Well Wed in New York Magazine

Kurtis and I have one of our weddings featured in the latest Well Wed in New York magazine. We feel very honored and we are all giggly about it.  Well Wed found Kara and Austin's wedding at Esperanza Mansion on our website and fell in love with it. They called us and asked if they could feature it in the next issue. So check it out! It's on news stands right now!

Wild World of Animals

It has been the wild world of animals around here lately. I was waiting for Kurtis to pick me up from the DMV so I wandered over to the Country Max store. I was watching 2 little love birds do this funny little dance. I wanted to get a picture of them so I got out my camera. When I wasn't looking this little guy jumped from his cage, crawled up my arm and sat on my head. It was so comical that I had to take a picture. 

Our neighbors cat had kittens, this is Basil at 5 weeks. 

Kurtis took this picture and apparently this is how Sylvester and I look when I fall asleep reading my book at night.

Johnny's ladybug. He named him George. 

Sylvester's day out

Our poor Sylvester, he is an old, old man. We took him to the vet because he was not feeling well. He was a champ and let the vet do her exam. Here are a few picks of his day out. 

Angela and Jeremy Engagement Session

Here are some picks from a recent engagement session. Angela and Jeremy are a wonderful, happy couple. They were a joy to photograph.

Jeremy's parents and Angela's grandparents have lived across the street from each other for over 20 years. Jeremy and Angela met on Brooktree Drive when she was 3 and he was 8. They had their first kiss and first "I love you" on Brooktree.

The most amazing thing about this couple is they decided to buy their own church to get married in! Angela and her mom have done an amazing job renovating Westminster Hall and Chapel. Angela couldn't find a non-denominational chapel for them to get married in so she started looking for a church for sale. They will rent the chapel out for wedding ceremonies and memorial services and rent the banquet hall out for wedding receptions, parties and other events. They will offically be open by the end of July. Angela said "Renovating a chapel is not on the typical to-do list of many brides, but it's been fun."

Shikhar and Emily - April 19, 2008

Shikhar and Emily were married at the Hyatt Hotel in Downtown Rochester, New York. They had a traditional Hindu ceremony and then a traditional Christian ceremony. It was amazing!


For the Hindu ceremony they both had on traditional Hindu dress. Emily's sari was beautiful.

After the ceremony the guests were invited to a tea reception while we took family pictures with everyone in their Hindu dress.

After the Hindu ceremony Emily and Shikhar changed into a bridal gown and tux and had Christian ceremony where they exchanged rings.

After the Christian ceremony the guests were invited to the cocktail reception and we took family pictures of everyone in their Christian dress.

The reception was beautiful. The mother of the bride and wedding coordinator, Kelli Berg of Simply Beautiful Events & Specialty Linens knocked themselves out decorating the reception hall. Every detail was perfect and nothing was overlooked.

For the first part of the reception Emily wore her bridal gown and after dinner she changed into another beautiful sari.

Everyone was a dancing maniac. The DJ kept the Indian and American music going all night long.

Emily and her dad dancing to Mustang Sally...

The sweets table. yummy!
