Elizabeth+Kelly | Sayulita, Mexico

weddings

Elizabeth and Kelly were my kick off to a crazy fall wedding season and there couldn’t have been a better way to do it. It’s so hard to choose my favorite moment from this wedding. I don’t know if it was the awkward family photos, the break dancing, when Kelly’s almost brother-in-law started dancing to Put a Ring On It and didn’t realize there were only girls on the dance floor waiting for the bouquet to be tossed, or last, but definitely not least when Kelly’s sister caught said bouquet not once, but twice. So. Much. Fun. Wedding design and planning as always by the wonderful Sea of Dreams.

Dominique+Murad | Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

weddings

Dominique and Murad got married this past October in downtown Puerto Vallarta. Dominique has been visiting Vallarta since she was little so when the big day finally came it was an easy choice to have the wedding down here rather than in Canada. Also convenient was their friend Chawnalee’s gorgeous house on the hill at the beginning of the downtown area. Just the right amount of old school Mexican architecture, but with the amenities you can’t live without (like a red pool) and Chawnlee has found some amazing pieces throughout Mexico over the years to further add to the decor. Dominique is a trained sommelier so I knew there was a great party planned, but it got even better when Cocho (San Pancho local and our Friday night escape in Sayulita) was hired to be their DJ. To round it out Mishka presided over the ceremony. We were representing hard core.

Navidad Polaroids.

life

As you read this I am driving down the coast to a pretty exciting shoot in Zihua. (More on that later.) Gotta love timed posts. I was just able to sneak it in while packing my equipment up.

Last year on Christmas Eve I took a bunch of polaroids with the Fuji Instamax I have which you can see here. It was such a success that I took some more this year with my Holga and polaroid back combo.

Out and About in Seattle.

life

There’s something about this shot that I love. I was walking around Capitol Hill in Seattle when I got kicked out of the backstage area of the Capitol Hill Block Party for taking photos (Who knew a backstage pass didn’t mean free rein to take photos of the artists? At least I got a couple rolls off before they got me…)

Happy Holidays y’all. Kodak Portra 160.
