This is the first post in a new series where every month I will showcase my favorite shop and some of the items I love. This is also a great opportunity to get inspired by the beautiful photographs each of them show to present the items they sell. So make sure you check back on the first of every month for new shop of the month!

West Elm has always been a love of mine. Their products are modern, fresh and natural. Their minimalist style shown through the design of their products as well as their photography is like a breath of fresh air. You can find lots of inspiration in their catalogs, which are also smartly designed. I recommend you sign up for their mailing list.

I love this little series, Portrait of a Gown, that BHLDN posted today. The photography is beautiful and the neutral tones are serene and romantic. I had to share my favorite shots.

I had the honor of photographing my friend Jen and her now husband Reinder’s wedding ceremony last Thursday at City Hall in NYC and I am so happy I joined them. They are such a beautiful couple and are so in love. It makes me happy to know they have found each other.

He wore a blue velvet jacket with blue pants and she looked gorgeous in a silvery blue satin dress. The spring inspired bouquet was handmade by Jen herself and filled with little pink roses and purple lavender goodies. The “love” plaque they added was a nice touch as well.

Although a little nervous, both Jen and Reinder were excited and couldn’t wait to say their vows. What a beautiful moment it was to see them finally kiss as husband and wife. It was an honor to be a part of it all.

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot. Hope you like them as much as I do!
