Fashion : Seeing Spots

Polka dots have a certain childish, whimsical stigma, but I think they can be fun, funky and downright ladylike when used to accessorize, or add a subtle surprise to everyday outfits.

Real Wedding : Lauren & Chris

Love was a major theme in Lauren & Chris' June Wedding at the Old Mill in Rose Valley, PA.
First, I love that Lauren's dress had pockets-and the beautiful jeweled belt. Love.
I loved that Chris could not contain his excitement about marrying his high school sweetheart.
I loved that Lauren's bridesmaids gifts were gorgeous multi-colored strappy sandals. I loved that Lauren's dad started to tear up right before walking her down the aisle, and that Lauren & Chris laughed the entire ceremony. I love all the little details, from the hand-painted oars to the hand-made wooden frames on the tables. And I love that on their wedding day, Lauren & Chris became Mr. and Mrs. Love.

Jubilee Inspirations : Color Block 3 Ways


I started with three completely different color-block dresses as the source of inspiration.
The First Dress, from Asos, is super modern and architectural, and would be perfect for an art museum reception, filled with abstract colored glass and bold, sculptural lines.

The next dress, from Mint Jodi Arnold, is contemporary but whimsical, mixing pretty cement greys with darling mustardy lemon yellows, just right for a sweet, simple, laid back Modern Country wedding.

Lastly, a romantic, elegant dress from Anthropologie with an embroidered lace corset and flowing seafoam skirt. Think relaxed upscale glamour, earthy natural bouquets of hydrangea, eucalpytus and mint, and touches of structured lace throughout for a classic affair.

Inspirations : A Change of a Dress Color

I love this simple, wrap style charmeuse dress from Halston Heritage as a starting point for inspiration. Here are 4 completely different inspirations from one dress, in 4 different colors, and coordinating bouquets/venues from Martha Stewart and Stationery from Milkmaid Press.

And sometimes, that means running around in your underpants.

Real Wedding : Sudeshna & Jesse

To say that Sudeshna & Jesse are incredibly kind, loving and generous would be an understatement. With infectious smiles and even more palpable adoration for one another, I was lucky enough to photograph these two college sweethearts on one of the biggest days of their lives. Without further ado, a few favorites from the Sudeshna & Jesse's Memorial Day Weekend Wedding at Winterthur.
For the first ceremony, Sudeshna wore her Mother's beautiful red Sari,
which was spun using real gold thread.

After a quick change, we traveled to the reflecting pool for the
American Ceremony with some Hawaiian flair, celebrating Jesse's upbringing.
