Ruby et Violette – Most Amazing Cookies We’ve Ever Tasted!

One of our brides asked us to photograph her gourmet cookies for her, and we of course jumped at the chance! We love seeing what our brides’ passions are and when they turn out to be the very best gourmet cookies we’ve ever tasted, we love it even more. Ruby et Violette makes some amazing cookies, from champagne strawberry, to pistachio, red velvet and even creme brulee! All of them taste even better than they look here (trust us, we got to eat some of the samples!) and New York Magazine even considers them one of their top gift ideas for 2011. Can’t wait to go back and photograph the rest of their over 80 different varieties of cookies tomorrow!

Update: We’ve been getting some questions about what flavor these cookies are, so we thought we’d fill you in! Top to bottom, left to right, they are: Champagne Strawberry, Pistachio, Mint Chocolate Chip, (2nd row) Peanut Butter Chip, Amaretto, Carrot Cake, (3rd row) Créme Brulee, Red Velvet and Tiramisu. Yum!

MAJOR CABLE NETWORK NOW CASTING COUPLES ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED LATE SUMMER THROUGH FALL

This isn’t the same old cable wedding show. This is a unique docu-soap that will capture the beauty and elegance of each ceremony and then further explore what it means to make a commitment in 2011.

Beginning on the day of the marriage event (we’re hoping to feature as many different kinds of weddings/ceremonies possible) and finishing up exactly a year later, we will film couples periodically through their newlywed year. Timewise, you can expect that it will be a combination of timed intervals (say, every four months) and family events (holidays, births, etc.) and will probably be just a few days of shooting at a time.

Each episode will be one hour long and will feature the full year of two couples at a time and will be shown on a very popular major cable channel. The commitment is less that of time than it is of the ability to honestly and openly communicate about each other and the experience of this important first year through candid and open interviews. In order to get the best view of what marriage looks like today in the US we really need to find a diverse mix of stories and couples.

Which is why we need you! We are looking for all different types of couples, wedding events, locations and points of view. It is truly an opportunity to capture the hopes and dreams and challenges and successes that are involved in this age-old institution. The show will also capture the beauty and style of each wedding, showing how each couple celebrates their love in a unique and special way.

*At this stage we are simply talking to people about the day they have planned. By speaking to us, there is no commitment to taking part in the series and all calls are treated in confidence.
