Absolutely honored to have Jillian+Sean featured in this winter’s edition of the Knot. The couple and family were an absolute joy to work with. And this 4 page spread shows the amazing time, energy, and love that they put into the wedding at Meadowood… along with their dynamic team… Melissa Panico of MAP events, stunning design by Radeff Design Studio, an ethereal and magic video by Joe Serrato Films, A Day in May for the gorgeous collateral, immaculate makeup and hair by Sarah Hyde, and a perfect cake by Perfect Endings. I also wanted the opportunity to thank my amazing second shooter, Jessica Epstein, for her beautiful work as always. And we will never forget the “Miracle” Dress by Monique Lhuillier. We were thrilled to be a part of this amazing day in celebration of a fabulous and loving couple. xo
The first time I spoke to Mary Frances, I knew I was going to like her. A veteran in the fashion world, MF is a ball of energy, enthusiasm, and fun! Not unlike her product, Mary finds the humor in life and the beauty in design, her creations and aesthetics are like no other. Mary Frances designs for the exceptional woman; a woman who is successful, stylish, sassy, unique, and fun at heart. When Mary Kinney of Sister Brother and I came aboard, we wanted to bring a new look to MF to further along her audience span and the identity of the brand. We created a story based on two “real” fashionistas, who come together in the name of fashion and handbags. Yes, our gorgeous and ever-so-styling Mary was a model on this one too and the divine, Sandy Mandel of wear2where.com. The results… breathtaking and oh-so fun. And we cannot thank our amazing team and vendors as well. We couldn’t have done it without you, special thanks to…Kimberly Kalmbach of Bloomers Floral for set design and floral, Liz Bagatelos for makeup, Irminia Martinez for hair, and for the fashion: Christopher Collins Collection, Julius Clothing, SB Vintage Archive, Madam Butterfly, Franco Ferrini, and Hamilton Jewelers. And the biggest thank you to the talented and ever-so-sweet Miss Claudia Castillo Ross of Cross Marketing for allowing us to photograph in her unbelievably gorgeous home.
I met Liz and Errol over the holidays for their engagement session at Palace of Fine arts, suggested by Liz. I hadn’t been there in so long, but all of us were so struck by the beauty and strength of the architecture and grounds. And with the misty fog coming through the backdrop, I was entranced by the magic and drama that happened in front of my camera. It was a great day, as not only are Liz and Errol celebrating their soon to be wedding in Tiburon and San Francisco this month, but also their future daughter London Olivia set for delivery in May. I just loved combining the two shoots, and it was such a timely celebration with the holidays. Looking forward to a gorgeous wedding to be.
