1960s Après Ski…but make it DC rooftop magic. ❄️✨

This weekend we celebrated Pierre + Paul’s joint birthday inside The Dome on top of Union Market — a mini version of the Vegas Sphere glowing over the city. From retro ski looks and faux snowball fights to rooftop shotskis, tarot readings, champagne-sabering, and the most epic DJ vibes… every detail transported us straight into a chic winter wonderland.

It felt like a reunion with my East Coast family — especially our big crew who adventured through Greenland together. 🤍

Huge thank you to Jodie for hosting such an unforgettable night.
Swipe to step inside the vintage après ski fantasy. ⛷️✨

This one means so much to me. 💙

I’ve been so excited to finally share these images of my dear friends, Cameron and Troy, captured on Iceland’s famous Diamond Beach. Between the freezing winds, wild surf, and black sand under our feet, it was one of the craziest—and most beautiful—shoots I’ve ever done.

We laughed, froze, and got soaked by icy waves, but every moment felt like pure magic. Watching two people I love so much celebrate their story in a place this powerful reminded me why I do what I do — to capture love in its rawest, most real form.

Here’s to friendship, adventure, and the kind of love that burns brighter than the cold. ❤️

✨ What a more beautiful way to kick off Burning Man festivities than with a throwback to Lara & Justin’s Playa wedding in 2018 ✨💍🔥

Their love story unfolded against the backdrop of one of the most creative and transformative gatherings on Earth. Imagine saying your vows surrounded by art cars, desert sunsets, and a community built on radical self-expression and connection. 🌅💫

This wasn’t just a wedding — it was a Playa celebration of love, art, and adventure. Every detail reflected the magic of Burning Man: the dust, the light, the surreal beauty of the desert, and the energy of a community that knows how to celebrate love in the most extraordinary way.

I may not be at Burning Man this year, but moments like these remind me why the Playa is forever in my heart — it’s a place where time stands still, creativity thrives, and love stories become part of the desert’s legacy.

Here’s to new beginnings, timeless memories, and the magic of the Playa that continues to inspire us all. 🖤🔥✨

Sugar, spice, and everything nice! Reagan's Bat Mitzvah was one to remember! This was such a well-planned event thanks to - everything was thought of and the guests had an absolute BLAST! The Brentwood Country Club was transformed into an Italian/French Riviera theme! Everything was oranges, peaches, and beachy like South of France. Wendy had planned out so many different stations: for food, hair sparkles, golf, a little gift store full of customizable merch for all the kids, and also a bunch of cool spaces for seating for everyone to break off! So much fun and dancing the night away with lovely faces ❤

Reagan's Bat Mitzvah was at the Brentwood Country Club with as the absolutely incredible event coordinator – she just made everything perfect and included such amazing elements of Reagan’s personality throughout the day while having a super cool theme and making it truly memorable for the guests. Reagan had the formal service at a temple in Beverly Hills and then she had a big double decker bus take her and all the kids from the temple to the Brentwood Country Club where there was an epic dance routine performed as a grand entrance for Reagan!
