This city is full of surprises. Even with all the times I have visited in the last couple years, no two trips have ever felt the same. This time it was a really quick visit, just two short days, one of them Valentine’s. No romantic liaisons, but lots of awesome friends! I spent most of…
Christine has a cheerful demeanor, an easy smile that breaks across her face and leaves an endearing little dimple on her left cheek. Scott is sharp-witted, a quiet observer, but always willing to indulge and humor those around him. They’ve been inseparable for years, and it’s fun to watch how they support one another. It was…
Pristine, perfect, posed photos are nice. But to me, the imperfect ones are the real gems. I want to trap the sneaky little moments that fly by, because they are the split seconds that reveal our true spirits and remind us to celebrate life as it is, not just as we stage it to be….
She was a little bundle of nerves all morning. She just could not wait to marry the love of her life. It was seven years ago that she had reached between the seats of a bus to tap him on the shoulder. They were on their way to a sorority/fraternity party, and she had wanted…
I just happened to have some free Southwest flights that were expiring, and I thought, why not visit Philadelphia? Really, that’s it.

Below, I share with you just a few images of Karly & Mario’s wedding album…
I know I know, it’s almost February, and I am still back in 2011, recapping weddings. Please forgive me. I thought about letting this post slide by, but I simply couldn’t let it go. 2011 was filled to the brim with such wonderful couples, unique venues all across the country, the most touching moments, and above…

Pei-Hua and Tony first met when they were they first joined AOL and were sent to training in Virginia. Six weeks of work training led to a cross-country long distance relationship, and a couple years later, Tony joined Pei-Hua in California to move into the next stage of their lives together. It was a brisk…
2011 was a lovely year filled with little surprises. I was lucky enough to fill my days with travel, photography, and even yogurtland and ballet. Oh, and I even managed to read 36 books (thank you iPad). And I blogged and blogged through it all. Below, I share some of my personal posts reflecting on…

I rented the beautiful Contax 645, purchased my own Canon EOS3, and blogged all my adventures and experiments along the way, from comparing film vs. digital to comparing photo labs. My…
