This last week wasn’t just a fam trip… it was late sunsets, big laughs, shared meals, and that rare kind of time where you actually connect, not just network.
I got to make new memories with some of the best people in our industry, the kind who remind you why you started doing this in the first place: creativity, generosity, high standards, and genuine care for the experience we’re all trying to create for our clients.
Grateful for every conversation, every moment, and everyone who made this week feel easy and meaningful.

What a week — Napa and San Francisco weddings back-to-back with this powerhouse team! Grateful to create, travel, and grow together. Every time we shoot, they bring their best — passion, creativity, and heart. We spent a few days at my vacation house in Arizona before heading to California, and now it’s back home to New York for more amazing events. Love this crew!

Ever feel like your creative vision is moving faster than the tools available to you? I’ve felt the same — which is why I’ve partnered with Arcana AI to teach AI in Luxury Events & Weddings.
Through both live and on-demand courses, I’ll share how planners, venues, photographers, and creative partners can seamlessly integrate AI into their work — not as a replacement, but as a way to elevate artistry, efficiency, and storytelling.
As an instructor, my goal is to help every vendor who contributes to these extraordinary celebrations push boundaries, craft richer stories, and embrace AI in a way that feels authentic and human.
