So, a few months ago I received an email from PDN (Photo District News) saying that someone (STILL have no idea who) nominated me to apply for the Rising Stars competition. I remember reading it over & over & over because I simply couldn’t believe it. With the help of some critical eyes, I submitted a brief portfolio to them. Then, a month ago….a month ago (it’s been torturous to not tell) I found out that I had actually been chosen. I still can’t believe it. Honestly. To the person that nominated me…I will FOREVER be thankful.
Back in college I would read PDN (and still do!) admiring all of their featured photographers. To be included in this incredibly special collection of photographers seemed so far off but I had hoped that, one day, it would happen. Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of my work-you’re like family to me.

Recently seen on Snippet & Ink, I just had to share an extended version of Mia & Jared’s amazing wedding.
Ceremony location: Hamilton College Chapel
Reception location: Harding Farm in Clinton, New York
Bride’s dress: Anne Barge (from Lovely in NYC)
Bridesmaid dresses: Reese Jacobs (from Lovely in NYC)
Groom’s suit: J. Crew
Florals: The Backyard Garden
Invitations: Ellothere
Mia says: “Our ceremony was also really special to us. First off, being in the chapel on campus was very important to us. Jared’s cousin was ordained for the occasion and wrote such a sweet and beautiful script. We took readings from For Whom the Bell Tolls and our favorite My Morning Jacket Song and bagpipes played as we processed and recessed. We made it very personal and didn’t listen to any of the traditional ceremony must-dos which we were so happy for in the end. People we barely knew said they teared up during our ceremony!”
Mia sees her Dad for the first time:
Mia changed into a Sarah Seven dress for dancing:

I feel like it’s taken me forever to be able to post Meryl & Joe’s Brooklyn session but at long last, here it is! I could have photographed them all day and they are SOOOO sweet together. There is nothing better than wandering around New York City and Brooklyn taking photos. Enjoy them!!!
