Now that the magazine has appeared in print, we finally get to share some of our favorites

It is ever a joy to work with my dear friend Grace Ormonde, who always likes to push the visual envelope. And also the fabulous

Tracy Trouf, who makes it all happen – and who is also an amazing event planner.

Below the image which was selected as the  cover shot. The gorgeous Brazilian models were just great to work with.

The setting for this shoot was an old warehouse … the juxtaposition of the raw industrial space to the high elegance of couture.

I love working with movement … it brings such a freshness, aliveness.

Thanks to the whole crew at Wedding Style magazine  who made this shoot possible … we had a blast!!

Allow me  to introduce you to my  sister Daphne’s kids.

Without much a do … Alix of Bohemia … fashion and clothing designer extraordinaire.

After spending 2 years wowing Hong Kong with her style and designs, Alix recently moved to London.

She is a visionary, creative soul, world traveler and all around tres chic IT gal …

Visit her blog for an abundance of inspiration : Alix Of Bohemia

All of these designs are available for purchase, contact her for details.

Alix and I were talking about shooting her first major collection in an exotic location

and then I had the idea to do a sort of  “Royal Tennebaums” theme.

In the beautiful house they grew up in, with all the siblings.

This is her little sister Olivia who is leaving NYC and heading  to London UK! Yay!

The beautiful thing about Livi is that she has no idea how gorgeous she really is!!

This is Caleb, the youngest,  a prefect at Choate Rosemary Hall.

He manages to be  cute, creative, smart and quirky all at the SAME time.

And then there’s Cyril, who is dashing and elegant and so misunderstood … he’s a  PICES after all …

Cyril is living and working in Paris, taking a break from St Andrews but mostly breaking a lot of girls hearts …

And this is Daphne, my amazing beautiful creative sister and the the mother of all these gorgeous kids!

Daphne is a ceramic artist, fabric and jewelry designer, architectural interiors, culinary maestro … the list is endless.

She is truly an artist …  in every pore of her body … from the color she chooses to put on the walls to what she prepares for every meal.

I am so thrilled that she is moving to Rhode Island …Yippee!!

Stripes inspire mother and daughter’s creations …

Ceramic Lamps and Urns by Daphne Verley – dress by Alix

Hand made bow tie made by Caleb.

Alix has a way of combining items that you would not  normally see together and yet she merges them flawlessly.

Family snuggle …

We had more responses to this shoot on Facebook than any other in history … wink wink …

Until my fashion site is up I wanted to share a bit of my other work that has been keeping me nicely busy.

Yes, this is a jewelry shoot .

These guys were extremely professional and really fun as well …

I must admit, being surrounded by so many beautiful men made the day go by rather quickly

It was a blast!! Thank you Golf for such a wonderful day!! Love you!!

My prediction … this boy will be BIG one day! In more ways than one …

Thanks Mr. Magnus!!

The tabletops were just AMAZING!!  We can’t wait till the spring summer issue comes out!

We cannot show you any of them yet, BUT … here’s a fun mix of behind the scenes.

Flowers, flowers and more flowers …

Despite the heat … we had a ball with the wonderful and talented crew at Wedding Style.

My beloved  Anurag with a bloom …

He even played model for us … oo la la he is so hot!

Grace and her sweet sweet Mama ….

The wonderful John Orton with Grace …

The Fabulous Terry Cabral ( Ray’s Flowers, Fall River )

What I love most about shooting with Wedding Style are the amazingly wonderful crew there …

I still have not even finished editing, but here are a few images.

I love the action behind the scenes …

How many women does it take to make 1 model ready for a shot?

My beloved Anurag, who is THE web designer extraordinaire

is just making a few adjustments and tweaks.

Anurag asked me for a recent photo of myself for the new page …

and  for the girl who hates to have her photo taken…

this was in between takes of our “Ross Simons” shoot last week.

A little bit of Loopiness is definitely needed after 10 hours of non stop shooting …

and a few of my honey who loves to be photographed …

I love you baby!!

I just finished editing the images from the Moss Salon shoot …

Moss was named as one of the 50  best salons in the US by ELLE Magazine.

The very talented and sweet Kelly Tourtelott did the amazing hair styles and

Lena Tsukatos, with whom I have done many fashion shoots with, did the fantastic  makeup.

Carolyn Cotter is our lovely model … she did a great job for her first model shoot!!
