Up next: Mexican Destination Wedding
Friday, July 29th, 2011Spotted: A Boston Summer Wedding
Wednesday, July 27th, 2011Meet Eliana & Sami.
She’s from Brazil. He’s from Libya.
They met in California.
They fell in love.
I flew to Boston for their wedding, and we made magic happen.
Their chemistry, plus the beautiful location, and the help of my ninja photog friend Jennifer Sosa (who second shot), made this one EASY-BREEZY-BEAUTIFUL.
Eliana’s emerald necklace was the most gorgeous bridal accessory I’ve seen in a while.
All the girls rode together to the church.
Jitters!
Jitters!
Moments before entering the church, I sat with Eliana and just watched her.
Moments like this are what makes me love weddings so much.
So much excitement, yet her serenity comes through.
They were married in an Orthodox church, and the ceremony was beautiful.
KISS THE BRIDE.
MARRIED!
Their reception was at the Four Points by Sheraton in Norwood.
The Reception:
They are such a culturally rich couple! The live band was awesome!
Libyan songs have such a danceable beat to them, it was hard to keep myself from jumping in.
Sami sang their “first dance”.
The Doors- Touch Me : they would go to Venice Beach on their dates to watch this The Doors cover band, so he incorporated that.
Needless to say, it was awesome.
Talk about a talented groom! He also played for Eliana.
Crazy Brazilians/Libyans!
Spotted: A good summer read.
Monday, July 11th, 2011What are days for?
Days are where we live.
They come, they wake us
Time and time over.
They are to be happy in:
Where can we live but days?
(Philip Larkin, ‘Days’)
I’m reading “One Day”by David Nicholls, and I confess it’s hard to want to work and blog when I could be reading it.
I’m loving it more than just because it’s a love story, I am loving it because of the way it is told.
Every chapter starts on the same day of a different year : July 15.
You get bits and pieces of this day here and there, and a beautiful story comes together.
Good stuff !
They also made the story into a movie (the picture above), and although I know I’ll like the book better, I cannot make myself miss a film that has Jim Stuges on it.
This is me reading:
(yes, I bought the book because the kiss looked HOT)
Spotted: Red Lips in NYC/Boston
Friday, July 8th, 2011Last weekend I went to NYC
I payed a visit to my fabulous friend and fellow photog Jennifer Sosa.
We coffee shop-hopped in Chelsea and chatted about pretty things
(I’m no coffee-drinker, but my heart melted when I saw this. I wish someone would do that to my hot cocoa)
I also met Lindsay.
Cheeky, gorgeous, Lindsay.
We became the “Sisterhood of the traveling red lipstick” for a day.
When I travel, it’s all about the F O O D.
We found this mexican food truck in a corner under the highland.
I had the best torta (shredded pork, cheese, beans, jalapeños, guacamole, and chilies), and coke.
CANE SUGAR coke, of course.
Jen got to use her Contax 645 for the first time!
It was very emotional.
Jen and I packed our tilt-shift lens and headed to Boston for a wedding.
Arriving a day before the event, we had a lot of time to play.
The day before I had found this skirt at Anthropologie for $29!!! The pictures below illustrate perfectly my joy.
Jen is the reason why I have decent pictures of me.
Silly, but decent.
Love,
P
