Darren and I were reminiscing last night about our trip to England to visit our dear friends Jo and Dan. We miss them dearly and we can’t wait to make it back to visit again. So for today’s post I wanted to post a little memento from our trip. This is Darren and I in front of their front door in Bristol. Click on the link above to see some snaps from our trip.
I absolutely love all the details that come together on a wedding day. The unique floral arrangements, bouquets, centrepieces, breathtaking gown, gorgeous jewelry, stunning shoes, pretty hairpieces, delicate veils, and stylish wedding stationary etc all help to make each couples wedding completely their own and representative of their personalities and styles. It always amazes me how people choose to showcase their style and incorporate bits and pieces of what is important to them into their day. These details help me to tell their story and to really convey the emotion and vibe of their wedding photographically.
Some of my favourite detail photos to shoot are the bride’s accessories. So I always have my eyes on the look out for great finds that my brides might be interested in. For today’s FTF post I wanted to showcase an Etsy vendor called Little White Dresser. Avishag Kopelman is the designer and is a textile design student living in Tel Aviv. I think her pieces are just so pretty and feminine with a bit of a vintage touch. I hope you like them! Click on the link above to visit her Etsy store.
I love Maui. It is somewhere I could go back to every year. I miss it …. a LOT. And I can’t wait to get back. So for today’s post here is one shot from my last trip there.
Hmm, I think I’ve seen that cliff somewhere before! 🙂 I feel exactly the same way about that special little island, Kim! Great choice for travel snaps tuesday!
Ohh KIm I miss it so much too!! It takes a piece of your heart when you leave doesn’t it!
I have been waiting to write this post for almost 4 months! And now as the moment has finally come for me to share this on my blog I am sitting here with the biggest smile on my face and happy tears in my eyes. I can’t believe I FINALLY get to share with all of you my newest most AMAZING favourite thing.
DARREN AND I ARE HAVING A BABY !!!!!
We are just SO thrilled. We were waiting to share our big news until we had our ultrasound which happened yesterday. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Our little baby swimming around inside me, kicking and stretching and yawning and flipping around, and yet I can’t feel a thing. I think I may have felt the first ‘flutter’ a couple nights ago while in bed. Perhaps it was wishful thinking. I can’t wait until I can feel baby and can participate in all of its adventures. I can’t wait to lay for hours at night just feeling baby move.
So far I would say I have been quite lucky with my pregnancy. I was in my third month in August, my busiest month of the year. I would be lying if I didn’t say I was worried and nervous about how I would feel. I worried about letting any of my clients down. I stressed about how I was feeling affecting my performance, or that I would maybe not come across as being as friendly or social as I would like to be. But lucky for me my extreme nausea passed in that third month and I am finally getting my energy back and once again feeling more like my ‘regular’ self again …. just a bit bigger. My baby belly can definitely no longer be hidden!
Baby is due to arrive March 18th, 2011 and we are counting down the days. I know it will be here before we know it.
So for my most Favourite Thing Friday post, I would like everyone to meet our wee little baby!
I’m a bit late in commenting, but congratulations on the exciting news!

After the first posts I did featuring doors in Greece, I had a number of comments and emails asking to see more. It turns out you guys are just as obsessed with doors as I am! My neighbour Marilyn, who is one of my newest blog followers, (thank you!) even bought one of the door prints for her home and has inspired me to do the same. I will be printing this beautiful door for my home, just not quite sure where to put it yet. Thanks for the idea Marilyn 😉
Hope you enjoy these newest door additions. I apologize for the number of vertical shots, it takes a bit more scrolling to see them all.
They are all wall worthy! I love the colors + peeling paint. Neat photos!
Oh my – white and blue – my fav ! this is a great collection!

Well look how gorgeous you two are!
