When Sarah from Intrigue Designs asks if you would like to take photos in her stunning floral workshop, you say YES! Intrigue is one of the world’s best floral designers and they host workshops all around the globe. This year, Sarah just so happened to host one at Prism in Annapolis! I loved the minimalism of the space and the white walls were the perfect accompaniment to all of the wildly creative blooms.

I just HAD to separate this session into 2 parts! I am obsessed with California light and this couple so the amount of photos I want to share is overwhelming. We spent the morning at Baker Beach but we also had our hearts set on Sutro Baths. After hitting up Baker Beach, we went over the the baths to find they were lit with insanely harsh front facing light. We decided then and there to comeback at sunset right before my redeye flight home.

Last week, I did something sort of insane. I went to Italy for a week in the middle of wedding season… completely alone. I know, crazy. In fact, I turned down THREE weddings in order to take this trip. For weeks beforehand, I debated whether or not to even go. Truth be told, I was exhausted before leaving for Florence. I run 2 independent businesses, have 19 weddings booked in 2017 and 20 already booked for 2018. After debating staying in bed for a full week instead, I grabbed my passport and decided to head for Europe. 

When you’re in the city of love, it’s nearly impossible to not want to photograph a couple! Cheyenne and Doug are photographers themselves! They run Art de’ Vie and are based out of New Orleans AND Paris! Lucky them! When we were chatting about a sweetheart session, they seemed surprised I didn’t want to shoot on the Trocadero. They shoot couples there on a weekly (if not daily) basis. While I of course did a quintessential shoot on those iconic stairs, I thought it would be a better feel of Paris to shoot on the Champs de Mars.
