rolling and cataloging film, holding the couple's bag, and blocking traffic all while riding the couple's prop bicycle... needless to say, I definitely couldn't do it without him!

There are so many things about this wedding that made it one of my very favorites of last summer; the amazing pastel color palette, the couple's adorable chihuahuas as ring bearers, the bridesmaids bouquets in conch shells, the custom made sea foam green wedding gown, the middle eastern inspired after party to honor Sam's heritage... I could go on and on. Not to mention that Britt and Sam are one of the sweetest, most easy going and head over heels in love couples we have had the pleasure to work with. It was nothing but sheer bliss to document this gorgeous destination celebration!  
 
I can't thank Destination Weddings & Honeymoons enough for featuring this wedding in their June Issue (see it here) and Style Me Pretty for featuring it on their blog today!  
 
Thank you to all of the talent that made it happen...
