Vendors I Love - WANDERMORE PHOTOGRAPHY

I met Michelle Chriqui from Wandermore Photography at #theloveunion event at 501 Union a few weeks ago. We sat across from each other at the yummy lunch provided by Talde that day. We decided to grab some coffee up in Washington Heights this past week and share war stories. I really appreciated Michelle's passion when she spoke about her clients. Like me, she is largely self-taught and gosh, she's doing her homework! Wandermore is lead by Michelle and her business partner, Towfig Ahmed. Without further ado, I'd love to introduce Michelle Chriqui!

Vendors I Love - NEW YORK WEDDING FILMS

I had the honor of working with Alex last Summer. It was my first out of town wedding, and the highlight video Alex and his editor created captured the true essence of the couple! Alex was even kind enough to offer me a copy of just the ceremony, so I have it for my potential couples. So generous and talented! Gosh, I love this community! Without further ado, I introduce Alex and New York Wedding Films!

Vendors I Love - RYAN BROWN CATERING

I've known Ryan for almost 3 years. Believe it or not, I used to work for him as a party chef. While I'm not in his kitchen any longer, I'm so glad that our paths continue to cross. The wedding industry is enormous and tiny at the same time. I constantly meet new folks, but the community of colleagues I'm surrounded by is very warm and supportive. There is so much I appreciate about Ryan and the way he works. He has interesting & diversified menus, a great aesthetic and a desire to use local, fresh ingredients. Without further ado, I'd like to introduce RYAN BROWN!

Vendors I Love - ANDY MARS PHOTOGRAPHY

I am a lucky gal. Not only do I assist couples on creating ceremonies and getting ready for married life, I get to work with some amazing people in the wedding industry. There are some that I have the honor of working with once, and then there are some that I see on a regular basis. Andy Mars falls into the latter group and I couldn't be more pleased.
