Spotted: Aventuras en Mexico

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Hey there lovely,

I could have spent the week behind a desk.
I could have spent the week studying for mid-terms.
I could have stayed in, watching the snow fall outside my window.

Instead, I went to Mexico.
HOT, beachy Mexico- for 7 sweet days.
Just another 29 photographer and I.
Life is fair after all.

That’s my “I’m on a boat, and I don’t even care” face, captured by talented Jennifer Sosa

Cabo and Puerto Vallarta were beautiful. Go there.
Do it.

Photog Retreat 2011 was a 7-day learning experience on a Mexican Riviera cruise.
Workshops, networking, exotic photo shoots… and an overdose of fun.

Freestyle eating made me gain a good 5 lbs.
So worth it.

This is our faux engagement shoot on the boat:

And this is me showing how versatile I am:

(Meet her below- I love her)

Amy (below) was the perfect roommate for me.
I want to kill happy people in the morning, you know?
It took my husband a good 3 months to realize that he’s better off not talking to me til at least 10 a.m.
But Amy here was just like me.
Our quiet waking up and getting ready hours were a bliss.
Plus, we were all-smiles the rest of the day ;)


Priceless:

*Repeat the picture above 7X= our week.


NOT YOUR TYPICAL WORKSHOP AT ALL.

Love,

Spotted: Just the three of us.

Did you take your photographer to your honeymoon???

No.
That would be creepy.

We just happened to bump into each other.
Las Vegas, NV- February 22, 2011
*I was attending WPPI for that whole week.

Louisa & Jess, Part II


Classic.

A toast on Las Vegas Blvd.

Hoping to see you in Maui, Tahiti, Jamaica, Bahamas…

Spotted: Park City, Utah Wedding- Louisa & Jess

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Contrary to everyone’s suspicion, I do not spend the entire winter in tropical countries.
That’s cheating. Plus, I love the winter in Utah.
Today, I’ll prove it.

But there is nothing happier than a happy marriage.”

congratulating her on her engagement.

 

Meet the kind of love story that makes you swoon:

Bride “jews”(a.k.a jewels)- that’s what happens when you label your bridal accessories right after your bachelorette party

Make up & Hair done by Oh LaLa Inc. Studio in Park City.

Getting ready with the bridesmaids.

Bride + Father of the bride

Louisa and Jess were married in Park City at The Shop-Yoga Studio, which is a FABULOUS solution for winter chilliness.
The venue has perfect lighting (help your photographer, please), and heated cool-looking floors. I loved it, and recommend it.


Details. Details. Details.
Louisa baked the cake herself, and it was delicious (and gorgeous).

Louisa & Jess,
May you find happiness in each other every single day.
Thank you for sharing these memories with me.

xoxo,
P
