Our paths first crossed when we both worked in the motorsports industry, but we really did not know each other. A mutual colleague introduced us — at an event at New Bridge — and not long thereafter, the New Bridge magazine was born. We decided to collaborate and produce a magazine that was something different — trailblazing and visionary. For the last ten editions, we’ve done that and more.

Our photo shoots are unique, fun, and usually end up with some hilarious outtakes. A cat walking on a horse’s back, a beautiful girl paddling a surfboard in the community pool, a polo pony standing in the pines adorned with shopping bags, a ballerina dancing on the polo field, and a leaf blower creating a breeze for a pony’s mane, just to name a few.

Ideas and creativity are continually passed back and forth between the two of us. We are adventurous with the magazine layout, and in life itself. Often, you’ll hear one of us say, “I’ve got an idea, what do you think if we do this …?”

We hope you enjoy what’s inside the tenth edition, we are already planning the next one.

IS IT FREE?

A publication this beautiful is expensive to produce, and we have to thank our advertisers for making this stellar magazine possible. There’s also a lot of time, energy, thought, and creativity that goes into every single page. If you love the elegant design, interesting articles, quality of the paper, and appreciate having it as a keepsake, we invite you to scan this QR code and make a contribution via Venmo. Every little bit helps spur us on to create more!
