Orvieto, our favorite stop.

The narrow streets of Orvieto.


The film is finally developed!
Here are some of my favorite images from our trip to Italy in May.
It rained in Rome for 3 out of 4 days, but we weren’t discouraged! Orvieto had the best weather, as you can kinda see in the black and whites which are very luminous and bright.
Loved this sweet older Italian couple watching the sunset over Orvieto’s cathedral in the piazza del duomo. The shops selling pretty ceramic plates (ceramiche) in the square, Chandler in plaid :) , a street in Orvieto (with no tourists!), Chandler with his Super 8 movie camera near Orvieto’s golden duomo, and the duomo viewed from a side street, soaked in the afternoon’s sunlight.
Stay tuned for more in the next post!

Laura’s Manhattan wedding is coming up in two weeks, and I’ll be shooting it. In the meantime, I wanted to show the images she and I have made over the past couple of years of her beautifully designed interiors.

In her own apartment, you see large scale paintings which she painted on wood and on the wall itself…

Lauren and Mike’s Fall wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
Again, flower design by Amy Gardella of Seaport Flowers in Brooklyn Heights.
The band was called The Nerds. These guys are fabulous.
 
I’ve been asked to shoot a lot at the BBG lately, and so I thought this blog entry was applicable. I’m also really in a Brooklyn state of mind right now, with a wedding in Prospect Park to shoot tomorrow!
(No thunder storms, please!)

Beautiful Inspiration Boards, by Snippet & Ink

The newest trend of wedding blogging is both inspiring and addictive.

I found a few of my photographs today on the popular, “Snippet & Ink” blog where Kathryn posts delightfully vibrant “picture boards” chronologically numbered by day, each one matching a specific palette of color. She pastes together bouquets, dresses, favors, photos and more. When all of the images are collaged together they are uniformly gorgeous.

This photo was taken at Keliy and Matt’s wedding on his grandparents’ Connecticut farm. Keliy was my main assistant at the time! I was so impressed with their creativity. These flowers and the flowers in Keliy’s bouquet were picked from the ground on that morning!
