Last night I filmed my last wedding of the year in NYC and now comes my season of finishing edits and then my hibernation as I prepare to birth another human being 😳🥰 (I feel both haha.)
Thankful to all my couples who invited me into one of the most important days of their lives and trusted me to capture their love stories! Thankful for what I get to do for you guys!!
Courtney and Tim will get to have the big wedding reception they dreamed about next year, but this micro wedding they had this past summer was pretty damn dreamy!! Here’s a snippet of their gorgeous Highlight Film!

Was on a bit of a social hiatus but in celebration of flying back to NYC this weekend to film my second to last wedding of the season I have to share last months epic celebration!!
A month ago Jeff and Taylor married in an enchanted forest outside of Albany, New York. I knew when we first Skyped almost two years ago and there were huge fireworks between the three of us that this wedding was gonna be special! Every detail was perfection and the vibe was absolutely epic! It was such an honor to work alongside this incredible team. (Vendors tagged in video)
Full film coming soon! Be sure you are following @taylorjphillips and @jeffodonnell as their Highlight Film will first be released on their Patreon account ☺️

Can I start every wedding weekend with a dance session lake side while popping champagne? 🍾
When I took Aaron snd Shannon out the week before their wedding for a sunset adventure session I said to them “just hangout while I get my camera settings right.” When I looked up they were already completely wrapped up in one another, kissing, playing, dancing and laughing. For the next two hours I rarely said a word of coaching, I just played music and allowed them to be totally them! Then a week later at their wedding not a thing was different these two were dancing, laughing and having a blast from the beginning of the day to the end! I mean when I heard their “send off” was a surprise pool jump I thought, oh this is going to be one hell of a party!!
So grateful I was able to capture this wedding bliss and these two incredible humans! My first Oregon wedding since moving back, and it did not disappoint!!

Putting myself together on a Monday like this! Life’s too short not to dance in your bathrobe and psych yourself up for the day!
Mine also started with a good sweat session at @orangetheory. Good Lawdy when I say sweat I mean rain! The best part is that this momma was running a bit late for work today so we skipped the post workout shower and just threw that hair up! I can still taste the salt on the sides of my lips. I have to say sometimes I don’t hate it, it kinda makes me feel like I just got off a boat on the ocean, with a nice sea breeze stuck to my skin. Keeping it real for you guys! How do you prepare for your day?

Drinks on me! Or that’s what I’d yell if I was popping champagne like @tgkruger and @courtkrugs! Am I the only one who gets excited for drinks on a Thursday night?! Lately my libation of choice has been a whiskey sour! And honestly I love making them at home the most! That way I can make em extra strong and extra lemony (I’m a big fan of citrus!) and of course to be a true whiskey sour don’t forget that egg white!
Here is my perfect whiskey sour recipe!
1/4 c. Rye Whiskey (I love @bulleit)
1 Tbsp sugar
Juice of 1 lemon (I told you it was a lot)
1 egg white
Put all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with some ice and shake the heck out of that sucker so you get all the frothy goodness, strain over a large ice cube and enjoy!!

Today I was feeling all sorts of nostalgic and emotional as I rewatched Corey and Bianca’s wedding film (yes even I rewatch your wedding films!) This is why I love when and encourage all my couples to write their own vows or at least letters to one another for the wedding day! You just can’t beat the romance, raw emotion, often times humor and laughter as well!
