No big deal, right? My photo featured on Glamour Magazine‘s website? Wedding Style Icon: 12 Wedding Ideas Inspired by Kelly Clarkson Particularly exciting when it’s alongside my increeedible floral designer friend Becca, from Petal Floral Design, and featuring Lindsay and Luke – whose full wedding I still can’t wait to share with you!
Nestled in the green Caversham Valley in Balgowan, Alicia and I stumbled on quite possibly the most amazing place for our last meal in South Africa: Granny Mouse Country House & Spa. So many sweet details and eclectic nooks, something new at every turn. We could have stayed forever, yet it felt like the most perfect finale to our week-long journey. And yep, it’s a wedding venue too!!! *call me!*
The sweet little chapel with a Christmas tree on display… what a beautiful place to get married!
On this evening, we began our 30-hour trek back home to New York and New England.
A Spontaneous Trip to South Africa Arriving in Johannesburg & Durban Exploring the Drakensberg Mountains I thought it was about time for me to announce I’ll be living in the Tuscany region of Italy for the month of April 2013! You may recall my month in the Canadian Rockies of Canmore and Banff in 2011. Travel is such an important part of my life, and I’m lucky to have found a career that lets me pursue those dreams too! What’s more is that I found an incredible friendship in Canmore, and now Julie of Julie Williams Photography is joining me on this year’s trip! I can’t imagine a better evolution of this adventure, and I look forward to sharing it all with her fantastic spirit! Hope you’ll join us! And by all means, if you or someone you know is coming through Florence or Tuscany this spring, do get in touch!

We’ve been chatting with wedding planners, calligraphers, other photographers… and even a sweet American couple who will be honeymooning in Tuscany at the time! Namely, those with the biggest arms wide open to our visit – thank you!: Serena of Wishversilia is a super thoughtful wedding planner and travel consultant across the Tuscany region. Mara of Neither Snow is a sweet and amazing New England calligrapher currently living in Florence. Stay tuned for more as we embark on – and photograph the heck out of – this next big adventure! XO

Hi Sam! We’re finalizing our decision now, and will be settling in Florence for the month! Easy access to everywhere we want to go in the area. Let’s definitely meet up and get some photos and wine (and pasta) while you’re there! XO

So dang cool. Can’t wait to hear about the adventure :) Always a superb way to end the wedding evening! Happy one-year anniversary to Luke & Suzanne! They’re savoring a growing baby bump by now – so excited for them! But a year ago, 16 of their closest friends and family were curled up around a campfire at the Mount Washington Hotel, toasting hot chocolate to the beginning of a beautiful marriage…
I wanted to share a very special post with you today, from a December afternoon on a blanket with Sara and her son Jack. I first met Sara in her role of [amazing] hair stylist for weddings, and we have worked on a couple magazine shoots as well. Her salon is located just a mile from me here in Marstons Mills, so of course I now visit often for myself too! Jack’s dad, Jon, is a police officer in Norwich, Connecticut. He was shot three times in an hours-long standoff on Monday night, and released from the hospital today. In my heart of hearts, I wanted these photos to arrive from the lab as quickly as possible this week to help bring a smile to Sara and her family!
I don’t normally publish family photos here on my site, because I have a somewhat different perspective for the way family is captured. But I thought these guys deserved an extra shout out today, and their session truly represents what I love about “family”. Big hugs! |
Carrie S - Nope…no big deal at all. Never heard of it. :)
Congratulations my talented friend (and to my talented friend’s talented friend!)! I am very excited for you…as usual!
Heather McMinn - Wonderful!!! So exciting.
Amanda - Yah Stacey!!
Ruth - Yay! Congratulations Stacey :D
