Embossed sans-serifs, a scrunchie, a black t-shirt, a silk wrap dress, sunglasses, modern statement rings, wistful country florals, and a vintage Citroen all converged in a 17th century former chapel to give new meaning to the Old English wedding rhyme “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.”
Shot on 35mm and medium format by Taylor & Porter. Dress by Kamperett via Bridal Boutique The Fall Bride. Florals by Ecru Floral. Jewelry by Completed Works. Venue and Catering by restaurant and retreat At the Chapel. Sunglasses by Bird via Truce. Paper Goods by The Letterist.

If, as the saying goes, a picture says a thousand words - then these beautiful images could fill an entire tome, and it was no easy feat having to select just a few to share in this post. Beyond honored to have collaborated on this spectacle of a shoot with the uniquely talented photographer Gradisca Portento, event designer and stylist Giulia Lazzarini, floral designer Mary Poppies, and bridal couturier Kaviar Gauche, all set upon the backdrop of a gorgeous villa in Tuscany. Be warned, they may inspire you to get married, move to Italy, buy a villa, and bathe yourself in orchids. Full list of creative credits at the end.
The invitation suite featured is one of our custom pieces, with all of our favorite things - a neutral palette, blind debossing, gold foil stamping, handmade paper, and the obligatory vellum band.

Having followed and greatly admired the work of Anne Ladegast-Chiu of Hilde Stories for years, I was thrilled to finally have the opportunity to collaborate with her on this styled shoot in London last December. What made this even more meaningful, is that it came on the heels of a long and unsettling year of wedding cancellations and postponements that had left us all somewhat weary and creatively unfulfilled.
We may not be able to celebrate at the moment, but what this project showed me, and I hope shows you, is that we can still come together in some small way…to pretend, dream, imagine, and hope. I am forever grateful to everyone on this team…for enabling me to close the unforgettable twenty-twenty on this golden and rather mythical note. A full list of credits is included below. A special thanks to Anne for her inimitable vision, and to Emilie for capturing it all. Love is always, in the air.
