I had the pleasure of photographing Giselle and AJ’s wedding in Los Cabos, Mexico a couple of years ago and now I’m delighted to be photographing their maternity session! Film is my preferred photography medium and it was so great to be able to use it for this shoot. Giselle and AJ have a beautiful apartment with large south east facing windows, so there was a ton of light.
Congrats to the lovely couple on their expecting their first, a baby girl! I photographed Giselle and AJ’s wedding in Los Cabos a couple of years ago, and now, their growing family!
There was such pretty light emanating from the bedroom windows on this cold and windy November day. The pictures were shot on Kodak film with medium format cameras.

These photos were actually from a trip we took in March after Quebec was hit with 5 consecutive snowstorms! However, since we just got back last weekend from Mont Tremblant, again, I was dying to feature Chandler's completed Time Lapse. His time lapse was a series of photos shot every 20 seconds, from a camera rigged in the car for our long distance drive.
Here is the time lapse, beautifully edited, at the end of this post.
Above are the photos from the cross-country skiing at Le Domain St. Bernard in Tremblant, Quebec.
Style Me Pretty published a post on Friday on the lovely and original floral arrangements of Hana Floral Design of Mystic, CT. The owner, Yumiko Fletcher, and I worked on thi wedding of Deb and Jack in Stonington, CT this past September. I’m so happy to see her beautiful work getting such wonderful exposure.
Brrrrrrrrrrr.
That’s all that I can mutter through blue frozen lips.
And this too: Estie Colis!! Qu’il fait froid!
We just returned from Montreal and from snowy Mont Tremblant where Chandler, Cousin Nathan and I went cross-country skiing on Sunday.
The views of snow-capped pines from the trails were beautiful, and of course I have so much nostalgia for Canada when I go back up to the Laurentians to ski.
It was literally 1 degree Fahrenheit (-17 Celsius) on the car thermometer when we headed back to NY last night. No joke.
No wonder so many of my childhood winter memories are of me in snow suits.
Needless to say, I was truly happy last night to get back to my overheated NYC apt!
Coincidentally, it was a pleasant surprise to see one of my favourite winter weddings featured on the awesome wedding blog: Style Me Pretty. Jill and Eric’s Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding took place last December up in Tarrytown, NY. What a gorgeous spot all year round.
Please feel free to take a look at the post when you can.
Chandler and I were late to the game…Yeah, we reached the Upstate NY apple orchard in early November, but we still managed to have a great time despite the low quantity of of apples and the high quantity of mud we got his car stuck into.
Thank goodness for rope (and Chandler's knotting abilities : )
More photos from this great adventure to come..
(We're off to Montreal in the morning to visit my folks)…
We managed to pat some cute ponies and spot an old abandoned pickup truck; I was able to bake an apple crisp from the 6 crispy apples I found on the grass. Not too shabby!
Deborah and Jack tied the knot on Sept. 13th at Deb’s family’s home in Stonington, CT. The reception was at the Wadawanuck Club, a few miles down the road.
I absolutely loved their Connecticut wedding location(s) and the wedding details. Here are a selection of my favourite photos from that weekend:
Here are the terrific vendors who helped make Deb and Jack’s wedding so great!:
Designer: Palazzo.
Deb wrote about her dress-finding process: “It was literally the 2nd dress I tried on, but I went through the whole elaborate Kleinfeld, Vera Wang process anyway, mostly for fun. I kept coming back to my dress, and as my mother said, I did a little dance every time I put it on, so that seemed like a good sign!”
Deb’s great green shoes!: J Crew.
Deb said: “…I actually searched long and hard for shoes, and was delighted to end up with an easy inexpensive choice (after a somewhat obsessive search for a specific pair of Pradas, and an interim pair of metallic hot pink sandals that I decided didn’t work). I wanted something with a burst of color, and that I might wear again.
Green bridesmaids dresses: J Crew actually did the bridesmaid dresses too-not to be matchy matchy with the shoes, but I didn’t want them to have to spend a lot of money on dresses, and it worked out because Ashley needed to change her size a bunch!
The awesome music on Saturday was by 747 Orchestra.
Music on Friday: Deb’s brother Elliott actually made a great ipod mix for Friday night.
Invitations: by Delphine Press, and ordered through Village Invites in NY.
Cake: Toria Dolce in Ashaway, RI. Deb writes: “…honestly I can’t even remember all the flavors, because I was only interested in chocolate with vanilla icing! I think we had choc/choc, vanilla/choc, and a lemon maybe?” (Deb, I can say that I tried a choc/choc cupcake, to keep me going at about 10pm, and it was delectable!)
Deb and Jack’s most memorable wedding moments: “Definitely the fireworks! And walking down the aisle with my dad and seeing everyone in the backyard for the wedding. Dancing was definitely another one of my favorite parts. And the candy bar with brown paper bags was meant to ‘recreate’ an old candy store from Stonington, Camacho’s, that I loved as a kid. I still love candy! I just had a fantastic time at the whole thing, and I’m so glad I have your photos to remind me of some of the details!”
How they met, from Deb: “Jack & I knew each other from growing up in Stonington, but he was younger so we had different sets of friends. He eventually went to business school with one of my best friend’s husbands, so we started crossing paths again, then we had a really fun summer of staying up late on the dock talking, and eventually started dating. He proposed on a run in Brooklyn Bridge park-we were on our way to Jacques Torres on a dreary February morning, and he totally surprised me-even had the ring with him!”
