Ethereal Wedding Dress

I love, love wedding dresses with lots of tulle. This dress is no exception (and is by Amsale). Cameron makes a gorgeous bride!

Orangerie Table Setting

I love this table styling by Chelsea Fuss. It really feels like winter, with the burst of orange being so refreshing.

Happy Holidays!

Colleen — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 01:59:55 +0000

I meant to post yesterday and the day ran away with me… I apologize. I think this will be my last post for 2011; I have quite a few projects to wrap up, a class syllabus to prepare, and book keeping and studio organization to do – along with 5-6 types of cookies to bake, a Christmas Eve turkey to roast, a Christmas Day quiche to whip up, a Hanukkah dinner to host for my husband’s family, and hopefully some good down time relaxing in between with family and friends.

I’m looking forward to sharing more of my projects, ideas, goals, and inspirations with you all in this space next year… 2012, can you believe it? I’ll see you all again on January 2nd. Have a very merry holiday season!

Video Project

I recently was asked to be filmed & photographed by photojournalist grad student, Sarah Mongeau-Birkett. She needed to make a short video based on someone’s work and their process, and contacted me after finding me when I showed my work at SoWa. Here’s the finished piece! She did a great job and was awesome to hang out with early on a Friday morning (she was such a trooper at got up at 4:30 am to be able to make a train down to Providence!).

Sarah take gorgeous photographs and blogs frequently; for more of her work, check out her blog here.

Eunice & Dan

I am speechless over this wedding dress! Eunice picked the winner of all gowns for her wedding day to Dan. Wowza… what a dress (which is by Jenny Packham – the Eden dress).

Love, love, love these shots from Anna Allen’s new holiday lookbook. All the clothes are gorgeous, and I especially love the red velvet top!

Happy Friday

Colleen — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:04:10 +0000

I love the feeling of this photo (from almost a year ago, via From Me to You). It really captures the natural light from this time of year. So sad to have to change the clocks back this weekend; just means it’s going to get darker, earlier.

What do you have planned for the weekend? I’m busy most of today trying to wrap up projects, but thankfully I’ll have some good time with family for most of the weekend (including one of my favorite people flying in from Canada!). Hope whatever you have planned, you have a great first weekend of November.

While flipping through Li’s wonderful photography on her blog today, came across this cute photo from Merinda & Ben’s wedding. Love the lighting and tent, but also really love the bride’s dress!
