The Sweetest Occasion

One of my all time favorite photographers Elizabeth Messina recently marked her daughter’s thirteenth birthday. They celebrated with a spread of cakes and baked goods, all topped with different candles and icings. Something like this is so so simple and yet so memorable and special. Who says a birthday girl doesn’t deserve more than one [...]

When Tori and Myka of Sitting in a Tree Events sent over this adorable doggie birthday party it was love at first sight. I’m a dog lover of epic proportions and seeing the cute way they celebrate their beloved furkids has me thinking up lots of ways to spoil our Nina for her birthday later [...]

When Sophie of Shine Little Light got in touch last week to share a link to a 40th anniversary party she thought I’d love, I knew instantly that I just had to share it with you. Karina and Ed recently celebrated 40 years of marriage with a party filled with so much love and so [...]

Happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone had a great weekend. To kick off the week I thought I’d share this sweet DIY wedding, shared with me by Sarah Danaher of Ampersand Photography.

Kallie planned this fun, colorful celebration in honor of her husband David’s birthday and I just love all of the vibrant Mexican fiesta details.

If you’ve been reading along for a while now, you’ve probably noticed that my obsession with calligraphy is no real secret. Well as of today neither is my love for the work of Patricia Mumau of Primele. Patricia is a fellow Upstate New Yorker and a wonderfully talented calligrapher. I’m currently working on a new [...]

We’ve had a beautiful, hot and sunny summer, but any local will tell you that fall in Upstate NY is just undeniably breathtaking. Which brings me to today’s real wedding, a gorgeous fall celebration photographed by my good [...]
