Bidisha + Jeff, Simply sophisticated and married in Brooklyn

Amber — Fri, 07 May 2010 03:38:00 +0000

Meeting Bidisha, Jeff and their closest family and friends was such a delight. There could not have been a more gracious group to spend this intimate ceremony with. Their celebration is evidence that when it comes down to it, marriage is about love and commitment. And having family and friends to share your life makes it so much more special.

After sharing this celebration of love, life and commitment with Bidisha and Jeff, more than ever do I believe that “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” (Leonardo da Vinci)

Starring… Pierre Downing

Amber — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:10:35 +0000

Some of you may remember Pierre from the first season of BET’s Harlem Heights. In case you don’t, let me jog your memory. He was the tall, handsome young man working in community development. These days you can find him pursing his love of acting and modeling. And in general, leaving a lasting impression with his infectious smile.

2009, An Exceptional Year

Amber — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:07:38 +0000

With each day that we get closer to 2010, I can’t help but remember that this time one year ago, I could have never imagined all that 2009 would become. All my struggles and accomplishments, as cliche as that may sound. But seriously, I am thankful for the encouragement of my family and my friends. I am thankful for all the tough lessons that have helped me to grow and tackle life in a way that I never did before. And I am thankful for God’s love.

To celebrate 2009, I have included some of my favorite images from weddings this year.

May the good things in life be yours in abundance. Happy New Year!

Abbie + Jamal, a Wedding in Brooklyn

Amber — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 01:00:46 +0000

Abbie & Jamal were married at the Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims in Brooklyn Heights with a reception that followed at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. She wore an elegant, one-shouldered Vera Wang gown with flower details that was reminiscent of Michelle Obama’s inauguration gown.

I love to see how each couple makes their wedding their own. For Abbie and Jamal, it was their first dance. Jamal, a dancer, choreographed it. It definitely set the whole tone for the wedding. Their guests love to dance and worked it all night. Thanks to Jen Davis for letting me work with her on this wedding.

“Say Hey, I Love You”

Amber — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:18:19 +0000

Yup, this is my new favorite song. Jenny and Andrew introduced it to me on their wedding website. And like everything new that I fall in love with, I can’t seem to get enough. Yesterday, I had it on repeat all day and just had to share. It makes me want to get up and dance. Love it! (If you don’t see the video below, hit Refresh until it appears.)
