Becca & Will - Lake Tahoe, CA (as guest, sister and hair dresser)

Sunday, February 10, 2013

Where do I begin... William is my baby brother. He's 11 months and 3 weeks my junior, a gift from God that we were so close, my parents always told me. Every year, one week before my birthday William would get to celebrate his birthday first. He got his presents first, his birthday dinner first and even got to change his age first, matching my age for a whole week every year. It took me about 10 years to really figure out why all of this had to happen even though I was older but now that we have grown up I would not change it for the world. I now look forward to that week every year and am honored to share my age with him for 7 days. Given our background it was so fitting when William told me he was marring his best friend before me, the first in my family to tie the knot.

William and Rebecca had one of the shortest engagements I have ever experienced, they were clearly just so excited to marry each other! They chose to have a small ceremony and dinner on the snowy shores of Lake Tahoe surrounded by their siblings and parents. It was just perfect!! I am over the moon to have Rebecca as my new sister and could not have dreamed up a better wife for my baby brother. I am so happy for the two of them and wish them a lifetime of happiness.

Personal - The Proposal

I'm excited to announce that I'm joining the club!! If you've been wondering where I've been lately the answer is in Wedding Land!! On January second, after 5 years of dating, my best friend finally asked me THE question... It has been a world-wind of excitement since then but I am happy to say the planning is well underway. It is such a funny feeling to be on the other side of this but I am thrilled and loving every second.


Kelly & Ben - Full Moon Resort Wedding - Big Indian, NY

Wednesday, December 19, 2012

When the leaves fall it seems that all we are left with is barren and dead trees but in reality it's the resurgence of something new. When Kelly and Ben told me they wanted to have an outdoor ceremony on a brisk November day, I was skeptical.  It was impossible not to feel the warmth that day,  watching these two people with so much love and support. Congrats to the love that finds warmth on the coldest of days.

Smith Street Tattoo - Dan Santoro Tattoo Artist

Sunday, November 11, 2012

Yesterday was full of firsts: it was the first time I ever stepped foot in a tattoo parlor and for Chet it was a decision 62 years in the making. The walls at Dan Santoro's Shop were full of options but in the end Chet decided to live by his motto [of the day] "Go big or go home".

Personal - Fun Photos

Cropping a photo is an interesting thing, it can make or break it. My friend Dara asked me to send her a Facebook cover so I said,  "Sure, why not!" She always seems to be one step ahead of me. Who knew I would have so much fun. I just had to share...

Feel free to use one if you would like! (Tag me! And please keep the watermark on there- don't worry it won't show on your Timeline).
