Karen and Casey are such a warm, down-to-earth couple. Though they live together in Philadelphia, they traveled to San Francisco to be wed near where Karen grew up, and after the wedding, they embarked on a cross-country road trip, visiting as many National Parks as possible on their way back to Pennsylvania. Sounds like an amazing and unique…
On a lovely October day, I gathered a couple of my friends for a little hike around San Francisco. We started at Lover’s Point in the Presidio and wandered our way over to Ocean Beach. So many gorgeous sights to see. Dan, me, Tiffany, and Paul. Move here soon, Tiffany! Sneaking in two photos from Mt….
Art all around Philly! The first weekend of October, hundreds of artists opened their doors to the public as part of the Philadelphia Open Studio Tours. Check out some of the artists– and my other art wanderings around the city– below. A little visit to the Center of Art in Wood when I was walking around Old City…
More Philly adventures! I was back in Philly again this month, hanging out with Justin and exploring the city. Here is an assortment of snapshots from around town. To kick it off, the Free Library of Philadelphia. I went in search of a book on Robert Mapplethorpe’s “The Perfect Moment” exhibit that toured the country…
Two mini adventures with Duke friends around the Bay. One: Point Reyes, a tree tunnel, and an abandoned ship. Two: A hike up Panoramic Hill with views as lovely as promised. Debo, Dan, and I headed up to North Bay. Our first stop: Point Reyes lighthouse. Next, we went to visit this awesome tree tunnel! …

The Fairmount district of Philadelphia is marked by a row of world-class museums and sprinkled throughout with streets lined with brownstones. And then right in the middle of the neighborhood is a huge former prison: The Eastern State Pentitentiary. It was the first prison truly designed with ‘penitence’ (reform vs. punishment’) in mind, and its design became…
Rooftop views, summer pop-ups, cute restaurants, and lots of awesome art installations. Summertime in Philly. Gorgeous views over the city from Le Bok Fin, a temporary pop-up at the former technical school. I made a half-hearted attempt to get a pizza from Pizzeria Beddia, which was recently crowned the Best Pizza in America by Bon…
I was just in NYC again last weekend, but here’s a little overview of my previous visit back in July. I arrived on the Fourth of July and got prime access to the Macy’s fireworks show; hung out with friends and indulged in some good eats; and wandered the Flatiron district, the Whitney, and the…
Boston is a pretty fun place to be for Independence Day. I was lucky enough to be in town to photograph Ami & Arjun’s gorgeous wedding, and from Boston I then hopped down to NYC on the 4th of July to continue the festivities and celebrations down there. Here is a glimpse at my time exploring…
It was such a special treat to return to this beautiful Sunol home and photograph my second wedding there. My first wedding at the house was for Bryna’s brother Ryan in 2011. This time, I got to meet and work with Bryna and her groom Andrew. Bryna and Andrew have been together for twelve years, and over half of that was…
A country within a city. We paid a little visit to the Vatican while we were in Rome, waiting for an hour in a line that turned out to be the wrong line anyway, and eventually getting to see the Sistine Chapel. And this makes for the final post of our “KAMS in Europe” tour! Recap the…
