XIYIN + PAUL'S BLUE HILL WEDDING

sarah and vik make a killer photo team. they've proven that time and again. that's why we chose them to shoot xiyin + paul's swoon-worthy farm wedding. 

put simply: this wedding was a fucking homerun.

we've always loved our time spent at blue hill at stone barns so when xiyin + paul said the words "cape", "floral mural aisle" and "photo booth" their wish was our command. 

add all that magic to the talents brought by our fellow vendors and you get photos like these. enjoy!

TORY + PRESTON'S ADIRONDACK CELEBRATION

the whole LOVE + WOLVES team died over this wedding.

here's why:

the adirondack league club was a stunning backdrop, the couple was beautiful and crazy in love, amazing family on both sides, their friends were a hoot (yes, i said "hoot"), gorgeous decor (courtesy of tinsel + twine), everything went super smoothly (thanks to fallon carter weddings), ash killed it on hair + makeup, natalie second shot and love was flying around EVERYWHERE. 

congrats again preston + tory!! you guys were tops.

enjoy.

PERRI + MATT'S INN AT WEST SETTLEMENT WEDDING

this was a special one, folks. you'll probably gather that from the photos on your own, but we figured we'd tell you why in this post. 

perri and matt are one of those couples whose love is so obvious and true that it's infectious. we instantly crushed on them when we met for their engagement shoot (gotta share those photos soon, too!). 

that love plus the people they surrounded themselves with made for one helluva good time. the inn at west settlement was the perfect backdrop for their love story. the moody overcast vibe didn't hear either. 

we're just so grateful that they chose us to capture the magic. thank you perri + matt. 

also, thank you to all of the amazing vendors below for making it all happen.

RANGEFINDER'S 30 RISING STARS OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY 2016

BOOYAH.

i'm honored to be one of rangefinder's top 30 of 2016.

i've watched the top 30 list come out every year since i started shooting weddings in 2011. i always wanted to be on it so badly. you can't imagine how surreal it was when i got the nomination email from libby (thanks, libby!). 

the guidelines were to tell a wedding story with 30 of your best images. going through 5 years of weddings (over 300) was one of the toughest edits i've ever done (thanks for your help, ash). i had to be brutal in choosing between some of my favorite photos of my career. below is the submission that i sent in after i was nominated.

huge thanks to: my amazing wife ash for believing in me at the beginning (and paying rent for so long), my family for putting up with multiple career changes until i found something that felt right, my early couples who took a chance with me, my current and future couples for continuing to inspire me AND finally rangefinder for this immense recognition.

congrats to all of my fellow honorees. i'm stoked to be amongst all of you.
