Allison + Michael

We photographed a lovely wedding reception for Allison and Michael at the Astor's Mansion in Newport. This was a celebration to share with their family and friends as they previously had a small ceremony. Allison went to high school with me so it was especially fun to photograph her wedding and see so many faces I know (and get extra hugs). Just a really sweet day...





A few favorites of the couple...





I loved how you could really feel the history of the place, almost like the echoes of countless parties from by gone eras still lingered in the air and mingled with their celebration.



Allison + Michael's little girl...one of my very favorite moments of the evening. That's love, in it's purest form...





I loved watching them dance together- something about the way their arms would drape over each other was at once so soft and so ardent.





Allison + Michael,
Such a warm feeling to be among your family and friends- the true meaning of celebration.

A few more favorites:

Over the weekend I had the pleasant surprise of having my logo featured on a website called Logo of the Day , created by fellow Aussie Jacob Cass as a place to share design ideas. I enjoyed reading the interesting comments on what a logo should say and do for your identity and your business. My logo is the creation of the wonderful people at Hello Lucky (who also make the most beautiful invitations, in case anyone's looking).

On another note, I think everyone should find someone to hug like this today...



Happy Spring!

How does time fly by...

I just realized almost a month has passed by and my blog here has been getting a little lonely...I have a lot of exciting things in the works which have been taking up all my time. A few hints of things to come...a brand new studio space, handmade (+environmentally friendly) line of prints, really cool custom framing, and an effort to help raise money for thirst relief, just to name a few. Very excited for the year to come and the lovely adventures it will bring.

A new favorite image from the wedding I'm currently working on...it tugs at my heart.
