Author Archives: KimI’ll be playing tourist for the next couple of weeks. Any print or album orders placed between May 9th-May 26th will be processed when I return. I will have limited access to phone and email and will return all message as soon as I can. Until then, enjoy these photos of my sweet Pip. She’ll be holding down the fort while we are gone, but since she lacks opposable thumbs, her email response will be slow. I must say she is probably the cutest dog in the world. Ciao!
Colleen and Mike picked the most spectacular location to get married- the Riviera Maya! The water is the most beautiful shade of turquoise. (see first photo below- that is not photoshop) It has to be one of my favorite places to vacation, but now it’s my favorite place to work, too! Even though I didn’t meet with Colleen and Mike before the wedding (they are from New Jersey) we instantly clicked when we met up the day before the wedding. Friends and family from all over came to witness their union at a sunset ceremony on the beach. Afterward the guests were invited to one of the great restaurants nearby at the Resort. It was the first reception that I have ever been to where almost nobody sat down to eat dinner because they were too busy dancing! Now that’s what I call a party! All photos below were taken at El Dorado Resort & Spa in the Riviera Maya (except for the first which was taken from seat 11A) *Special thanks to Casey- love of my life and second shooter/assistant extraordinaire*
Ingredients for a unique and unforgettable celebration: a beautiful handmade dress, vintage shoes, a 1930’s typewriter guestbook, travel themed table settings, sushi cocktail hour, live performances by 2 talented and quirky bands, an intimate dinner at sunset, a variety of fabulous desserts, a flash dance mob, farm animals, a strong man piñata, vintage games, a photo booth complete with costumes, and dancing under the stars… I can only begin to describe the amazing day that was Peter + Amanda’s wedding! I hope that my images convey even just a fraction of the emotion, fun, whimsy, love, and thought that was put into this sweet event, because I can’t seem to put it into words. You just had to be there, and if you were, I know that it was a day that you won’t soon forget. ♥ Congrats to Peter and Amanda!!! (vendor notes below the photos)

My Friend Matt Larson came up with an awesome idea to help Japan; a silent art auction, with all of the proceeds going to the Red Cross! The silent auction goes all month, so if you can’t make it opening night you have another 30 days to stop by and make a bid. There are 33 original works of art that have been donated!
