Off season is a great time for me to catch up on things like business planning, attending workshops, and networking events. Last year I had the opportunity to meet a group of talented wedding professionals based in the CT/NY metro area whom I now regularly co-work with at the local bakery in town. With many of us having skills ranging from photography, calligraphy, to wedding planning, our fellow colleague and talented photographer, Kristina Staal decided it would be fun to leverage everyone’s talents and come together to collaborate on a styled wedding shoot. It’s always a big undertaking to orchestrate styled photoshoots so a big thank you to Kristina and Lauren and Aoife of Jack & Grace Events for hosting and putting together this amazing Create & Collaborate styled wedding shoot out.  Also sending thanks to all the wonderful vendors (noted at the end of the blog) for contributing their talents to this shoot.  It was an absolute pleasure to be apart of it.  Here are some of my favorite shots from Karolina & Alex’s styled elopement.
