There was a stretch recently where I couldn’t find a single quiet moment inside my own head. Not the peaceful kind of quiet. The where-did-my-nervous-system-go-and-will-it-ever-come-back kind. Nothing was technically “wrong.” No fires to put out. No dramatic life event. Just this low-grade pressure sitting on my chest, paired with a sadness that didn’t have the […]

This is, regrettably, a 100% true story. For months I was convinced something was wrong with my car. And listen—this wasn’t just any car.

A day of joy, love, and the occasional rogue family member who thinks it’s their personal talk show. If you’ve hired us—Silk & Stone Studio—as your wedding photographers and videographers, congratulations. You’ve also accidentally hired wedding coordinators, bouncers, therapists, emergency seamstresses, and, if necessary, professional distractors of overly inquisitive relatives. We’re not saying we do […]

Ah, the “First Look.” The moment where you and your beloved see each other before the ceremony, exchange some teary-eyed “you look amazing” whispers, and actually get a second to breathe before the madness begins. But no, you’re skipping it. Bold move. We respect the commitment to tradition (and may the odds be ever in […]

So, you’re engaged. Congratulations! You now have the distinct pleasure of making approximately one million decisions before you can actually say, “I do.” And at the very top of that list? The wedding venue. Because without a venue, you’re basically just two people in fancy outfits standing in a field somewhere (which, honestly, could be […]
