With all of the traveling I have been doing back and forth between NYC and London, my time for exploring has been limited but I still I try and do as much of it as possible. The latest thing I did in London was head to the Sunday flower market on Columbia Road. It was a smorgasbord of beautiful buds surrounded by unique shops. I was by myself for this trip, so it was little difficult to photograph the market and carry all of the flowers I bought, but that gives me all the more reason to visit again!

marissa + rick : new orleans

I was fortunate to spend my first time in New Orleans photographing Marissa & Rick’s wedding and it was a trip I will never forget! Their celebration embraced the spirit of the city and it was felt among everyone- friends, family, and passersby alike. Thank you so much to Marissa & Rick for bringing me down south to capture the weekend!

happy birthday!

Today is quite the milestone for this handsome fella- the big 3-0. Unfortunately, because of my work schedule and the recent move, I can’t be in the same city as Reid so I wanted to give him a little birthday shout out here (though he may kill me for posting a few of these photos). So if you happen to see him around today, give him a big hug and “happy birthday” from me! Love you! (Square images shot on the Rollei, black and white images shot on the lomo lc-a)

Here are a few images from an afternoon spent at the ball park with my nieces and nephew. I was in Tennessee for work and got to spend a little bit of time with these kiddos. Its always a fun time with this crew and love getting to see them and their mom and dad when I am in town, just wish I was there more often!

I have been meaning to post so many of the weddings and travels I photographed in 2011 and am now finally getting around to it. Emily & Jon were married at the beautiful Bedell Cellars on the the North Fork of Long Island last September. It was such a classically beautiful celebration on a perfect end of summer day. And a BIG thank you to Jamie Clayton who shot with me that day. I hope you enjoy the images!

london calling

It has been pretty quiet on the blog lately and I can say it is due to the fact that up until a few days ago my husband and I have been stuck in a little bit of a life limbo. Back in the fall an opportunity to move abroad to London came about and after many hours of discussion, we decided to take it!

We had lived in London for the first couple years of our marriage and it has always been a special city to us, but simply because we wanted to move back didn’t mean it was official– we still had to apply for visas. After filling out an insane amount of paper work and gathering a lifetime of supporting documents, this passed Friday we got the official word that our visas had been approved, thus the end of being in limbo!

The moving process starts this week and even though it is a little bit daunting to think about, but we are both so excited. As far as my work is concerned, I will still be shooting in the states for certain months out of the year with plans to expand business in London and Europe. Basically, I will be based out of 2 cities- NYC and London, but willing to travel the world. Can’t wait to share more about this adventure we are about to embark on and hope you enjoy it with us!

Ann Stewart & Pearson welcomed guests who had traveled across the country to a family friend’s home to kickoff the weekend celebrations with a summer soiree. It was a perfect summer evening filled with the sounds of bluegrass and that sweet southern air. More images from the wedding celebration to come soon!

There is a 2 page spread focusing on their wedding (p. 24-25) and additional images were used on page 7 along with two more full page photographs on pages 9 and 108. I will be sure to post some of my favorites from the day here soon but until then, go check out the magazine! And many, many thanks to Jamie Clayton for second shooting with me!
