From Magi Fisher, photographer and lawyer-extraordinaire: One of the most common mistakes I come across in the wedding industry is the lack of attention paid to contracts.

Not only do they protect you, but a thoughtfully composed contract makes expectations, services, and deliverables clear from the get go. This means your client knows exactly what...

I dare you to host a Thanksgiving without pie. Jammed together in a tiny studio apartment in NYC circa 2019 or spaced 6 feet apart on a chilly patio in #2020, pie-less (read: joyless) tables does not a Thanksgiving make. Preferably, served toasty warm with an a la mode finish. So. What's a girl to do when digging into said pie face first is no longer socially (or medically) acceptable!? Enter: The Hand Pie. Or the Muffin Tin Pie. Or Pie on a Stick. Or a p-icecream sandwich. Join us as we take...

Friendsgiving doesn't have to be on Thanksgiving. It doesn't even have to be in November. It just has to be about fun and food and laughing with the...

In support of the industry, I’ve come up with 5 ways you can patronize your local wedding industry favs. We’re all in this together, right? Photography by Cagdas Yoldas 1. Purchase...
We live out in the New England country, in a little town just outside of Boston. Where cars slow to let turkeys pass by (I actually did this today) and horses regularly trot down the side of the road with their owners. We are close enough to a city to experience all of the culinary goodness, but far enough to enjoy all of the farms and land and general loveliness. And around Thanksgiving that very combination gets oh so good. I should preface this recipe to say that I'm not so much of a...
