Lovely Bridal Shop is Coming to LA!

Tim — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:09:58 +0000

So we know it's been a while since a post. We have been adjusting to life back in LA... we don't really need all the sweaters and coats we bought in New York anymore lol. One thing that is happening with us is that our favorite bridal shop in New York, Lovely, is opening an LA store! They asked us to shoot a promo campaign for them and we had an awesome time shooting some epic LA photos for them. The hair and makeup was done by one of our great friends (and an amazing stylist) Aubrey Marie. She does weddings too!! Enjoy the sunny Southern California photos.

Royal Wedding Inspired Shoot with Ivy & Aster

Mer — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 17:05:05 +0000

This past weekend the New York City Bridal Market took place, and once again the star of the show was Ivy & Aster. Their Fall 2011 collection is an extension of their previous line, still dreamy and whimsical and oh so pretty! The flattering styles paired with gorgeous draping, and not to mention the must-have accessories, make these soft dresses into dreams come true. The eye-catching booth was inspired by The Princess and the Pea, a tribute to Kate Middleton and her upcoming royal wedding to the dashing Prince William. Which dress should Kate wear when she marries her Prince Charming?

To see all of the fabulous bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses, visit the Ivy & Aster website. And if you're in the New York area then head over to Lovely (our favorite bridal shop!) to see them in person and play dress up if your heart so desires!

Say Hello to Ivy & Aster

Meet Ivy and Aster, the sweetest new bridal line on the block. This Atlanta-based line of whimsical bridal gowns, ethereal reception dresses, and dreamy bridesmaid dresses is brand new and as of now it is only available at Lovely, but coming to other stores in December! We were lucky to meet Jessica, the designer behind these darling dresses, and she definitely embodies the joyful exuberance of Ivy and Aster. And I was luckiest of all because for three whole days I got to play dress up in these incredible cupcake dresses! I was the fit model at the NYC International Bridal Week, a market for buyers nation-wide to check out the designs of all the bridal designers. Being a fit model means that whenever buyers came to look at this collection, I was asked to put on all the dresses that they were interested in. I quickly found a few favorites, and I definitely didn't mind standing around in such soft, beautiful creations all day! Not only did I get to model, but Tim shot the promo pictures, as well as a few shots at the bridal market! We loved being so involved with such an amazing new line, and we wish Jessica all the success in the world! Bookmark their website or follow them on twitter for the latest updates!

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.

Isn't She LOVELY!

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.

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.
