What better way to come back from maternity leave than with a gorgeous feature on Martha Stewart Weddings! I've been waiting to share this fun wedding for quite some time and am so happy to see it live. Check out Jess + Steve's fun fall Berkshires wedding here!

Updates!

It's been almost a year since I've been on this much neglected blog, but that doesn't mean that tons of exciting things haven't been happening here.  I've been traveling all over the place, shooting gorgeous weddings that I must share and overall have a lot to catch you up on.  I think this is just as good at time as any to begin.

First, I'm thrilled to say I've had some work recently featured on Style Me Pretty, Brooklyn Bride, Charm City Wed,  and Rusting Wedding Chic.  Check them out below:

Sara + Tim's Brooklyn Winery Wedding

Leah + Mark's Black Feather Farm Wedding

Maureen + Brandon's Alder Manor Wedding

Brigid + Nick's Baltimore Peabody Library Wedding

Cheysa + Justin's New Leaf Wedding

Kathryn + Andy's Green Building Wedding

Erica + Trevor's Queens Engagement (with a cute cat!)

OK, I think we're caught up on that.  If you're still with me after that long list I'm happy to share some more big news.

Isabelle Selby Photography is expanding!  

That's right!  There now will be no (zero! zip!) travel fee for New York City, Nashville TN, Charleston SC and Lexington KY.  Tell your friends!  Tell your family!  I'm happy to offer my services to these new places and if you know anyone getting hitched please send them my way.  I'd love to chat!

That's it for now, but stay tuned as I plan to keep a better handle on this blog.  I say that every year so hopefully it sticks.  I hope to see you again soon and, as always, feel free to keep up with my on my Facebook page.

Sarah + Sam's gorgeous wedding is featured today on Brooklyn Bride and I wanted to share a few more words about it.   At our initial meeting Sarah told me that her grandparents had first met at the Brooklyn Navy Yard so the location was really special to them.  I was hooked on their story and had to share.  Here's Sarah's take on their wedding:

For being the most indecisive person around, saying yes when Sam proposed was the easiest decision I've ever made.  Wedding planning was not as easy.  We wanted our wedding to feel like a fancy backyard dinner party but we were both very particular about the venue.  We wanted something that didn't feel staged for a wedding.  We had been living in Brooklyn for over three years and I have strong family ties to the naval yard.  So since we weren't planning on getting married in my hometown, the Brooklyn Navy Yard would still provide some family history.  BLDG92 was actually the first place we looked but it wasn't open yet so we kept looking...for months. Right as we were about to push the wedding back to the following summer/fall when we checked the BLDG92 website again and it was finally open!  Once we found out our favorite neighborhood restaurant had a cafe at the museum and would handle the event, the rest came together very quickly.

My grandparents, Frank and Mary C. Miller met during WWII at the BNY in 1945.  Frank Miller, a Chief Petty Officer, had just returned from a supply trip to Africa and rather than take the allowed R&R time, (this was wartime), went to put his papers in requesting assignment to the next ship going out. On the way out of the Admiral’s office, he saw Mary Belcastro in the typing pool and immediately went back and took his papers off the desk.  75 days later, after a whirlwind courtship, Frank and Mary C. Miller were married and shared 56 years of happiness.

It was amazing to be married where my grandparent's life together began and to have my 92 year old grandmother as the guest of honor.  If Sam and I can have half of the good times my grandparents shared, I'd consider us pretty fortunate.

Isn't that amazing?  Thank you, Sarah, for sharing and congratulations to you both!
