Meet the Luxury Vendor Team

Before making a name for herself as a luxury wedding photographer, Liz was an opera singer and taught as a voice professor at Princeton University. During her time on the stage and in academia, she developed an appreciation for the finer details—a value she carried with her into her work as a full-time destination wedding photographer. An enthusiast of experiences, chic design, and the thrill of capturing a truthful story through her camera lens, Liz brings a stylistic element into her work, capturing each couple with purpose, editorial flair, and ease. 

Courtney is the lead designer for Winsome Floral, a floral studio based in Princeton, NJ. She started pursuing her career in florals while living abroad in Buenos Aires and instantly fell in love with the creativity and intentionality of floral design. It wasn’t long until Winsome Floral evolved.
The Winsome team creates romantic, beautiful floral designs for weddings and events throughout the East Coast as well as working in some beautiful destination locations, specializing in Italy & France.

Kaleb Norman James is a Seattle native who began his career in floral design. When he realized he was designing beautiful events that lacked logistical direction, he took his background in corporate event planning and combined with his love of floral and design to create a full service event planning & design firm. Since its inception in 2014, Kaleb has planned weddings across the world from Italy, to France, Costa Rica to the Caribbean. Rooted in a love of travel, architecture and fashion, his designs have a strong European influence and forever find their roots in a classic, Ralph Lauren inspired aesthetic. These passions have all greatly influenced his approach to developing his signature aesthetic- combining old world grandeur, with a finely edited sense of restraint. 

Named among Top Wedding Planners by Martha Stewart Weddings as well as featured in Top Weddings Blogs such as Martha Stewart Weddings, Style Me Pretty, Wedding Sparrow, Magnolia Rouge and more, Nyachia is known for being the go-to event planner for all things production in France & Italy. Coupled with over 15 years of experience in the luxury and event industry, she knows how to seamlessly curate experiences that exceed every expectation, transforming dreams into reality.

Anna Lord

Anna Lord is a destination filmmaker for the nostalgic. She is a Southern California and Colorado based visual artist who is passionate about narrating the quiet moments through a visceral experience. She strives to capture organic emotions & the beauty that surrounds her subjects. Following the years she spent in university to get her degree in Fine Art & French, she traveled, worked, and lived in many cities in the United States & Europe — both of which greatly influenced her work. Anna has been working as a visual artist for the past 15 years in both the wedding and fashion/commercial sector. Her work has been featured in Elle, The New York Times, Brides, Martha Stewart Weddings, & more.
