“In case you missed any of the hoopla in the press etc, here are some of the links about Clelia and Blake’s wedding, from the proud mother of the bride – I mean, please, how gorgeous is the bride?:

Fiona and Chris
Fiona is the former director of photography at Esquire and Entertainment Weekly, as well as photo editor at Rolling Stone Magazine. Martin Schoeller built a set at the W Hotel for the family portraits. Here’s pics from this gorgeous New York Wedding and notes from Fiona.
Fiona writes, “As a wedding gift to us, our good friend Martin Schoeller offered to shoot our formal wedding portraits. Martin is one of my very favorite professional photographers and we were honored to be his subjects for the day. He built a simple set in the ballroom of the W Hotel and photographed us with our families, bridal party, and close friends. It was one of the most fun and intimate parts of the entire day – the calm before the storm! Raquel’s photos taken behind the scenes of the formal sitting are some of my favorites. She really captured the fun, excitement and adrenaline of the day!”
Runway Moms Clip
Here’s a clip from the show Runway Moms on The Discovery Channel featuring my photoshoots of model Beckie Klein’s pregnancy and family.
Beckie was the first to go for my series reportage. We met every three months to document the pregnancy culminating with the final shoots with Caleb one week old. You can also see some pictures with Keith (her husband) and Rye (her older son).
When starting, I had no idea this would be documented by the Discovery Channel. They loved the concept. The show was run 20 minutes but we edited it down for you. It’s Rye’s favorite video.
Big thanks for Bryan Sarkinen for the editing. We work together a lot, he’s a great videographer, check out his site!
Lauren & Adam
When I photograph a wedding, I love that I not only get to work with awesome couples and their families, but that I also get to work with incredible artists in incredible locations!
How fun is this wedding?!
One of my favorite places to work is Blue Hill at Stone Barns. It’s an organic farm located in Pocantico Hills, New York.
