If you can’t already tell by all of the happy images, these two are the happiest and most kind couple. When they’re together it’s constant giggles and laughing. SO MUCH FUN! It’s so wonderful working with such kind hearted and down to earth people. It makes doing what I do that much more enjoyable and unrestrained. Andrea & Phillip, I just know you’ll continue to have a wonderful & joy filled life together. Thank you for letting me be apart of it… Congratulations!
Lately I’ve been aching to be in Kenya again. I miss how big the sky seems to be, the chai tea every morning, waking up to the sight of the beautiful Ngong hills, how I lived day by day with no obligations or plans. I could decide to travel Uganda or visit the Kenyan coast and then pick up my bags and go. It is liberating living that way and its even more memorable when you have East Africa as your background. I’m missing the Sakuda family and all of the wonderful friends I made in Ooloshoibor, a tiny maasai village in the far outskirts of Nairobi. And my Maasai name, Nashipae, meaning “happy girl”. The only thing I don’t miss about being in Kenya is not being with the people I love at home and how I, ironically, ached for them just as I am aching for Kenya now that I’ve been back … For our honeymoon Eric and I plan on returning to Kenya & Uganda. I can’t wait to introduce him to my Maasai family. They’ll give him a Maasai name and probably taking him hunting in the bush. I get to show him the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen and we get to experience it together. We’ll get to enjoy these things together. Our delayed honeymoon wont be until late next year, but until then I have my photography from my first trip to help me remember these people and places… Paul & Paulina

Lake Bunyonyi, Uganda, the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen

Paulie climbing a tree. He was always eager to show me around. We”d walk to a local dam almost every night where the animals all came to drink
An accidental double exposure I love
Elishia, my favorite. We’d take naps together all of the time. I’d read him children’s books in Kiswahili, hardly knowing what I’m saying. Apparently I did a really good job because he’d listen intently. We both had a good cry when it was time for me to leave.

A very sweet boy I taught. Always willing to help me build the library.
Ooloshoibor Primary!
The 8th grade boys!
Elisha helping Paul make a traditional maasai soup made with acacia bark and blood. You eat it before dinner. It’s supposed to give you an appetite. It definitely took away mine :/
I just love this moment in time

no comments While the east coast was battling a storm, we lucked out with some beautiful weather on the day of Tim & Tylene’s wedding. Gotta love San Diego! They were married in the marina-side gardens at the Sheraton Hotel & Marina on Harbor Island. Everything from the view to the reception room was beautiful. I truly love the images so far!

Loved the wedding cake photographs! I was so excited when Ashley & Adam contacted me about shooting their wedding. Not only would it give me a chance to shoot in a new location (My first destination wedding), but I could tell this was a fun couple that would be so much fun to work with. Not to mention I love going to new places:) Their wedding was in the outskirts of Boston at The Villa. I had the privledge to shoot both the rehearsal diner and the wedding. All of the guests (including myself) were given Boston Red Sox t-shirts with their last name “Cameron” on them. The onsite restaurant was also called “Cameron’s” which must be a sign they were supposed to be married there, right?! These are some of my favorites so far… Enjoy!
