I am often quite happy to hibernate and never go outside– especially in the winter, but I’ll admit, generally too. This serves me well during a shelter-in-place pandemic. Alex, however, dissolves away inside. He says he is fine with staying in, but he is a natural extrovert, an outdoor person, and all of this has…
On Christmas Day we flew from Maui over to Oahu for part two of our Hawaii vacation. We stayed with our friends Crystal and Chris near Diamond Head and circled the whole island seeing the beautiful sights and eating all the delicious things. This was my first time on Oahu, and I would definitely come…
We originally thought about visiting Hawaii over the holidays because flights were pretty reasonable. However, as soon as we looked for housing between Christmas and New Year’s we realized the only options left were $10,000/night. So we made alternate plans to visit West Texas instead. But as soon as we did, Alex’s friends Chris and…
After hours of delayed flights from Melbourne, we finally reached Sydney, Australia! This was the whole inspiration for the Australia trip: to visit Tiffany and Greg who had moved to Sydney half a year prior, and of course Howard, whose wedding was the reason I visited in 2016. Our friend Tim had also just moved…
Melbourne! I first visited Melbourne three years prior on our whirlwind tour through New Zealand and Australia. My time in Melbourne was brief but wonderful. This time, visiting Australia with Alex, we had different work schedules which meant that he arrived in Melbourne three days before me, we then took off for our road trip…
We are back with part two of Priyanka and Karthik’s beautiful wedding! Here on the main wedding day we have the baraat (complete with a horse ridden down the police-cordoned street), the ceremony (with gorgeous ombre chairs set in the round), and the reception (with a heartfelt father-daughter dance, lovely speeches, and a special performance…
Priyanka and Karthik were wed in a spectacular Indian wedding that spanned four days and two states! I am happy to share the first three days of the wedding below, and the main ceremony and reception day will be in a second post to follow. We start at Priyanka’s family home in Indiana with the…
We’ve reached the finale of our Switzerland adventures! Talya and I headed to Zurich for the last stop on our trip. She just had part of a day there, and I had about 24 hours. After checking in to my hotel, we went out to lunch at a place called Roots and Friends, which was…
Welcome to Switzerland! This whole visit was prompted by the fact that Icelandair bundles their flights so that a flight to Europe includes a stopover in Iceland for free– so I figured if I was going to Iceland I should really pick a destination to visit in Europe as well! I’d never been to Switzerland,…
Let’s take a little trip to the equator today! I was so excited to meet up with the Bermudez family over in Singapore and continue our little tradition of family portraits together. We started working together before little Harrison was born, and this adorable family has since moved to Singapore and lived there for just over…
Tien and Jeremy’s love story is a global tale for the modern age. Jeremy is Korean but grew up in Michigan and later lived in Korea and California. Tien is Taiwanese but grew up in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Malaysia before going to college at the University of Michigan… where Jeremy also went! But they…
Emily and Adithya are two warm souls who are so incredibly loved by their friends and family. The tears started early in the day, when Emily’s mother saw her all dressed up in her wedding gown. And just before Emily walked down the aisle, it was the two best men who were wiping tears from…
