• Relaxing in Key West


    Key West, the southernmost spot in the U.S., is the closest one can come to experiencing the Caribbean vibe without actually leaving the country. Appropriately enough we stayed at a resort named Southernmost on the Beach, a beautifully furnished hotel with ocean views, gorgeously manicured grounds, and the perfect distance from the sometimes rowdy crowds…

  • Exploring the Temples of Bangkok


    A wedding in the northeast region of Thailand took my husband and I on an adventure to explore a new (to us!) part of Asia. We arrived in Bangkok shortly after the big flood of 2011, however little of the city appeared damaged and life seemed to be continuing as normal. In an effort to see…

  • Old Lucketts Store


    Old Lucketts Store is the place to visit for lovers of all things shabby chic, vintage, or just beautiful and one-of-a-kind. Old Lucketts store is about 1 hour outside of DC, in Leesburg, Virginia. It’s an absolute treasure, and as a wedding photographer, I love to send my brides out to discover amazing finds for…

  • Winter Wonderland: Italy + Austria


    My husband surprised me at Christmas with my first trip to Europe—my first big adventure!—and it was one month away. The tickets were booked and there was no turning back. When the time came, we jumped on a plane, flew 10 hours, and landed for our 10 day winter European adventure, which began in Venice.…

  • Let Me Take You to Rio


    We went to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with two of our best friends, and it was amazing! The weather, the people, the caipirinhas on Copacabana beach… It was undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. This was the second tour we have booked with Friendly Planet Travel, and we were amazed…

  • The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille


    Africa has a special place in my heart… I leave a small piece of it every time I visit. I was itching to show my husband the beauty of the country, the warmth of the people and the incredible hospitality that they draw deep from within their souls to show us “western visitors” the true…

  • Scenes from Mykonos


    In August I traveled to Mykonos, Greece to photograph a couple’s engagement, and then their wedding in Athens, Greece. I spent a full day wandering the streets of Mykonos to soak up as much of the sights as I could. Mykonos is lined with white buildings, walls and paths that are adorned with playfully painted…

  • Wining, Dining, & Markets in Argentina


    Argentina is a passionate country. They are passionate about their food, their wine, futbol and the tango. We started off our trip in Buenos Aires eating at an amazing steak restaurant in the Soho district. The food is truly amazing there, including the Argentinian Malbec to match it. Buenos Aires is filled with many open…

  • Driving the Vicentine Coast of Portugal


    Last August one of my closest friends came to visit Portugal. One thing we always seem to end up doing when we’re in the same place together for longer than 24 hours is pack a tent and hit the road – it’s our thing and we’re getting pretty good at it! The first time we…

  • An Afternoon Stroll in NOLA


    The sun came up early, peeking through the wooden slats of the antique blinds hanging in the room of our bed and breakfast, calling us out to explore. We walked from our cozy B&B on Esplanade, to the French Quarter, stopping frequently to take in the beautiful day and incredible architecture that surrounded us. New…

  • Two Weeks in Spain


    Spain is a special place for me. I had the opportunity to travel there in high school for the first time, as part of an exchange program. The family I was placed with became like my extended family, and whenever I have the chance, I go back to visit. My husband, Eric, is the most…

  • Siem Reap


    We were lucky enough to visit Cambodia after two amazing weeks in Thailand. We flew to Siem Reap on a short, easy, and inexpensive flight from Bangkok. Upon arriving in Siem Reap, we made our way to our hotel, the Golden Temple Hotel. This small boutique hotel had the friendliest staff, very clean and cozy rooms…
