Sites of Seattle, WA

I haven’t lived in Seattle since 2008, so the other week, when visiting Seattle to photograph a wedding, I took the opportunity to re-visit some classic sites of Seattle.  Two locations that always provide great views are Gas Works Park and Golden Gardens. Gas Works Park has a great view of downtown Seattle while Golden Gardens has breathtaking views of the Olympics Mountains. And, or course, the sunset views there are pretty spectacular, particularly during the summer. So if you ever have the opportunity to visit Seattle I definitely recommend checking out this places.

Paris, France Engagement – Nancy & Bertrand

Much like fish and chips in London or milk and cookies in the United States, the same can be said for love and Paris. How can you think of one and not the other? Paris IS the city of love after all. The city is filled with romance from its beautiful city streets and stunning architecture to its music and food. And it’s here, in Paris, that Nancy and Bertrand fell in love.

Nancy, who’s originally from the U.S., and Bertrand, who’s originally from Paris, make an adorable couple! Their cultured and worldly backgrounds make them a great match. Nancy’s experience in France also makes her one of Paris’s best wedding planners for foreigners. Catering to non-French natives, Fete in France, helps couples plan and execute memorable wedding ceremonies in France.

They say that Paris is the “City of Lights” or the “City of Love”. And recently, on a relatively quick trip to England, we had the opportunity to visit Paris, France. While I’ve been there before, Paris is definitely the “City of Love,” as there were so many couples/lovers enjoying each others company along the Siene River. It’s also one of those cities that will never get old, at least for me. The last time that I was there was 10 years ago and I only had a 2 days there, so it was power tourism at its finest. This time around, I walked a little slower and tried to appreciate the French culture within the beautiful city. And while there were a lot of tourists, I can’t really complain, because whenever you’re on holiday inevitably cross paths with some really cool travelers who you can just shoot the breeze about your travels. So for now, here’s a quick preview of Paris. Look for the full post next week or so.

St. Paul’s, London, England

So on another recent trip to London, England, I took some free time to check out another site or 2 that I didn’t get to see on my first trip. I only had a couple hours so I checked out the Millenium Bridge (again), but walked around the outside of St. Paul’s Cathedral. It’s a very interesting bit of city planning to have such a modern structure lead people directly to one the most iconic and historical sites in London. On the opposite of the bridge from St Paul’s is Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, but sadly I was not able to get a photo of it… just another good reason to go back and visit London.

London Engagement Shoot: Helena & Adam

You probably hear the phrase, “made for each other” or “they’re perfect together.” Yes, they both apply to Helena and Adam, but to say either would be an understatement for them. Their chemistry and love are beyond perfect. I cannot even articulate it. And having had the opportunity to spend an afternoon of photos and evening following by hours of meandering, sordid conversation, dinner, and drinks, they are definitely one of my favorite fun couples. They are such a fun whimsical and light-hearted couple that know how to live life and not take it too seriously! I mean, just look the photo of them with Mickey and Minnie! And not even the London rain could dampen their spirits.

London, England

Since this was my first time to London, I had a secret desire to come back with a British accent so that I can perfect my own Harry Potter or James Bond impersonation (take your pick of which one you like more). But with only a few days scheduled for my visit, it was highly unlikely. And while I was in London, I tried to see as much as possible. Neither the cold temps nor the rain would stop me, but they did slow me down from time to time. And when they did slow me, I made sure that I had my obligatory cup of tea. I really must say that those Brits/Londoners/Londonites really love their tea! All in all, I had a jolly good time! And I can’t wait to go back again!

London Engagement Shoot: Maria & Joe

On a cold and brisk Saturday afternoon in Central London, Maria and Joe braved the elements for their engagement shoot. They fought bumper to bumper traffic and temps near 40 degrees F and still managed to be fun and cheerful at their engagement session. Rolling with punches and making the most of any situation-that’s just who they are. Lovers from two different countries, Maria from the United States and Joe from the UK, it’s easy to see why their relationship is so strong.

London, England (preview)

For the first time in a very long time, I was able to go into full blown tourist mode, trying to take photos of everything in sight. Having never been to London before, I visited many of the popular tourist sites such as the Tower Bridge, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. Here’s just a preview of the many photos that I took on my trip.  There will be a lot more photos in another blog post to follow in the coming weeks.

Hartford, Connecticut

When you think of Hartford, CT, what comes into mind? The Whalers, their old hockey team? Maybe? Classic New England, of course? What about history? Did you know that Hartford was once the home of several notable American people such as Noah Webster, author of the dictionary, J.P. Morgan and Mark Twain. Now, we’re not getting paid by the city’s tourist office to sell the city, but there’s surprisingly a lot of little history tucked away in this small New England city.
