…be sure to check back soon for some more images from Kristin and Newt’s beautiful day…



cory + chris: film!

During Cory and Chris’s shoot I wanted to play around with some film, so I brought out the Holga and Contax 645.  There is something so beautiful about film straight out of the camera. Here are a few of my faves…

First the holga, it looks so dreamy…

an engagement: cory + chris

I have been wanting to post this engagement session with Cory and Chris since the moment I took them, but I had such a hard time editing down my favorite images.  I just love them all!  Cory and Chris were so great to photograph… they both have such hip and effortless styles and were so easygoing, a photographer’s dream!  We spent the afternoon in Dumbo, and though the skies were grey, it created a perfect backdrop for the session.  Here is just a taste of a few of my favorites from the afternoon…

kristin + newt

This past weekend I did a mini shoot on the upper west side with Kristin and Newt who are getting married in one week!  These two are so genuinely nice and have such a classic style about them. I cannot wait to shoot their wedding, it is going to be beautiful! Here are just a few of my favorites from the afternoon…

travel: london town

A few weeks back, my husband and I were able to visit our old stomping ground.  You see, for some strange reason, we thought it a good idea to pick up and move across an entire ocean the day after our wedding… and so began our first two years of married life in London.  One of my brothers has moved there since we came back to the states and so we planned a trip to visit family, catch up with old friends and throw back a pint or two.  Here is a little look into our trip…

…a little picnic in hyde park…

…ok, if there is one place you MUST go, it is the Hummingbird Bakery in Notting Hill on Portobello Road. They tout themselves as an american bakery and if we ever had a craving for some “homemade” treats, this is the place we would go. Try not to go on a saturday because the line will be out the door. The cupcakes are amazing, especially the red velvet…

…just some lovely flowers at a corner in Chelsea…

…one of the highlights was going to the London Transport Museum (i know, kind of nerdy, but it was so cool. AND we never had a chance to visit in our 2 years in London)…

…so we stayed at my brother’s place for most of the trip, but we decided to treat ourselves and stay in a cool hotel for the last few nights. The Blakes Hotel in Chelsea did not disappoint! Each room is unique and decorated quite elaborately…

…and finally, saying goodbye at Paddington Station. Until next time…

… all in all it was a great trip! We got to see some familiar faces and visit old haunts. Can’t wait to go back, whenever that may be…



details: pimm's cup

Oh its about that time of year when nothing is better than drinking a pim’s cup with some friends with a breeze to help cool you off.  This is another image I took from my brother’s wedding last June. I just love the colors!

details: cake!

Who doesn’t love a good cake? Or better yet a lovely cupcake? All I think when I see this image is “yoink!” and how I could probably eat 10 of the mini cupcakes at one time.

details

This week I wanted to post some details shots, one a day, to go along with beautiful weather we are having (and lets hope it continues!).  This first shot is from my brother’s wedding back in June.  I love the dreamy quality it has… this definitely makes me think of summer time.

brooklyn bridge

So, Spring has been peeking its head around the corner up here, but has not decided to stay just yet.  As a way to coax it out, I thought I would post some nice, sunny, spring time pics (even though these were taken on a weirdly warm day back in February).  This was documentation of my first time to walk the brooklyn bridge even though I have been here almost 2 years.  My hubby and our pup, Bonnie, went along as well even if she wasn’t exactly excited about it at some points. Take a look…

mandy + matt: part II

After the ceremony and reception ended, I took Mandy and Matt on a portrait session through downtown Nashville. We started out at the Standard, went down Broadway by all of the Honky-Tonks and ended up at the beautiful Union Station Hotel. They were such troopers and it made for such a great shoot! Here are some of my favorites from the end of the day…
