One and a half hours northeast of San Francisco, tucked away in an expanse of open fields, is an adorable inn and barn that serves as the perfect little wedding venue: Park Winters. My friend Tiffany will be getting married there later this year (and I will be photographing it). This spring, Park Winters opened…
March! Champagne, museums, the symphony, and a couple gardens. See my local travelogues below. Cheers! Champagne date with Rachael, Amanda, & Bri.

Over Christmas, Justin and I popped over from Philadelphia to New York City for a weekend filled wth art museums, Jewish and Chinese eateries, and other wanderings. Would you believe I’ve never ever been to the Guggenheim before? I finally made a visit thanks to my SFMOMA membership, which includes reciprocal access to the Guggenheim, The Whitney, and…

“Imagine your drunk best friend,” said Casey, ” crossed with a well-researched museum docent.” So described the kind of tone promised by Museum Hack in its alternative, modern museum tours. I was excited to test out one of these “Un-Highlights” tours when they offered me a pair of media tickets. Granted, I kind of love traditional, nerdy museum-going;…
I stood on the side of the road, the mist rolling gently through the mountains before me. Calmness. Gratitude. I had never been so glad to see a rainy day. Normally people are disappointed when rain pervades their Yosemite trip. You might normally hope for sunny skies or a classic golden hour and a beautiful sunset. But I’ve seen…
At the end of August, I headed back to Philly again and made a weekend road trip from there to attend my friend Amanda’s wedding in Chantilly, Virginia. Philly to Chantilly! See a recap of the whole week below. First, I attended The Knot’s wedding industry event at Bok, a converted high school which has…

My friend Lauren was wed in this beautiful Catholic Church…
This was a super quick visit to Boston. We drove about seven hours from Buffalo, since Justin had to be in Cambridge for work on Monday. We arrived in Cambridge around 2am and left again that evening to drive another five hours back to Philadelphia. Whirlwind trip, but still wonderful for me anyway! While Justin was at work,…
