Every year, once a year, Ben and I pay for professional photos. I cherish photos of our parents and grandparents from their youth/time before children so I want to be sure to memorialize this time in our life. While we were in vacation in Lake Como, we decided to snap some portraits at Villa Balianello […]

Lake Como Anniversary Photos | Italy Wedding Inspiration Villa Balbianello

I was over the moon to find our Rachel and Aaron were on their honeymoon in Lake Como at the same time we were abroad! I snapped their proposal years back so I was beyond excited to see them again, make some beautiful imagery and grab some aperol spritz together! We wandered Villa Monastero together […]

Lake Como Weddings | Italian Honeymoon | Villa Monastero

They are currently living life as refugees due to the current war in their country which is just heartbreaking. We hired Konstantyn to snap some photos of […]

Lake Como Wedding Inspiration | Italy Honeymoon Photos | Italian Wedding Venues

Where do I begin this post? I guess we can start with the Why. In 2019, I booked two back to back weddings- one in Italy and one in Scotland. Needless to say, when the world shut down in 2020, this trip was forever canceled as those weddings pivoted to more local affairs. Since then, […]

Lake Como Vacation | Italy Travel Plan | Personal Post

This session was MONTHS in the making! Annie initially reached out to me because she saw on Instagram that we would be in Florence at the same time. Thanks goodness for social media! Because we would both be roaming around to different cities within Italy, we had to plan when our schedules would synch up and it ended up being during my last day in Florence.

Florence Engagement Session | Italy Wedding Photographer | Anne and Jeff

Travel is the only thing that makes you richer… unless you’re Pilot Madeleine and travel LITERALLY makes you rich! This October, I met up with Madeleine and her adorable boyfriend Iqbal on the beach in Positano, Italy for a little sweetheart session. These two are FULL TIME travel bloggers. That’s right people, they get paid to fly all around the world, stay in glamorous hotels and write about their experiences.

Positano Beach Photos | Destination Wedding Photographer | Pilot Madeleine

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.
