Our Honeyversary Shoot

Mer — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 15:26:18 +0000

Tim and I got married just over a year ago and since we moved to New York right after we tied the knot, we didn’t really get a chance to have a nice relaxing honeymoon. Sure, we took the train across country to the east coast, but with our wedding and the move right after it was just so hectic! Dreaming of a getaway where we could lounge in the sun all day, we decided that we would celebrate a honeyversary! We went to the oh-so-popular and oh-so-awesome Ace Hotel and Swim Club in the wonderfully hot Palm Springs and we had the best time ever. We love the mid century feel that Palm Springs has. All of the houses look so cool and the decorations are so retro-cool! While we were there we swam in the pool for hours on end, bought out all the records at the thrift stores, and of course, we did a photo shoot!

We loved our engagement photos so much that we wanted to have a similar vibe with our latest shoot. We shot our honeyversary photos with a tripod and wireless trigger, just like before, and of course we had to keep our retro flare! We incorporated our love of the 50s 60s and 70s and took inspiration from movies such as Gidget, Beach Party, and of course Palm Springs Weekend. We found a really great vintage movie projector at a thrift store so we had to use that somehow…and I think it turned out to be so special. I’m thinking this might be an annual tradition :) We hope you love the photos as much as we do.

In California for Summer!!

This is more of an ego-boosting post, but we wanted to share :) We were recently contacted by Rebecca Crumley of The Knot to be featured on a segment of The Knot Live about engagement photos. We were thrilled to be asked! Check out the screen shots below and the entire video here. Now is a great time for engagement photos with wedding season rapidly approaching.

Isn’t She LOVELY!

Mer — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 03:24:50 +0000

Remember when you were a little girl and you imagined your dream wedding? You thought about who you would ask to be your bridesmaids (every girl in your fifth-grade class of course), who you would be marrying (Leonardo DiCaprio…duh!), what colors and flowers and flavor of cake you wanted…but most importantly you pictured the perfect dream dress. Last weekend we did an amazing shoot for Lovely, a new bridal shop in the West Village, and I was asked to model the beautiful dresses. Thanks to designers like Sarah Seven, Badgley Mischka, and Elizabeth Dye, I was able to live out my childhood fantasy! I went from wearing a fairytale princess ball gown to a gorgeous bohemian sheath dress to a sweet fifties inspired tea-length dress, imagining the wedding that would go with each dress (for some reason Leo was still standing at the end of the aisle!) It was truly an extraordinary experience!

Thanks from the bottom of our hearts go out to Lanie, the beautiful owner of the shop and an incredibly amazing person! She asked Tim to be the photographer and me to be the model and we could not have had a better team for this wonderful shoot. If you are in the New York area you MUST check out her shop! It is located on the sweetest little street in the West Village and you will feel like you are walking into a wonderland filled with whimsical gowns and ethereal hair accessories. I guarantee you won’t ever want to leave.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!

Today is the day we celebrate the day I proposed to Mer. It was only a year ago! We wanted to post a little collage of us over the years. We were high school sweethearts so here are all the pictures from the dances we went to together. They start in 2001 and go until 2003. Finished off with our wedding picture! Check out our awesome style :) lol. We had a lot of fun dressing up for these dances. I particularly like how I wore either Converse or Vans to all the dances AND our wedding! And Mer looks stunning in all the photos. Enjoy, and have a great Valentine’s day with the one you love!

Happy New Year!!!!!

Happy Holidays!!!

We wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday!!! No matter what you celebrate, we hope it is awesome!!! We are loving our first experiences in a city with snow! It snowed for the first time in Manhattan for the season this past weekend, which was also my (Tim) 26th birthday!! It’s really strange walking through a city covered in snow but it is exciting. See you in the new year!!

Autumn Bridal Shoot in Connecticut

Tim — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:23:28 +0000

So when you have a beautiful wife like I do it is hard not to take pictures of her all the time! This past weekend was no exception. We made a drive out to Connecticut because we had never been and we want to visit as many places on the east coast as we can before we move back to the west. The trees are almost all naked by now, but that meant lots of leaves on the ground! It was awesome. Mer put on a cute little teacup wedding dress and a giant bow and we shot some really fun photos! We hope you enjoy them.
