The New Face of New York Bride and Groom | Liz Shea

Bloggers meet the new face of New York Bride and Groom

NYB4

We are so excited to wake up this morning to find our very own, Liz Shea, gracing the cover of the newly launched New York Bride and Groom’s website!  A few months back, I had the pleasure of working alongside of NYBG owner, Tracy Burke, and their general manager (Krista Ladd) on a distinct in-studio shoot.  OH the dresses!  OH the artistry (thanks, Kymm McLean!)!!  OH the brides (yes, REAL BRIDES – Liz is a REAL BRIDE!).  It was one of the most relaxing, laid back and FUN shoots I’ve been a part of recently.

*Sidenote – we’ve been playing around with different textures/styles/looks for our blog and main website.  Please forgive the periodic transitions in the look of the site, until I decide which direction to go.  THANKS! Now, we’re off to New Orleans to photograph last year’s Facebook Frenzy contest winner!!!

Danyette - Wow!! I was just on the NY Bride website and wanted to tell you those photos are amazing!! I really love the new look of the website and your photography is beautiful!!!January 21, 2010 – 2:23 am

Happy New Year!!

I hope that each and everyone of you had a blessed holiday season.  We are elated to jump-start our new year in conjunction with Carolina Bride.  Many of you know The Thorne’s by now, but we are excited to end 2009 and open 2010 with a BANG!  My sugary-sweet, Lindsey is well deserving of this incredible feature and I could not be happier for both she and John.  Through the planning process, Lindsey and I have become the dearest of friends (my twinkies even ended up in the wedding and made the magazine!!!), and I’m – well – just a lucky, lucky girl to have her in my life.

Many, many thanks to all of the vendors involved.  A special thank you to both Steve and Garrett Michael for photographing with me on wedding day – I love you both oodles!  To Tiffany with Weddings and The City – thank you.  Your vision, your attention to detail, your tenderness in handling situations, your ability to command attention in a calm and charismatic manner is untouchable.  To Eishia and Melissa with Weddings and the City – I am so proud to have you as part of our team.  Truly, you are both asset’s to the company.  To Richard Israel – The Israel – you are an amazing friend and remarkable artist.  Truly, truly I thank the Lord for you.  You are no frills, no drama and a wonderful sounding board.  To my studio manager and book designer, Liz Shea – thank you!  You have become my ‘go-to-girl’ and I am so appreciative of all that you have done and do – more than you probably know.  And to all of the other incredibly talented vendors – my heart is with you and I welcome the next opportunity to work together.

Now – let’s celebrate LOVE!  C O N G R A T S to JOHN AND LINDSEY!!
