Tyson & Lena | A Wedding to Remember {part 1}

It was obvious from their engagement shoot (part 1 & part 2) to their Wonderland Engagement Tea Party that Tyson and Lena were a unique couple that settled for nothing less than extraordinary. Their Wedding Day was no exception. From custom made jewelry for the bride and matching cufflinks for the groom and earings for each of the 14 bridesmaids designed by the super talented Elsa Corsi, to the angel wings and organza dresses for the flower girls. Each groomsman received a custom engraved scotch glass, and the ring bearer looked adorable in his 3 piece suit and top hat. Not only were the invitations studded with swarovski crystals, but so were the beautifully detailed programs and menus. The whole day sparkled!

Here is the first half of their magical day.

I think one of the most special things as a photographer is that I get to experience so much joy through other people's lives. Capturing important moments is such an honor. Especially so when I get to know people from their engagement photos, to their wedding day and eventually when they start a family.

It was great to see you Kim, and meet your absolutely lovely little boy! Much love...

 

La Belle Juliette {Paris}

A chic hotel called La Belle Juliette recently opened its doors in the heart of Sain Germain des Prés, where the world of fashion meets Paris' most luxurious boutiques. I loved the eclectic mix of designs, from stacks of vintage books to new age photography, from velour chaises to luminescent wallpaper. Unfortunately, my room was just too messy to document, but here is a taste of the lounge areas.
