Paloma’s Nest

Sometimes I wish I had more time to spend putting up some of the more amazing wedding vendors I have worked with this past year. Some of the stuff going on in the industry right now is just pretty much a plate full of awesome. A few weeks ago I emailed
Caroline Colóm Vásquez of Paloma’s Nest and asked if I could throw some blog love her way. From a photographers perspective or at least this photographers perspective weddings are all about the little details. The more eye candy I have to get my camera lost in the better. Last year Kristy Rice from Momental Designs introduced me to her work when we all collaborated on a tablescape session and I have fallen in love with Carolin’s work ever since.

Be sure to check out her shop here and her amazing blog here.

Brides…. Get on over and check out her work. I would love to see some of these deigns in some photographs this year.

Springscape

Yesterday I had the opportunity to work with some of my favorite wedding vendors in NEPA. The collaboration and creative process behind such sessions give me such a brush of fresh air in a ridiculously busy schedule. I just love sitting around and watching some of my favorite peers have at it. It such a beautiful process to watch.

When I showed up for the afternoon I was introduced to the kindest man I have met in some time. He was knee deep in work setting up the table and bringing in all the items we were including in the shoot on his tractor. I could tell he just had this spirit about him I was drown to. As the day moved on I pointed my camera at him a few times….

I couldn’t resist getting a few quick portraits of him.

Every now and again as I began taking pictures he would head out into the woods and go fetch something for us.

I just kept thinking that I wish he was my grandfather.

The Momental Designs 10 yr Wedding Renewal

Kristy Rice over at Momental Designs had a 10 year reunion this past Friday and although I was not able to shoot the event on Saturday I was asked to come and photograph the venue the day before. The following is a sneak peak at just some of the details I was brought in to capture. Creating editorial storyboards is something I am getting accustomed to as magazines require this particular style for print. It’s also a style I really enjoy shooting for so I thought I would post a few collages I made for this particular event.

Hope everyone enjoys the vintage cream palate. I know I got lost in all the details…..

The cake was a Sylvia Weinstock and let me say I am a huge fan of her work.

Her cakes are legendary.

Happy 10 years to Kristy & Adam

This past week I collaborated with Kristy Rice from Momental Designs and Anne-Marie Scali from Perfect bound on a sculpted bloom session in and around Scranton PA. Both Kristy and Anne-Marie have incredible taste and contacted me about a month ago to begin the process of thinking about how we wanted to portray their designs.

Big shout out to my assistants “The Bryan” and “The Bradley” for helping me out with this shoot and taking some awesome images.
