Wishing everyone a full on double rainbow across the sky weekend!!

Meredith & David, Hitched in the Catksills

What a super gorgeous location for a wedding!
Meredith and David made it happen at Kaaterskill in the Catskills.

Amongst the goats, chickens, pigs, and sheep, it was a groovy afternoon and evening. The two of them handled a lot of the details on their own (like doing their own flowers!) which is always admirable.

We created a super fun polaroid booth, and also shot a stop motion video of their ceremony which you can see here!

The Good Stuff

Wanted to mention the Manitou Experience, a camp for boys who have lost a parent.

I was asked to donate photography to an auction they had earlier this summer..and I was honored.

Being that camp days were some of the best days of my life (!) and that my mom is a bereavement counselor as well, i am especially impressed with an organization like this.

Thanks Manitou for all you do.

(Here is the image that I donated)

Suburbian Summer

I really love heading out of the city to photograph because i love being surprised by grass, lawns, winding roads!
The surprise happens everytime!

Kind of like that ani difranco song that i used to (and still do) love where she's talking about goldfish having no memory and says
"and that little plastic castle is a surprise every time."
oh i might have to dig up that cd again!

anyway, awesome morning in Short Hills NJ with this super cute foursome!

Hope you're getting a chance to swing on the swings too this summer!

happy weekend.

36 Hours in Vancouver

We hit the ground running in Vancouver. We had only 36 hours before my fam was meeting us there to set sail to Alaska.
As usual, we did minimal research before arriving, which makes it that much more fun when we have a pretty killer time thanks to everyone we meet along the way!

It started with Marta...our waitress at Glowbal Grill in Yaletown. She was awesome! Sent us to Main Street, which we probably never would have found/done in such a short time, since it was a cab ride away. Reminded me a little of West 3rd Street in LA which I love.



On Main Street, we met our super uber helpful, quirky, and fun friend whose card we lost so i forgot her name! She gave us a ridiculous amount of tips and since her shop Eugene Choo was definitely my favorite on Main Street, I trusted what she had to say!



She sent us for a drink at Salt in Gastown, which is a super find since its down an alley literally called Blood Alley. Super swell, would fit in perfectly in Brooklyn. We even drank the same sparkling rose that our friend Frank served at a party only a few nights earlier as a reminder of the hangover we did actually get rid of.







From there, our bartender at Salt sent us to dinner at Bao Bei in Chinatown which by this point had been recommended by everyone else as well. And rightly so! Amazing cocktail with gin, grapefruit, and cava started it off. And then an assortment of other tasty morsels, of which i definitely remember the squid! If i'm back in vancouver, i'll be back to Bao Bei.

A stroll back to our hotel....





Next day!

The most amazing poached eggs ever. Seriously. Have you ever seen ORANGE eggs? They were from a different planet. The food on the west coast just seems to take organic to a different level!



Then we rented bikes and headed to Stanley Park. We got a little lost, but thankfully had time to stop and eat raspberries off the trees and didnt even miss the ship.





Groovy Trip! Thanks a lot Vancouver! We'll be back!
