I teamed up several times earlier this year with Binita Patel, and I’ve absolutely loved the results. This casual, playful couple’s shoot took place on a sunny day at the International Golf Club & Resort in Bolton, MA (the town where I attended high school, in fact!) Our bride & groom, Claudia & Brian, are a real-life engaged couple. Because Claudia is petite, Binita scouted out an adorable cocktail-length wedding dress from Pure Bliss, complete with pockets.

I used Claudia’s manicure as inspiration for her smoky plum eye makeup, complete with false lashes and peachy cheeks & lips to enhance her gorgeous freckled complexion. And I especially loved what the incredibly talented Maricruz did to her hair!
