I LOVE NYC!!

Well we made it this afternoon to the big New York City! This is my first time here and I'm already completely in love with this place!! Ahh! The East coast is just unreal! We walked around Times Square tonight and it's just an amazing experience! I'm probably the last person in the world who hadn't been there but still...I was in complete awe and was mezmorized most of the time and trying not to walk into people cause I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going! lol!
I'll post more about being here tomorrow when I have some more substantial pictures! Here are some from Times Square though!
Also, here are some fun pictures from Justin and Mary's wedding of me and DJ and Becker that I just stole from Becker's and Steve DePino's blog...check out their blogs btw for some incredible shots from the wedding!!! :)
Ok..time to go to bed cause this blog post has taken me like 2 hours to write!! haha!!!

Glorious!!

That is definitely the word that describes this past weekend! It has been absolutely incredible! I'm out here for my AMAZING friend's Justin and Mary's wedding. They are two incredible photographers from here in Connecticut that I met back in May and just fell in love with them! I totally couldn't pass it up when they invited me out to their wedding!! And boy am I glad I didn't miss it! The night before for the rehearsal dinner we all headed out on an old fashioned train, that looked like it was from some movie, to a river boat that took us for a nice tour of the Connecticut River. It was gorgeous and getting to meet all Justin and Mary's friends was wonderful too..especially because like 1/2 of them are photographers! haha!
Yesterday, was their wedding which went off without a hitch! It was the most spectacular day with only lighting that a photographer can get on their wedding day! haha! They had it at this wonderful little quaint church and then the reception at this HUGE mansion right on the ocean! Everything was like a dream, every little detail planned out so perfect! I got a couple shots at the wedding that I'll post soon but my card reader broke so I'm kinda stuck right now! lol...but until then check out DJ's always amazing pics on Justin & Mary's blog...and give them some love too!! I also got to hang with the hilarious Becker and also Matt Grazier who were also there shooting the wedding! Check out their blogs for some awesome pics coming up too!! :) We're heading out to New York tomorrow which I'm SOOO super excited about because I've never been to NYC before! Should be a blast! I love you all so much!
PS..the picture at the top I took tonight downtown Mystic which is such an adorable little quaint town! It like you stepped right into the 1800's! :)

Connecticut!

Ahh! I made it to Connecticut! Yesterday was one of the longest days of my life but it was an adventure! I left at 10:30am for the airport, got to the gate right as they were supposed to be boarding but they made an announcement that we were going to be delayed until 2pm because of the CRAZY weather in New York....we finally boarded the plane at 2:30pm thinking we would be taking off right away! Well right as we were taxiing out we got the call that we had to be delayed 2 more hours...4 hours later we finally got the clearance that we could leave! That was probably some of the best words I've heard in my life!! haha! I finally got into New York around 9pm about 5 hours after I was supposed to but sooo glad to finally arrive! We drove right out here to Connecticut but not before stopping at probably the 10th McDonalds we saw while driving! HAHA!
It is so beautiful here! I really love it! I went on a walk this morning, the colors changing and the crisp breeze is just breathtaking! I just love my life! :)
Ok..time for breakfast...I guess I can still call it that since I'm on Central time still..lol!

Traveling....

Ahh..I love traveling so much! It really makes me get what I absolutely need to get done at home, done very fast! I've been on a roll the past couple days and have to edit 3 weddings today and tomorrow but no big deal I'll just blast loud music and drink lots of um...I can't think of what I drink that is caffeine..yikes!! I better start up a habit! lol! :)
I just updated my calendar on my **website** so you can see all where I'm going in the next couple months! It's going to be sooo busy but exciting!!
I'm also updating my website a little bit so you'll see a couple changes in the next couple weeks but I'll let you know when all the fun stuff is up there!
Ok..back to work.. and to workout! Whew I gotta run!!
I love you all!!

Speeding up your workflow!!

It is so important to find easier and faster, more effective ways to get things done so that you have more free time to do what you really want!!
Well..my brother Mark apparently a strong believer in this philosophy is pretty much a genius and learned how to crack an egg in WAAAY less time then it usually takes! So now he has more time to CLEAN THE KITCHEN!! YEAH!! haha!
Here's a video of him showing you how to do it..as always 3 times a charm:)

Revived!!

Oh man...I don't know what I would do without retreats!! I try to take them about every 3 months or so but the past months have been so busy that I finally just went on one after 5 months which was too long! I went from being soooo overwhelmed with everything to totally knowing exactly what steps I'm going to take next and being renergized just with life!! And it only took 24 hours! It's amazing what just taking a day away from literally everything will do for you! I had a list of about 10 different things that I've been working on and got direction for every single one! God is so amazing!! Plus I went to my favorite place in the world my cousins house out in the country where it is just so peaceful and I can just look up in the open sky and dream! It's so incredible! I think the more busy I get the more of these I'll have to take..but I definitely don't mind because it really draws me closer to God and so focused on what I need to accomplish in this life! I'm EXCITED!! :)
Here's for a little laugh..the other night we had a big birthday party for my brother Andrew and near the end had a little dance party! I danced with my best friend's brother Josiah...who when we were little both refused to ever dance so everyone thought this was too funny to finally get us on the floor...watch our mad dancing skills! LOL!

The most beautiful day of the year!

WOW.
That's pretty much the only word I could come up with for this wedding! I absolutely love Rebecca and Jeff...ever since we first sat down and met at their client meeting I knew that their wedding would be beyond incredible and after shooting their engagement pics I got even more excited! Well...my suspicions were proven true! On the day that is historically know as the most beautiful day of the year they got married and it stayed historically correct for sure! The love that these two show for each other and for everyone else made me laugh and almost cry throughout the whole day it was incredible! They are two of the most fun and funniest people I have ever met so the two together makes for one amazing match!
Here is their adorable slideshow!!

This was my last wedding of the season which I'm sort of sad about...but it will be a nice break.. I don't have any till winter so this was the best way to go out with a bang!!!!! :) I love it!!
PS..Rebecca told me that they are very competitive when it comes to blog comments so let's see how many we can get!! HAHA! ;)
