hopeless romantic

Hello! This past weekend I had the great pleasure of signing on a de-lovely bride from New York. And I have a confession to make: Five years into this business, I am still a hopeless romantic when it comes not only to weddings and planning them, but also and mostly when it comes to my brides. While the rest of the world goes on with the knits and grits of a 9-5 job {and the mean bosses, annoying clients, and nosy coworkers that come with}, I get to roll out of bed in the morning, pour myself coffee, and spend my days chatting away with the loveliest of ladies {and gents}.

I recently had a night off {which seems like nothing but is actually a godsend in my busy little life}, and I took the opportunity to catch up on some shows I’d been meaning to watch. Among others, Cashmere Mafia. I know, I know, it’s ancient history, but you know what they say? Better late than never.

love me tender

Hello! The pictures from this wedding have been sitting on my desktop for a couple of weeks now, and I figured that if I didn’t write something about it today, I’d probably never get to it. Ken and Catarina contacted me last winter, for a small intimate wedding in Montreal. They were from Macao; it was a same-sex wedding; needless to say, I was on board.
