Mesmerized by the way two people love each other, each so uniquely.  I always leave room for dessert. Believe swear words are just sentence embellishers. Think indulgences are necessary in this life.

Parties with all the best people in their lives.

Love stories in all forms without the white dress... or maybe they wore white, it happens.

Just my little thoughts on different topics of planning your wedding day big party or just you two.

Stories of two lovers making it all about them, as they should.

The Castle. When deciding we’d spend a day or so in Ireland I really just wanted to drive the countryside. Get off the highway and just drive. Seeing as much of it as I could see. Meg is OBSESSED with castles. I can’t even tell you how much so in words. I began looking through castle ruins […]

Ireland. We only had 48 hours. We landed at 11am on Saturday and our flight left at 11am on Monday. So really outside of the airport we had about 45 hours. It’s so weird to think that’s all we were there. It seemed like we did so much and it ended up being my favorite part […]

France. Is kind of a blur. So much happened in 3 days on about 8 hours of sleep. Honestly we didn’t put alot of effort into planning the France portion of our trip. Not that Meg and I make much of an effort when it comes to planning anyway. That should tell you how ready […]

About a month and a half ago after a night of a few drinks Meg and I sat on the floor of her parents condo in Kauai Facetiming with her sister, Steph. Steph half jokingly said we should meet her in Paris in a few weeks. Without hesitation Meg and I, probably in sync, said […]

I ran away from Thanksgiving. Straight up. I’m not a runner. Well actually I like running, for some cardio, but I don’t normally run from my “problems.” I’m a little bit on the confrontational side. Or a lot bit. Depends on who you talk to 😉   I’d rather address things head on and then […]

I don’t even know where to start. Kauai just kinda happened. Meg was headed to Kauai and asked me to come with her, a much needed girls trip. I rearranged some things in my schedule and booked a ticket there. One way. Initially I was considering a flight home on Thursday. But, maybe, Friday. Maybe. […]

I had been home from Kauai for 90 minutes when I showed up to photography Paige & Russ for their Missoula MT engagement photos. How I had energy after a week of craziness and a 9 hours of travel with very little, basically no, sleep is amazing. I think when it comes to energy we […]

I spent the last 2 weeks in Vancouver. I could go on and on about the 2 weeks there, but that’s not what this post is for. A good portion of my closest friends are photographers. So it’s inevitable at some point I’m going to be in front of the camera rather than behind it. For […]

Justine is one of my best friends. And when she invited me up to Vancouver BC for Canadian Thanksgiving on the Sunshine Coast…. immediate yes. Hands down. I’ll be there.
