jj + tiffany // engaged

Spring has been great, has it not? NYC spring has been such a different experience from CA spring...I've loved it so so much. With spring comes shooting season, so things are definitely in full swing again. I always try to show as much work as possible on the blog, but honestly I have so much that I'm excited to share but just haven't had time to blog yet. I'm glad to show this lil snippet of goodness with you all for now though! I really enjoyed shooting with JJ and Tiffany a couple months back for their engagements. Tiffany suggested this amazing location which fit really well with them and was great to shoot at. So excited to shoot these two's wedding this weekend! Sending an early congrats their way!

jen + ben // wed

Here's a little peak into a wedding I shot for an amazing couple I connected with last year. Ben and Jen had thee most gorgeous wedding in the Carmel area of the central coast of CA. They live in Pacific Grove which is a little gem I highly suggest anyone go visit. I'm seriously trying to find an excuse to go hang out with them again. They are such great people...so fun, incredibly kind, and they have awesome style. Jen's dress fit her so perfectly and spoke of her chic aesthetic. Ben bought his suit which complemented his gorgeous bride's ensemble. Seriously, if you're in that area find them and become friends with these two...they're great. Today's Jen's birthday, in fact, so a big happy birthday to the beautiful mrs. bannister :)

spring roadtrip // lake tulloch

Totally out-of-the-norm post for me but I couldn't help but share. This past weekend I flew to the CA bay area to shoot some good friend's engagement photos. Jenny, Chad, his brother Adam, and I all road tripped to Jenny's family's house on the lake. A ridiculous amount of fun was had and we got some a-maaaaz-ing shots that I can't wait to share, seriously...ace. For now I thought I'd let you get a little sneak peak into our fun weekend of photo shoots, jet skis, and riding in the back of Chad's perfect road trip vehicle. I shot this all on my phone, crazy enough, but I loved the feel that it gave...sort of in the moment.

Shooting season has begun, it's gonna be crazy this year but I can't wait! So excited to have a part in all the awesome weddings I have lined up this year...so many great couples, couldn't be more thankful. Old friends, new friends, and all...

agnes + raymond // engaged

Here's a fun engagement shoot I did with a great couple in NYC from last fall. I had talked with Agnes and Raymond for a while over email and we initially were going to do the shoot in LA before I moved. However, a family emergency came up right before our Cali shoot that they had to leave town for which derailed those plans. So we ended up shooting in NY when they were there for Thanksgiving...easy peasy, no big deal ;) I'm glad it all worked out the way it did. We had a great time finding cool spots in the Brooklyn Heights area and of course thee bridge of NYC bridges.

How classy are they? Best fitting tux I ever did see.

heidi merrick // ss 2011

I always love shooting for Heidi Merrick and this shoot for the SS 11 collection was no exception. She recently introduced a Home collection which complements the Heidi Merrick lifestyle rather well I'd say. I love all the texture Heidi incorporates into her pieces...she really knows how to pick her textiles. The silhouettes, as always, were lovely. Enjoy a peek into Heidi's Spring 11 collection and feel free to check out her new site that recently launched here.
