destination weddings or things shots on my many travels

south africa

 

Earlier this year Reid and I took a trip to South Africa as part of my belated 30th birthday present and it was nothing short of amazing. My first time anywhere in Africa and my first time that far south on this globe of ours. I decided to take only one camera along with me, my rolleiflex, so that I could travel light and to try to challenge myself photographically. I am so glad I made this decision- the more I shoot with that camera, the more I love it. Most of the shots below were taken on Kodak Ektar film with a few here and there taken on Portra 800. We stayed at an incredible place just outside of Cape Town called Babylonstoren and most of the images are from around the hotel grounds plus a few sprinkled in from Table Mountain and Boulders Beach. I apologize for the long post but even this is an edited down version. All film developed and scanned by UK Film Lab (opening to the public on June 3rd!).

 

 

 



milestones

A few memories from a February trip to Cornwall celebrating two friends’ 30th birthdays. The weekend included lots of great food, warming up at the pub, maybe a little too much whisky and walks along the coast where the puppies could roam at their pleasure.



cornwall

A few photographs from my first visit to Cornwall with dear friends this past summer. Reid and Bonnie had been lucky to visit a few months before and were excited to show me around. It was tough to leave (especially to get Bonnie out of the water) but we have another visit to look forward to in the near future!

Just wanted to post this fun shot from a shoot I did for Willa Skincare back in November. You should check out their tumblr Willapedia on their site where a few more images from the shoot appear. Have a lovely weekend!



queen of the hebrides

A few weeks ago Reid and I took a belated 30th birthday trip for him to the insanely beautiful isle of Islay- home to many delicious whiskies, covered in peat, cows and sheep, and populated by some of the kindest people I have come across while traveling. We were both really looking forward to this trip and it exceeded any expectations we had by leaps and bounds. Of course I brought along a few cameras to document our adventures and when I got the film back I immediately wanted to print everything off. What I ended up doing was create a book through Pinhole Press and that is the reason this post looks a little bit different- instead of creating a new layout for the blog, I simply uploaded the pages I made for our book. Haven’t gotten the final product back yet but will let you know how it turns out when I do! And now please enjoy the beauty of this Queen of the Hebrides.

One of the many breathtaking views we witnessed while visiting the isle of Islay a few weeks ago. Excited to share more from this Scottish adventure we had!

Just a few snippets from a trip to Paris in October (shot from Sacre Coeur).



positano

A tiny town carved into the side of a mountain, surrounded by a vast ocean, filled with beautiful sights and sounds. Welcome to Positano!



britney + ted

I can not even begin to say how thankful I am to have been chosen to document Britney & Ted’s wedding in Positano, Italy, this past spring. Such a beautiful setting that was made even more beautiful by this celebration of love. What a way to begin life as partners!



a joyous exit

I adore Britney & Ted and how absolutely joyous they look exiting the church after their wedding ceremony. These two were wed in Positano, Italy, this past spring and I am so looking forward to showing you more from their celebration. More to come soon…
