surf, sand, sun, tequila, will + candice = the best destination wedding weekend ever!04.29.2012

i figured it’s been so long since i’ve posted a wedding here, that it’d be ok to go ahead + inundate you with a giant post featuring one of my most favorite weddings to date.  remember candice + will’s engagement shoot (featuring one of my most seemingly empty brooklyn bridge shots ever…)?  well here they are again in the full glory of their beautiful + creative selves.  i was really blown away by all of the thought + tiniest of details that went into this destination wedding weekend.  it was a labor of love to the fullest extent.  the mayan riviera of mexico was the perfect backdrop, + the azul beach hotel was the perfect setting.  one of my favorite details was how the couple chose to do their guest book… they had their guests pick a destination in a world atlas book, + mark the spot with a hand written note that they either most wanted to go or most loved…  being somewhat of a  globetrotter myself, i was so partial to this way of involving their guests with their love of travel.  although those gold painted records take the cake for place setting of the year… music really does bring the people together.  ok, enough from me… here’s candice + will, + their amazing little gathering of friends + family for a giant love fest ocean side…

mexico – bestill my heart…04.23.2012

i was lucky enough to shoot an amazing destination wedding in mexico last week… i’ve done a serious amount of globetrotting in my 31 years, but have never spent any time in central america. i think to say that i fell head over heels in love with tulum + vallidolid is an understatement. it’s one of the loveliest places on earth that i’ve ever been to. the fact the every meal was amazing, + that the people were so warm + friendly didn’t hurt either… here’s my snaps…

here + there + a little bit of everywhere…04.12.2012

i’m currently at JFK, waiting to board a plane to the mayan riviera in Mexico for a week.  I’ve got a great destination wedding on Saturday with these two lovelies…  cannot wait for their wedding.  (how adorable is their wedding website btw???)  it’ll be a stunning labor of love for sure… meanwhile i wanted to post a few photos of aven + i.  while i was in hawaii I asked my good friend ruth if she’d snap a few photos of my babe + i.  i of course have about a gazillion photos of aven, but actually very very few of the two of us.  ruth’s a really fantastic photographer, you should check out her underwater maternity sessions… (here’s her latest)…. anyways as cliche as it sounds, the time just flies by when you have a little one.  i heard a saying lately that said “you have a child for life, but a baby for just a year”.  it’s so true…  aven’s 10 months + is more toddler + less baby all the time… so i particularly treasure these photos of her + i!  alright, flight’s boarding… gotta run!click HERE to see ruth’s whole post!
