The thing about high school friends…
Sometimes they’re annoying.
Sometimes they’re right.

She bothered me for YEARS that her brother’s friend was my future husband.
I once even saw him at an event filming and thought,
“Yeah… absolutely not.”

She kept pushing.
And pushing.
And pushing.

We got engaged in under a week.

So… maybe listen to your high school friends sometimes 😅

The forces of unholiness know this Chanukah will be off the charts, so they attacked where the light would first enter the world. Each of us will make this Chanukah brighter, bigger, and better than ever before.

It’s so weird that I’m editing galleries right now from end of August / early September… while we’re literally living in Chanukah… while we’re booking weddings for February + March (Purim vibes)… and I’m already getting calls for May + June.

Like… where do you live? 😂
My brain has 12 tabs open and they’re all in different seasons.

One second I’m staring at summer photos so detailed I can feel the sweat and the sticky heat again — take me back to the foreheads and the chaos and the golden light.
Next second I’m ordering gloves because I suddenly can’t feel my fingers.

It’s such a funny dichotomy:
In the summer we crave the cold.
In the cold we crave the summer.
And somehow… we’re both warm and cold at the same time.

And honestly, Chanukah feels like that too.
It’s dark outside, but we’re lighting more and more each night.
The days start getting longer again.
It’s the first tiny step back toward summer. 🕯️🧤☀️

This wedding? Pure joy. The couple brought so much energy and love, it felt like the whole room was buzzing. And here’s a little cool fact that no one ever guesses: the gorgeous stained-glass dome above them has a story of its own. It actually started out in the 1920s at the Brooklyn Jewish Center—yup, that same building that’s now Oholei Torah in Crown Heights. They moved it over to Temple Emanu-El in the 1980s, and now it’s part of this venue’s unique charm. So basically, you’re dancing under a piece of Brooklyn’s Jewish wedding history, just a little fun trivia for the day!

People you haven’t spoken to since 2009 are suddenly popping up like,
“Heeey bestie ❤️ can you donate $18,000 to our urgent cause?? We’re 92% there!!!”

Bro… I didn’t even know we were still on speaking terms.
Now I’m funding your entire budget?

At this point we need one campaign:
The Campaign to Stop End-of-Year Campaigns.

Because I cannot survive another “Heyyyy! Hope you’re well! Quick link for you 😇✨” message. 😭📵

Okay I’m just going to leave this here: backyard weddings are low-key unbeatable.
I don’t care if you have elephants escorting the bride and groom into the venue (although, ngl, that would be pretty cool) — nothing touches the vibe of a backyard wedding.

Yeah, you can throw a bougie, fancy, “we-spent-a-million-bajillion-dollars” event… but there’s something about being in someone’s actual backyard with real friends, real laughter, and real moments that you cannot manufacture.

No fakery, no “look how perfect we are,” no over-the-top production.
Just good people, good energy, good memories.

Backyard weddings: 1
Elephants: 0 🐘✨
