Share Article Christine + TJ // Chicago
This is what it looks like when two of the kindest people, from the nicest families, gets married. Christine and TJ made official what everyone already knew, that they are (along with Cooper) the perfect team! After delays, rescheduling and uncertainty their wedding weekend was SO worth the wait. Every moment was filled with beauty, laughter, tears of joy, and some impressive dance moves! It was an honor to be along for the ride and to tell their story. Special thanks to Kara Superfine Events for coordinating and planning such an incredible celebration. From the rooftop of J.Parker to Theatre on the Lake everything was perfect! It was a pleasure to shoot alongside Olivia Leigh Photography, and The Gold Coast All Stars rocked it and kept the dance floor full ALL night!
Alex + Stefan // Bavaria Downs
Alex and Stefan had to wait a little longer than normal to have their wedding due to recent events, but wow was it worth the wait! Even with a longer engagement their love, excitement, and friendship seemed to only increase. It was apparent from the first moments of the rehearsal to shutting down the dance floor at the reception - they were glowing! Tears of joy, laughter, smiles, hugs, and sick dance moves permeated every moment of this celebration. Seeing their film you would never know that the entire wedding day rain was threatening to move everything indoors, but Alex and Stefan were so completely in the moment and focused on starting their new life together. Then of course the rain stopped, the skies cleared, and one of the longest, and most epic isle walks ushered in a very special ceremony. Although dates changed, and there were a lot of starts, stops, and rescheduling, I couldn’t help but think everything was perfect and meant to be. Like always I could go on but their film says it better than I ever could. Congratulations to a truly incredible couple! Every detail, the decor, and even indoor pyrotechnics on the dance floor; the entire weekend was all flawless thanks to Lindsay and her team at Lindsay Piram Creative! Special thanks to The Minikahda Club and Bavaria Downs. It was also a pleasure to shoot alongside Nathan English Photography.
Hilary + Lindsay // Martha's Vineyard
What an honor it was to tell Hilary and Lindsay’s story. As an artist naturally some of who I am goes into each film - and I feel like this one is my heart. It exemplifies the best of us, love, inclusion, joy, progress, hope, and the list goes on. This is what I want the world to be and I am so grateful for Hilary, Lindsay, and their incredible families and friends, for leading the way. Martha’s Vineyard is pure magic and throughout the weekend we were given a glimpse of all weather conditions :) The drama of storm clouds on the horizon (and maybe even some thunderbolts) during the ceremony is something I’ll never forget. The backdrop of the island, all the details and venues were breathtaking but couldn’t compete with the love radiating from the happy couple. They are clearly best friends, the definition of a perfect match, and the world is a better place with them together. I have a million favorite moments from our time together but their film says it all - which I still can’t get through without some happy tears. Special thanks to Patrie and the With Grace team for coordinating and planning a perfect weekend. It was a pleasure to shoot alongside Randi Baird whose work is stunning. Congratulations Hilary and Lindsay and thank you for showing us how bright the future is!
Cory + Alyssa // Aspen
Cory and Alyssa are some of the greatest people you could ever meet. They’re incredibly kind, uplifting, and full of life. It was such a joy to be around them and to tell this story. They’re also huge Game of Thrones fans. Sure, their super sweet pup is named Maisie after the actress that plays Arya, but they took it to the next level by doing their ring exchange in Dothraki! However, the most GOT thing about their wedding was the epic backdrop of Aspen mountain. With the ceremony and reception above 11,000ft, and with perfect weather, every moment was stunning and felt like a movie. It also helps that the two protagonists are deeply in love and have surrounded themselves with remarkable friends and family. I have a million favorite moments from their film but near the top of the list is that if you watch carefully you can see the words “I love you” and other words of encouragement being spoken constantly. In-between kisses, first dances, etc their love and excitement as they formally joined their lives together was on display. Special thank you to Kate and her amazing team at Gold Leaf Events for a flawless and stunning weekend. Rabbi Sarick for a truly memorable ceremony. Thank you also to Hotel Jerome, The Little Nell, and The Aspen Mountain Sundeck. Congratulations to a very special couple and after googling some Dothraki I want to say Shieraki gori ha yeraan!
Nora + Jon // Scottsdale
The magic and light of the dessert southwest was only outdone by Jon and Nora’s love. They radiated happiness the entire weekend as they joined their lives together in Scottsdale, AZ. Their incredible family and friends played a key role in making this celebration so special. At every turn they were ready to dance, laugh, toast, and share happy tears. A very special thank you to Jenni and her team at Imoni Events for planning and coordinating a stunning and flawless wedding. It was a pleasure to shoot alongside Kyle John Photography. Congratulations to an amazing couple. The world is a better place with you two teamed up!
Catalina + Alex // NYC
There are 8 million people in New York City, but the way Catalina and Alex light up and look at each other you’d think there were only 2. The father of the groom perfectly summed it up saying, “as they pack up for this long journey all they really want, and need, is each other.” The merging of two families is always cool, but seeing them embracing each others cultures is even better. This incredible couple, and their friends and family, are the best of the best. Bright lights, full of joy, working to make the world a better place. Not to mention they are tough! I’ve filmed many pre-wedding workouts and group activities and they usually include yoga, golf, or maybe a light run. But Catalina and Alex are fighters and put the wedding party through some intense boxing drills. Despite the grueling workout everyone was still ready to dance, laugh, and celebrate the entire weekend. I have so many favorite moments from our time together but their film says it all. From wandering the streets of Greenwich Village, the High Line, downtown, to Mr. Chow, The Four Seasons, and absolutely stunning views of The Bay Room, everything was perfect. It was an honor to shoot alongside Evan Rich Photography and his team. Special thank you to Dana and everyone at Gourmet Advisory Services for planning and coordinating a truly magical event. Congratulations to an amazing team, Catalina and Alex!
