Elan Artists Blog

Elan Artists’ darling photographers at Chellise Michael Photography are blowing up the blogs. Check out the nuptial eye candy!

 

The first is a super saturated wedding shot in Scottsdale, Arizona, as featured in Arizona Bride Magazine. We especially love the portraiture in this wedding — so timeless.

 

 

Next up, a cherry blossom engagement shoot at The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens (what a sweet shot – our heart strings have been effectively pulled!)

 

 

For the finale, Chellise Michaels Photography and the anxieties and solutions to rain on your wedding day… Love how clear umbrellas create a pretty gauze on these images!

 

• We’re still gushing over the success of our dance band showcase at the Ritz Carlton Georgetown. Rhythm Collective and The Source brought it on, while Janet Flowers’ stunning arrangements and Posh and Luxe’s perfect decor artfully offset the mood in the perfectly sun drenched Fahrenheit Ballroom.  Check out these photos by Photography by Alexander.

 

• And while you’re at it, check out Wedding Chicks’ blog post about a gorgeous Caribbean wedding, with entertainment provided by our own Ira and Nikki Gonzalez and a DJ set by Elan Artists’ owner Josh Friedman.

• The delightful vintage jazz group, Lapis Luna, is at it again with a nod in Biz Bash.
• Our best headline yet: Elan Artists is one degree from Kevin Bacon (as are these smatterings of CEOs…)

COOL!

The Elan Artists crew showed up (in every sense of the term) at Ace Hotel New York this past Tuesday for another successful showcase! Lapis Luna opened the evening with their perfectly Mad Men-esque jazz set. With vibes vibing, The Elements and Eric Nicolas & One Love got the crowd dancing, and Rhythm Collective, joined by Drumadics at the bottom of the evening for a wildly brassy finale.

Check out the evidence, shot by our esteemed photographers Roey Yohai and Carlos Andres Varela.

 

Ever our industry icons, Billy Evers (of Rafanelli Events) and Sylvia Weinstock (Sylvia Weinstock Cakes) brought the party in a big way [second from bottom]; Our beloved photographer Chellise Michaels (Chellise Michael Photography) in a jazzy cheetah number [bottom image].

Our gratitude to Bootlegger Vodka/Prohibition Distillery and Gabriella Wines for the fine libations, and Rountree Flowers for the sculptural arrangements.

The Elan Artists office is abuzz today with the news that Carlos Andres Varela has not one, but two blogs hot on his trail.

The first is a truly stunning New York City fairytale of a wedding. Style Me Pretty has the scoop on this event that is glam to the max, with sparkle in all the right places courtesy of DM Events.

 

 

The latest is a chic engagement session as featured on Merci New York. We can’t get enough of the play between the dramatic architecture and the fun fashion styling in this shoot!

Thanks to Style Me Pretty and Merci New York for the coverage, and Carlos for the beautiful work!
