In the beginning of November, I hopped down to Los Angeles for just a couple days and just hung out with some friends, enjoying low-key delicious meals, playing board games, and even putting together some floral arrangements just for fun. Here’s just a little glimpse from my visit. Flowers from our LA Flower Market trip….
Greetings from New York! I am currently in the city again, but I am still posting about last month’s trip. We packed in the New York eats as always, between our trip to India and my photographing a Brooklyn wedding. It was a lovely autumn visit all in all. Gifts from Jesse on the left:…
The final day of Anika and Vijay’s wedding may well have been the most spectacular of the three, which is no small feat when you look back on it all. Our day started with a tour of Jaisalmer, and then we came back for the Baraat, which did indeed include Vijay riding in on an…
I have one more India excursion to share before we return to the last post on the Indian wedding festivities. On Saturday morning, the last full day of the wedding, we headed out early for a brief visit to the town of Jaisalmer. The palace where we were staying was about 30 minutes from the…
I don’t do family portraits all that often, but this one was a special gift from my friend Nancy to her sister-in-law’s family, and it was so fun. We met up in South Bay at Shoreline Park. The weather was perfect with just a touch of California autumn; little Hunter was just a bundle of…
We continue on day two of the incredible wedding in India. On the wedding itinerary, it said simply, Sunset at the Lalhmana Sand Dunes. We all piled on to a bus and headed out from the palace, not knowing what to expect. I spotted some camels on the side of the road as we drove by,…
It was like we were living in a beautiful fantasy, or more specifically, Anika’s beautiful fantasy. Even now, as I look back on these photographs, it feels like a dream, too incredible for reality. I had photographed Anika and Vijay’s unique and very sweet proposal last year, but for their wedding, they gave me the…
On the first of October, I embarked on an incredible, if brief, trip to India to attend a friend’s wedding in Jaisalmer. Our journey went like this: Manhattan to Newark by train (1.5-hours with some hiccups). Newark to Delhi (14-hour flight). Delhi overnight. Delhi to Jodhpur (1-hour flight). And Jodhpur to the palace outside Jaisalmer…
Oh, Ohio. I grew up in Ohio from middle school through high school, but my visits now are few and far between. It was such a pleasure to be back for Karen and Sam’s beautiful wedding in the state capitol and then return to Cincinnati for a week too. We started off in downtown Columbus….
The first week of September, I got to do something I hadn’t done in over six years: attend a wedding as a guest! I headed to Kansas City, Missouri, (and a little bit of Kansas too) to play Jesse’s +1 at our college friend Kellyann’s wedding. I had never been to Kansas City, so of…
I’ve been having such wonderful foodie adventures all over the place, it was so lovely to turn around and visit a highly-rated restaurant right here in Oakland. Commis is Oakland’s first and only Michelin-starred restaurant. Its tasting menu is priced at $85/pp, and with a seat at the chef’s table in the center of the…
After a week at TAF, we drove back up from North Manchester, Indiana, to Chicago. I visit the city regularly, about once or twice a year, and though I’ve never lived in Chicago, it always feels a bit like home. Our days after TAF were still filled with TAFers, doing our classic post-TAF gathering in…
