I really loved photographing my sister’s wedding, which was just this month at Studio 450 in New York City. She had a small budget, so she enlisted help from family and friends to put the wedding together. Her friend designed the flower arrangements, my other sister put them together, her sister-in-law cooked the food, and I took the pictures. I …

I couldn’t sleep at all on the night before our wedding day. I had thought about getting flowers when we got to San Fransisco but it seemed like too much trouble (I can’t get around the city at all) and I called the …

I am not sure how I came across this blog, but I believe that finding their logo is an omen:

Seriously, someone’s trying to tell me to go with this orange blossom thing…so off I go for some orange inspiration!

Recently I have been seeing lots more oranges (or kumquats) used on tables or flower arrangements:

Oh Martha you have done it again! This little gem of a cupcake is adorable!

I would absolutely love to make these for a family BBQ, or for a shower or even at the wedding! I love sprinkles that come in all different colors. I wish I had a huge kitchen where I could keep sprinkles in all different colors at …

This past weekend I did a bit of shopping and couldn’t help but notice that several retailers have gotten in the first pieces of their Fall collections. Just typing this is getting me all excited – that means my wedding’s season is here! The more I think of cozy sweaters and wool skirts the more rapidly my heart …

Hello friends! This is my final post before becoming a MRS. I had wanted so much to share more details with you this week: centerpieces, signs, favors, sparklers, etc. But, not surprisingly, the week has just flown by.

I’ve let go of all of my concerns — about logistics and the weather — and am a calm, collected, and excited bride! …

I’m at that point in wedding planning where I’ve already made a LOT of big decisions but am not ready to tackle the smaller ones yet. So, there is nothing much to report except the lamenting to myself about my dress (that I do not yet have).

I’ve resigned myself to the fact I found THE DRESS and should just stop looking. …

I’ve put my face on a beauty regimen, which is something I have never done before.  I’ve always had pretty clear skin, which means that I totally neglect my face (I’m ashamed to admit that I used to only wash my face in the shower, even if I had been wearing makeup – yikes!).  I always felt pretty okay with …

This is my Dad. He’s pretty awesome. Recently at my sister’s New York City wedding, he wore this tie:

“Dad, where’d you get that tie?”

“Uncle gave it to me. Like it?? It’s the statue of liberty.”

“Yes…yes Dad, I can see that.” And then I proceeded to take his picture. His outfit (even though it was charmingly dorky) prompted my oldest sister …

Even though my wedding was more than a year ago, I still hear from brides every now and then who were inspired by one element or another from my wedding – and it absolutely warms my heart to know that my wedding played even a teensy tiny part in helping to inspire a fellow bride.

So when I heard from Heather, …
