Welcome to my blog
So this is a place I rant and rave, wear my heart on my sleeve, gush on my family, and most importantly share my art...the photo stories of wonderful couples and people I cross paths with. Don't be afraid to bookmark it, or leave a comment. I love hearing from everyone and anyone. Check back frequently...I will try to keep you updated.

So I screwed up the family tree, and the history, and a bunch of this wedding's back-story was confusing, but darn-it these pictures will hopefully make up for it.
There are some couples that are as expressive as the day is long, and this is one of those couples. I wanted to explain a few things just to be clear- they saw each other before the ceremony, they then signed the Ketubah (or marriage contract), then there is a Bedeken (the veiling of the bride), and then we headed to the ceremony. Jewish ceremonies are really amazing and this Rabbi was hilarious, and serious and perfect for Caroline and Adam. They wrote their own vows and had everyone dying. Tears were in everyone's eyes because they are both really funny people. The band was AMAZING...simply amazing. My newest favorite wedding band EVER. They are called Walrus and they hail from Greensboro, NC. Book them, don't think twice. If you want your friends to dance like it is their high school reunion and like no one is watching...call them now. This band had falsetto, and guitar solos and ballads, and the lead singer reminds me of Jack Black...he is that entertaining. People were shagging, and rocking all in one night. I serious love them so much I took videos of them on my phone and watch it over and over. "Don't stop believing"... I usually cringe when those types of songs are played at weddings because they are always played at weddings. It is everyone's song... When you hear Walrus play it...air guitar and everything, I promise...whammy! Caroline, vouch for them, if you will.
I will now shut up and let the pictures speak. Happy Thursday!

I feel like I was there - what amazing shots. We were all invited but the date clashed with Jasmine starting school, so reluctantly, we had to decline.
