Jillian Modern Photography

I’ve always been attracted to people who like to do things a little differently. The Rebels. The Artists. The Advocates. So when a bride calls me and says – “Our wish is to have something low-key at this funky little hotel that’s close to our house…. and I’m going to wear GOLD!!!” I’m like, get over here right now so I can kiss you! Jessica certainly was a vision of PERFECTION in her vintage gold gown. And her groom, Andrew,  was equally as handsome in his stylish wingtips and generous pops of color! Here is just a little SNEAK from last weekend’s wedding at the Culver Hotel.

When Stacey and Andrew first reached out to me about Wedding Photography it was from Hong Kong….they had the chance to live and work out there for a few years and they snatched up the opportunity immediately! Of course I knew that I already loved them, based on this one fact alone. I’m so envious of anyone who gets the chance to pack it all up and go experience another culture….and then actually DOES IT! But lucky for me, they came back…and now they’re living their dream in the City by the Bay. Also, not a bad gig. (: Their playful nature and mutual love is what makes their pictures fun to look at. This little shoot happened right on the street where they live in San Francisco.

The landscape is breathtaking, the food is to die for and the guest list is always the best of the best. I loved how intimate their wedding was and could not have felt more inspired by the Amalfi Coast!

Last week it snowed in Paris!! I was lucky enough to be visiting the City of Love for this rare event! It was so beautiful, but boy was it cold! What a perfect excuse to drink more hot chocolate!!! (=

Last month I had a fun opportunity to attend and photograph the New York Bridal Market Week alongside my new friend, Vané from the Brooklyn Bride Blog. My favorite part of any show is when they let me backstage to capture some of the action. I love watching 25 people fuss around one girl to get her ready to walk. If you think about it, it’s a lot like a wedding isn’t it? There is a special dress, and a bunch of fittings, planning for the perfect hair, make-up, shoes and accessories. A VIP guest list, an extravagant after-party. And the big highlight of it all is when then they send the model down the runway (i.e. the aisle). Big smile, I LIVE for that moment! I can’t wait to photograph some of these gowns in a real wedding setting this year!
