Meghan + Shane

As always, I am honored by the meaningful gesture of two people letting me into their personal and private and intimate and awesome lives for such a big day. To be able to take pictures of emotions and the quirkiness of relationships is such a special gift to me, and maybe just one of the big reasons I love what I do so so much.  Anybody who knows me, knows that I am very obsessed with my own family, so of course, I was smitten with this family- they all seem so obsessed with each other haha– brothers, sisters, mothers, nieces. It was a lovefest. During the first dances, when Meghan and her two brothers and mom started dancing to Head and the Heart, Lost in my Mind, it was magical and time seemed like it stopped for that. This preview is extra long because come to think of it- I don’t think I have ever spent this much time at one wedding day, like 13 hours plus? It was a marathon epic day that couldn’t have been happier.

a few pics from my weekend in Miami with the best sisters

 

I’ve been to Florida several times, but never Miami, and my sisters and I wanted to get away for the weekend to get some relaxin in the sun time. It was glorious, and I had a thought on the beach that this has to be what Heaven will be like. Obviously. The Art Deco buildings are so pretty- a must see! And South Beach is not as weird and crazy as you would expect. We made our way over to the Everglades and saw a bunch of alligators, but it is definitely not one of my all-time fav National Parks…  I mostly like the ones with mountains… And if you go to Key Largo, make sure to stop at the Big Chill restaurant for a spot-on tiki bar experience. The worst part about the trip was being surrounded by NBA Heat fans– for a Celtics fan, it’s pretty traumatizing and awful. Other than that, almost everyone we talked with was amazingly nice and engaging– it must be a Southern thing or something..Oh yah- and a really cool accident- my i phone camera(the only one I brought with) was not auto-focusing correctly, which I thought was real annoying the whole time. But after seeing them larger, I am kinda loving how blurry some of them are. Typical.
