Joy and I are actually in New York all this week for Bridal Fashion Week and to shoot some new content with a few amazing creatives(more to come!), so it seems fitting to start off the week with a NYC wedding. Erica and Matt were married on a rooftop in the West Village surrounded by close family and friends. The bride wore a J Mendel dress in the prettiest shade of blue. Isn’t it divine?

Thought we would start this week off with a little shout-out to a great sponsor, Kirsten Manick Photography...here’s a few words from the talented lady herself!
| I live to explore and create. I strive to capture beauty found in everyday moments. My work is journalistic and I have a modern approach, but I refuse to get caught up in trends.
What I love most about wedding photography is the ability to slow down the fast pace and high emotions and to capture those fleeting and beautiful moments. You won’t find me setting up or recreating moments. You will find dramatic compositions, vibrant colors, and gorgeous light. You will also find me present from beginning to end, documenting, as your day unfolds. I love communicating, I like making relationships. Real relationships. You are investing in me for your wedding photography – I will definitely be invested in you. I look forward to working with you and documenting one of the most important and exciting days of your life. Based out of Las Vegas, Kirsten is available locally to all you west-coasters. But she also loves to travel and books worldwide! Contact Kirsten to create a custom package to accomodate you wherever your wedding takes you. Kirsten is also generously giving away a $500 credit towards a Renaissance fine art wedding album to brides that book through this sponsor post. Just mention the post when you contact her! Head over to her site to check out more of her beautiful work! |
I have to say this is one of the coolest letterpress invitations I’ve seen. It was designed by Julia Kostreva and employs a split ink fountain that was printed by Studio on Fire. You can learn more about it here. I really like the split ink thing…
